The quickest hype train that got derailed.

[KazDibiase]

That one fighter who had a lot of hype based of publicity or a win but then got derailed super fast after.

 

[Fungoose]

Aaron Pico. He was just a baby when he got derailed.

 

[VanMMA]

Niklas Backstrom.

 

[The Witcher]

Yair Rodriguez

 

[12ga.]

Paige, Sage, Gomi, and soon to be Khabib.

I'd count Connie too but he's smart enough not to fight.

 

[Oj21]

Yairs was pretty brutal. Was supposed to be one of the new faces of the UFC and Frankie just embarrassed him.

 

[Sansnom]

 

[Roop Holstry]

Abedi had all this hype due to his muscles and got derailed like 4 minutes into his UFC career

 

[Thesnake101]

Uriah Hall's TUF hype.

 

[Dead Kennedy]

There were fuckers on here actually picking him to win. Oh how things turned out...

 

[Parang]

I would say Kelvin Gastelum but hes still poppin

 

[D'z]

Platinum managed to rust.

 

[Gambit MMA]

yair and ngannou. hilarious

 

[lakersfan45]

Todd duffee

 

[Pacemaker Joe]

yair and ngannou. hilarious

Ngannou lost a title fight. Even at HW, he's hardly the quickest derailment.

 

[Sansnom]

Paige, Sage, Gomi, and soon to be Khabib.

I'd count Connie too but he's smart enough not to fight.

Khabib, Conor..



I think some people don't understand the meaning of "hype train".

Khabib is undefeated in 25 fights. Yes he has a padded record but he's obviously a talented fighter. He beat some top guys like RDA, Michael Johnson, Barboza.

Conor talks a lot but he's also a good fighter. He has beaten Aldo, Mendes, Holloway, Alvarez amongst others.

A hype train is someone who beat some no names or had a lucky win against a top guy (Or a past his prime top guy) and became popular. Then loses fights or gets outclassed by top guys.

 

[The Witcher]

Aaron Pico. He was just a baby when he got derailed.

Nope. Hardly derailed after he highlight knocked out his last opponent.

 

[ImNotSurpisedDonks!]

Paige, Sage, Gomi, and soon to be Khabib.

I'd count Connie too but he's smart enough not to fight.

Gomi

You mean the Gomi that is practically the consensus #2 lightweight of all time?


Also, how did Khabib get in there with Paige and Sage??? Khabib is one fight away from having as many fights as Mark Coleman and has never lost, and all while either facing some of the best fighters in the world in Dagestan bred killers, UFC champions like RDA or fighters that beat Tony, like Michael Johnson. Paige tho, she only knows head and arm throws and how to act like she is fading out of consciousness to get out of a fight.

 

[BrookinsFan]

Nobody comes close to Super Sage. Sage had half of Sherdog claiming he was a superior human being because he had abs and could do a front flip. Threads on threads on threads about his potential, his ceiling, his cheekbones. But after the Barbarena fight?
