Matches where the defending champ was expected to lose by the majority?

[sniperbob]

discuss.

 

[Transmorphers]

Serra vs GSP 2 is probably number one.

GSP vs Hughes 2 as well, I think. I can't remember what the majority thought on that one but GSP looked unstoppable.

 

[The Taxman]

surprisingly Silva/Sonnen II but that was just a stupid nuthuggers.

Serra/GSP II is the answer though

 

[Natman2939]

GSP/Serra 2
GSP/Hughes 2
Edgar/Penn 2 (though that obviously didn't work out)

 

[Dontfight]

Shogun was an underdog vs Jones
aslo TS you should put some more effort if you start a thread, there is nothing to discuss here, just a short list

 

[Soul On Ice]

Shogun/Machida 2

not for lack of effort but i expected sherdog to disagree as they usually do.

It's like 7/10 pros pick Sonnen to win in the rematch with Andy. Bigfoot even said he'll win because Andy is a Brazillian, not so much on being a fighter

 

[Enigma87]

Machida Vs Evans. After Machid's display against Thiago, he was like 2 to 1 favorite against Rashad. Wouldn't have been so crazy if Rashad wasn't undefeated and so dominant at the time

 

[BEER]

I think a good majority of people thought BJ was going to murder Edgar in the rematch.

 

[CCA]

Cain in the first...
Rashad vs Machida

 

[shaggylq]

shogun vs jones

comerie vs big foot (might not count)\

cain vs JSD

 

[IlFenomenoVero]

Henderson vs Nate

Not to say I was expecting Benson to lose, but in the time leading up to the fight I read some pretty bold statements.

 

[Diet Otsuka]

IBigfoot even said he'll win because Andy is a Brazillian, not so much on being a fighter

Surprise of the day.

 

[Gio]

Henderson vs Nate

Not to say I was expecting Benson to lose, but in the time leading up to the fight I read some pretty bold statements.

Yep, when the pros pick, Benson was like 2/10 too

 

[Matthew Fedler]

Couture vs Rizzo, Couture vs Gonzaga, Forrest vs Rashad, Tanner vs Franklin II, Edgar vs Penn II, Edgar vs Maynard II, Pulver vs Penn, etc.

Serra/GSP II is the answer though

are you trying to say Chael was favoured in the second fight? if so you're wrong, all the betting lines i was looking at had AS the favourite

 

[The Taxman]

No. On here there were a lot of Chael threads every goddamn day about how Silva won't be lucky again blah blah blah

 

[the382iceman]

couture vs lesnar

 

[wwedanawhite]

No. On here there were a lot of Chael threads every goddamn day about how Silva won't be lucky again blah blah blah

but are you claiming that the "majority" of people thought that? because once again i don't think you're correct, most of the reply's i remember were people saying that if a roided up chael couldn't beat an injured AS then what chance would he have when silva is Healthy and chael isn't over the test limit
