The first time I ever saw mark Hunt fight he fought Vanderlei Silva and won despite being a rookie in MMA. Silva gave up an awful lot of weight in that fight but still Hunt showed incredible instincts for a rookie and got out of many near submission holds. I thought Hunt would be Heavyweight Champion one day but he hasn't had the necessary consistency. Just when he seems on the verge of greatness, he loses a fight he shouldn't have lost.

I also have been let down by Josh Barnett. I thought he would become UFC Champ for a second time but it has;t happened. Again, consistency is his biggest problem. Of all the great fighters he may be the most inconsistent.

Eric Silva, Nam Phan, Paulo Thiago and the smiling / happy warrior chick from TUF.
 
Mayhem Miller comes to mind.

I thought he'd do well when he came to the UFC, but he just could not perform on the big stage.
 
I decreed Paulo Filho would be the greatest of all time.
 
Mayhem. He had potential. So much potential...

He did okay against a surging GSP. The Bisping fight was disappointing and the CB fight just pissed me off.
 
Love the Diaz Brothers but Nick has failed every significant test put his way.

meh I feel like Mark Hunt hasn't been a let down... He just doesnt have the grappling. He has a solid takedown defense. But the grappling isn't there. Dude almost had Fedor in a Kimura though. That was nuts.

My pick is Brandon Vera. Man the hype machine had me buying into all of his talk. I thought he would be UFC champ in at least one division by now.
Close but no cigar Mr. Vera

I might have to make a thread on him now lol
 
Jake Ellenberger -_-

Literally my face watching his fights lately
