Lesser Known MMA facts

Current UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Daniel "DC" Cormier got KTFO by welterweight grappling ace Mike "Quicksand" Pyle in sparring. I believe it was a vicious knee.

 

[McGeezle]

And ironically, only lost to the guy in the same weight class as him.

He also lost to the heavier guy and only beat the guy smaller than him. Where's the irony?

If Chuck would've beaten Rampage in the 2003 Grand Prix, we would have gotten to see he and Wanderlei fight in (or close to) their primes.

 

[Venom]

Ken Shamrock last 2 fights ended up in the exactly same round,time and finish RD 1 TKO 2:22...If this doesn`t confirm Iluminati i don`t know what does.

Maybe the referee is a member? He waited that extra second.

Rob Kaman, the kickboxer, and Nobuaki Kakuda, the karateka and K-1 ref, fought each other in Rings. Kaman won via knee drop.

Ken Shamrock fought against kickboxer Frank Lobman, a guy with a 90% KO ratio, who, at that time, had only lost against Peter Aerts. The fight occurred under the Pancrase banner, but was, for some inexplicable reason, contested under kickboxing rules. Unsurprisingly, Lobman KO'd Shamrock.

 

[Bobby Boulders]

Marloes Coenen was the first champion of any kind in WMMA.

Kamal Shalorus is 9-4-2 in competition he debuted in the UFC with a 7-0 record, he lost his next three to Jim Miller (on his winstreak) Khabib Nurmagedov, and Rafael Dos Anjos. Afterwards he then lost to Shinya Aoki.

Gunnar Nelson defeated Jeff Monson (legit HW and BJJ black belt) in 2009 ADCC tournament despite huge weight discrepancy.

 

[Thuckey]

Nick Diaz is the only person to fight bj penn ,gsp,and Anderson silva. He also has a record of 1-1-1 combined against the 3.

Also he lost against GSP, won against BJ and NC against Silva.

IF you organize the results from least preferable to most preferable for Diaz, you get the list of :

1. GSP
2. Anderson
3. BJ Penn

Would you guys agree that this shows the best fighter to worst?
