Hype trains derailed.

Paige "The Next GSP" VanZant
Sage "The Next Anderson Silva" Northcutt
Philipe "The Next GSP AND Anderson Silva" Nover
Doo Ho "The Next Conor McGregor" Choi

And whoever the Next Ronda Rousey was that Dana never named but must've lost at some point because he never mentioned her again.
 
Aaron pico was a big one, too, but he made it to the big show.
 
I really didn’t believe in paddy but man did he surprise us.

Page vanzant never really showed up but her hype was a little high

Then that kid with the front flips

Bo tho, he never showed anything special what was his hype?

I was bummed about Prates loss to Garry. But at least he did not quit like Bo Nickal. you would never see a guy from the favelas quit like that.
 
We used to have cool gif shoops of a train driving off a cliff with a fighter’s face on it.

Can we get a No Nickles gif shoop in this fashion?
 
Hamzat and omally had hype trains that stayed on the rails
 
This wasn’t even that great of a detailing because let’s face it, any Bo hype was gone already after that fight with Paul Craig
 
Who was the Croatian guy that PRIDE kept hyping up as "Baby Cro Cop?" Groan Reljik? Yeah how'd that hype train end up.

I don't mind "hype trains" provided they don't act like the second coming before accomplishing anything. Bo Nickal, Paddy Pimblett, Johnny Walker come to mind as the latter (although Paddy has since proved himself). Sage Northcutt and PVZ really didn't talk a lot of trash before having earned the right to do.

Boxing equivalents of hype trains that talked a big game and didn't back up the hype would be guys like Adrian Broner and Prince Naseem Hamed. The former more so than the latter. Thos are the kind of hype trains that get under my skin.
 
Im glad the Bo hype has cooled way down


He showed he ain’t willing to die for cheap pay like the rest of’em
 
Sage was an accomplished karate phenom & Bo’s collegiate wrestling credentials are top notch

Were they “overhyped” probably yeah in retrospect but it’s not like it was made up out of thin air
