Most damage taken in a career?

[aerius]

 

[M4R5]

I'd add Bigfoot to the list

 

[Fergelmince]

Not career damage, but for one round, I'd vote Brenneman when he got thrown in the cage with Johnson. In one round that guy took the beating of a lifetime. He looked like a terrified squirrel running from a pitbull in a barn.

 

[BatDad]

Chuck, JDS, Gaethje, Arlovski, Tony, Leben

 

[Dude Incredible]

Lot of good ones in here already...
I think if you take into consideration what some have done outside of the cage to damage their brains: Chuck Liddell. And honorable mention Bisping took plenty and literally lost an eye...

Overeem has 15 losses by (T)KO, can any UFC fighter beat that?

Bigfoot turned into a walking heavy bag towards the end of his career and has 11, plus he has been (T)KOed in bareknuckle and kickboxing so 13.

Minowa has 16.

There are also the Shannon Ritch type examples.

Well there was Justin Thornton also…

Most obvious answer, took a few responses to get there.

I know we dont like to talk about Travis Fulton here but with 320 MMA fights and 75 boxing matches dude must had some serious long term problems.

 

[MikeyB]

Darren Till gets my vote

 

[koquerelle]

Olaf

 

[xentreos]

Big nog and Diego for sure have to be up there. I think bj Penn has to be up there as well he had some really brutal Beatdowns, nick Diaz turned his head into mush.

For how short his career was relatively speaking, Chris Weidman took ALOT of damage.

 

[chiefwiggum]

Gary Goodridge? Overreem?

Jarl

whos jarl?

 

[r-harper-1]

Wabderlei Silva has to be a contender

 

[blaa_kriger]

saku

Yeah saku got my vote as well. His fight against Arona was pretty bad.

 

[Dim1]

Korean Zombie

 

[Tapatio]

Dan the Human Punching Bag Hooker

 

[Gamer2k4]

Overeem has to be way up there.

Overeem got knocked out a fair amount, but I don't remember him being in any real career-shortening wars, like JDS against Cain.
