Who's missing?

Eddie Alvarez getting tko'd in his first fight in One to a 12-4 Russian guy that had beaten mostly cans up to that point surely makes the list. Maybe Eddie should go back to the USA there the competition is easier

Also Erick Silva not being a three division champion today is a disappointment. But he's still young so we need to be patient and give him time to develop

[FreddieRoachsVoice]

Houston Alexander was insanely exciting but completely fell off after his first 2 UFC wins.

Randy Couture and Fedor never getting to fight.

Anderson having a mental breakdown and losing to Bisping which would have been a massacre 5 years prior.

Sherk having amnesia and forgetting his wrestling the entire Penn fight.

Cro Cop never even getting a title shot in the UFC.

Chael getting triangled by Anderson.

TRT Vitor showing up like a deflated balloon against Weidman.

Chuck not avenging the loss to Rampage and fighting Dan Henderson. Also, Chuck losing to Rashad

Lawler getting KTFO by Woodley

MMA is full of disappointment

Huge disappointment.

 

[jnes]

Ben Askren
Gokhan Saki
David Branch

 

[RichardHarrow]

Huge disappointment.

As long as his AVs remain the way they are I’ll follow @Slobodan into battle.

 

[fanofviolence]

does james toney count?

 

[stevetherican]

Sokoudjou also actually

 

[A Very Serious Cat]

Forgot the two big ones:
CM Punk
Sage Northcutt

I think cm punk precisely met expectations

 

[McSpikes]

Gokhan Saki- I expected him to eventually be wrestlefucked but not destroyed on the feet while still getting favorable matchups

 

[traditionally_irreverent]

Sage Northcutt

 

[Pierce 34]

Me according to my dad
