You either have a sense of humor or you’re trolling.

People usually talk about the Chonan fight but Takase was a bigger upset

How is he considered the GOAT by many when he have losses against these guys lmao

 

[VVarhead]

How is he considered the GOAT by many when he have losses against these guys lmao

Maybe because he holds the longest (non-manlet) title-defense streak in UFC history plus the most knockdowns and knockouts in title-fights. 16 fight winstreak, etc.
I'm not expecting you noobs to understand, though. Losses don't erase your achievements lol.
Silva wasn't afraid to take risks, that's why he was amazing to watch and why he sometimes got caught. His first UFC loss came at nearly 40 years of age.

44 year old Silva did better against Adesanya than Whittaker <Lmaoo>

Hard to believe now but Dustin beating Josh Grispi was a big upset at the time.

 

[Limit Smasher]

I think Erik Koch vs Ricardo Lamas was an upset.

Koch was lined up twice to fight Aldo and the fight fell through and eventually Koch fought Lamas who knocked him out and Koch was never really near the top ever again but is still in the UFC fighting on the early prelims as a Welterweight

Good one. I remember that. Crazy that Koch is still hanging around the UFC. He's gotta be one of their most inactive fighters. Something like 5 fights in 6 years.

When Jamie Varner returned to the UFC to knock out an undefeated Barboza as a short notice replacement.

Mackens Semerzier tapping out Wagnney Fabiano with a triangle from guard was fucking NUTS. I can't even begin to describe how wild that shit was. Fabiano was already an IFL champion, WEC veteran, and BJJ ace. Semerzier wasn't shit. No one had ever heard of him, and he goes out and taps an experienced BJJ ace with a triangle from guard.

Mark Coleman - Maurice Smith

If it was ever on the internet, it's been saved.

Was that the one where Benji fought some guy from the crowd and got knocked out?

The story I heard was Benji was hitting on the dudes girl at weigh ins after Benjis opponent had to back out and the guy was like fuck it I'll fight you. Then the org tried to offer the guy a bunch of money for the rematch after he knocked em out lol

 

[PirateTetra]

Alex Caceres vs Sergio Pettis. Don't remember the betting odds but Sergio had a little hype train going at the time.

 

[Blayt7hh]

It was an upset for the MAGA’S(A.K.A, insecure Racists,”White Hoods”,etc)

Kind of busy sounds like you’re obsessing over your own racist issues

 

[Chad The Limey]

John Hathaway vs Diego Sanchez

Wasn’t long after Diego’s title shot versus BJ, and he wasn’t yet the brawling bum a lot of people consider him now

 

[Just Creed]

How is he considered the GOAT by many when he have losses against these guys lmao

There's always some idiot tryhard who tries to derail a thread

 

[Drugstore Cowboy]

Off my head:
Lauzon - Pulver
Brown - Faber 1 (good ole WEC days)
Takase - Silva
RDA - Bendo

You could remember thousands of these little upsets where dogs beat favs.

Eddie Yagin upsets Mark Hominick

Speaking of Hominick, I was surpirsed when he submitted Yves Edwards back in 2005 or 06 (earlier UFC's).

 

[Hellowhosthat]

John Hathaway vs Diego Sanchez

Wasn’t long after Diego’s title shot versus BJ, and he wasn’t yet the brawling bum a lot of people consider him now

Good one, Hathaway then went on to be upset himself by Mike Pyle.

 

[J Danger]

Brenneman vs Story is still my favorite. Story had so much hype and it killed that and his confidence. The story behind how Brenneman won behind the scenes was even better.

what’s the behind the scenes?

 

[J Danger]

Also Huerta vs Florian was a big upset for me. Huerta had a lot of hype behind him at the time and Florian picked him apart.

 

[Bartosh]

Moose vs Uriah Hall 1

 

[RDUBYA]

Vovchanchyn vs Telligman

 

[John makfresshi]

Elkins hair raising, cheer inducing, bounce back from dominating to stop Bektic. I literally screamed in excitement and had a tear building up I was so hyped for him. He deserved that moment for his hard work and overcoming failing the genetic lottery
