Fighters you secretly had high hopes for.

[Ashi Barai]

great thread... id go with moose

 

[CoffeeAndBeer]

Well, Jordan Mein, who just retired.... and Adlan Amagov, who also retired young.

I thought Amagov would be WW Champ.

 

[CoffeeAndBeer]

I thought Michael Mcdonald was going to be a pretty good fighter..

then Faber had to retire him

McDonald isn't retired. Is he?!?

 

[abrasion]

Jake ellenberger...

 

[Trybz]

I wanted Brett Rodgers to do good too

 

[Ace of Spades]

Soa, Hester, and Hall.

Also Aguilar and Alvarez but they're in a different class.

Tom Watson - He's known as "the most entertaining fighter from England," he's got incredible durability, and his fight with Stanislav Nedkov was excellent and gave me high hopes for him. Unfortunately, he's 2-5 in the UFC now.

Andrew Craig - Started off his UFC stint by beating Noke, Natal, and Leben... but it all went downhill from there.

 

[arslan]

Brandon Vera...

 

[SpiderNxno]

I have been a bit disappointed by Moose Saucy. Still a big fan but thought he was going to be champ in UFC too.

 

[TankAbbott4Eva]

George Sots, but he got badly exposed for his low level striking and wrestling.

[minowasmullet]

I was hiding somewhere on the G-Sot hype train for a while

 

[rev0lver]

McDonald isn't retired. Is he?!?

No, he had a problem with his hand that kept getting worse each fight so he took some time off to fix it. He SHOULD be back soon but it worries me that he's been quiet for so long.

I don't understand if this is a troll post or not because there are legitimate disappointments in here. But otherwise wtf

 

[TwoFace]

Gomi. By the time he came to the UFC he was already on a steep decline physically and had become way to reliant on his power shots. I knew his best days were behind him but I still wish that he somehow, someway pulls a Randy Couture and has a real career resurgence.

 

[opie]

Roger Huerta

totally

 

[krelianx]

Erick Silva, Maynard, Huerta, Ishida...

 

[BillyPilgrim]

Oliveira looked like a future god to me when he first appeared. He's still flirting with greatness, not like he's washed out, but he's stumbled much more than I would have thought.

 

[Thai Kwon Jiu]

Amir Sadollah, Michael McDonald and Pat Cummins.
