Reflecting on old PRIDE and UFC fights

Who are some fighters from yesteryear that have been largely forgotten??? They didn't have to be great fighters. Maybe just personalities, or had a brief moment in the sun.

Justin Eilers
Hermes Franca
Butterbean (in MMA)
Cabbage
David Terrell
Pele
Filho
Minowa
Kondo
Gan Mcghee
Telligman
 
Akira Shoji was so GOATed that I named my dog Shoji in his honor. And if I was calling for her I'd scream her name out "Shooooojiiiiii" like Kei Grant

I will NEVER forget Marloes
 
Todd Duffee
I was onboard with the hype train when he debuted in the UFC, but unfortunately it didn't last. Will always remember him for the Chipotle burrito browsing Sherdog photo.

Hermes Franca
Oof.

Butterbean (in MMA)
Will always be a fan due to his epic fight with Zuluzinho in PRIDE.

Legend. Will always remember him for his IVC fights and for that one flying knee he hit on Carlos Newton in PRIDE that didn't knock him out somehow.

One of the best grapplers in MMA back in the day. Unfortunately his issues got the best of him and his career didn't work out as hoped. That second fight with Sonnen was unfortunate.

King of the freakshow fights. Will always remember the Super Hluk title.
 
Rory Mcdonald
Not really that forgotten as he was on a tear early on his UFC run and is a UFC HOF due to the epic fight with Robbie.

Mguel Torres
Frank Mir's favorite fighter. He was more than a "champion level" fighter as he was the WEC BW champ. back in the day.

Will always remember him for his Strikeforce run.
 
Hector Lombard
I remember being on the hype train when he was steamrolling folks in Bellator. I thought he would be a UFC champ., but unfortunately that never panned out.

Eddie Alvarez
Doesn't really count. He's a former UFC champ. in recent years.

Lyman Good
Big fan of him in the early Bellator days.

Marius Zaromskis
That head kick spree he went on in DREAM when some folks were talking him up as Mini Cro Cop. Good times.

Marloes Coenen
WMMA legend.

Ray Cooper III
Not really forgotten as he fought in PFL last year.

Andrey Koreshkov
Not really forgotten either as he fought in PFL this year.

Tarec Saffiedine
He was very good in Strikeforce.

Joe Warren
He walked so Danny Sabatello could run.

Zoila Frausto
She's still around, but mostly competing on smaller regional events.

Eduardo Dantas
I was a big fan of Dudu when he as competing in Shooto Brazil. I remember being all excited when he signed with Bellator. Always wanted to see him in the UFC. It almost happened a few years ago as it was reported he and Pederneiras met with Dana, but it looks like it didn't work out.
