Hammer vs Nail

[Bowel-forged Stool]

Alright guys, we always talk about fighters being the hammer, not the nail, but what are your examples of the nail beating the hammer?

I guess big foot vs Overeem is another
I love Reem though, possibly my favorite besides prime McGreGOAT

Raoni Barcelos was supposedly being fed to Payton Talbott (I thought it was a stupid squash match that shouldn't have been made at all), then Barcelos beat him

Pete Sell vs Scott Smith

Big Nog would always get beaten up before coming back.

Charles title run was a good example too (even though before that the argument was against it)

Leon Edwards is a terrible example overall, but his fight against Usman is probably the only time and is a classic one.

Came to say Anderson vs Sonnen that was the one in my mind the most. That fight was unbelievable because even though there were other fights in MMA that were good comebacks, nothing was as sustained and long as that fight. Sonnen beat him up for literally 24 minutes, Sonnen beat Anderson in the striking and the ground, then out of nowhere the triangle!! it was incredible. I really thought we were heading for a 50-43. Amazing ending!!! true champion.

UFC 117 that event was sooooooooooo good, all the fights were crazy fun on that card.

Til vs Masvidal

Til looked so good in the build up to his title shot against Woodley. Got outclassed mostly on the ground against Woodley, ok it happens. Jorge came in off b2b decision losses and off the heels of his reality show hiatus.

Right off the jump Til floors him and looks like its back to business for the gorilla. but then.
