Not anymore. Bout to be the champ.

 

[BisexualMMA]

I think this is mostly casuals going with the name they know.

 

[CJohnny]

Fighters are done until they win.

Rothwell was fighting against a shot opponent in his last fight. Until he lost.

 

[touchedbyjab]

Miguel Torres

 

[killakillakilla]

I think this is mostly casuals going with the name they know.

I mean he ran from a drug test, lost to Bigfoot, lost to Browne, lost to Rothwell, lost muscles.....

A lot of people were disappointed with Overeem at that time. He's made a great comeback.

My mistake, I didn't look closely at the date.

Sad to say that it's probably Gilbert Melendez. He should have been UFC champ though...got hosed vs. Bendo as others had before(Edgar 2) and since(JT). His inactivity, the bust, and Giblert have shown for a bad UFC run though.

Overeem has had a good, active run in the UFC.

for the WEC side, how about Josh Grispi? This guy was undefeated and the next big thing and never won a fight again that wasn't against his wife.

Steve Cantfightwell

He was a bright prospect, then he lost 100 fights in a row and retired.

 

[Blayt7hh]

His name was Steve Cantwell wasn't ? The last wec lhw champ? Yeah he was a pretty epic flop in the UFC

Guess the joke went over your head, lol. But yes, Cantwell.

 

[Hans Gercmiov]

Out of that list it's got to be Torres. He took a nosedive.

 

[reddhelium]

lombard's been an overpaid bust for the ufc so far.

not to mention he got busted for peds as well.

 

[VinceArch]

Feijao deserves a mention.

 

[X Factor]

As much as I enjoyed the guys fights Miguel Torres takes the cake here

 

[evolution03]

At his low point it was overeem by a mile. Since his resurgence, it would have to be giblert or mayhem. Mayhem was seconds away from submitting shields on network tv at one point.

 

[Bmurray]

Only thing keeping him from Goat status is his career-long glass chin

 

[sutherland]

Faber easy was king of the world forever then just before the UFC introduce his weight class he couldn't win a title fight. I talked about him for sooooo long and he just shit the bed

 

[zxyss25]

Shocked Jake Shields isnt on that list

I really though he was going to beat GSP when he came over from Strikeforce, as he had been the champ in strikeforce up a weight division and beat Hendo

Big Foot Silva also, especially recently, Hunt broke him

Who else can I add...Jordan Mein hasnt become what I thought he would be, but certainly isnt a bust

I was hoping Marquart would have a resurgence in WW division after KOing Woodley

Tarec Saff has been disapointing, but I thought he was slightly overrated anyway, as you cant really win fights strictly on leg kicks



On the other hand...biggest anti flops...Lawler, Arlowski and OSP
