Those that Choke (per division)

[Task]

After watching Ellenberger crumble in his second high profile fight in a row, I have noticed there are always a few fighters within each division that are always on the cusp on that next big step, but seem to always falter.

Heavyweight: Travis Browne
LHW: Phil Davis (maybe?)
MW: Bisping
WW: Ellenberger
LW: Cerrone (maybe?)
FW: Guida
BW: Faber (but he's already made the big step into title fights)
WBW: Tate (same as Faber)
FLW: ?

Please help me fill the blanks or tell me which ones are wrong.

anyone?

 

[Diet Otsuka]

you sound awful negative tonight

 

[Task]

you sound poor tonight

But on topic now.... Who else would you list.

 

[Lucifer Alpha]

How did Guida choke at FW? He's 2-1 and went three rounds with Mendes.

 

[ejazahmednit]

HW : Overeem/Bigfoot
LHW: Phil Davis
MW : Bisping(Munoz maybe)
WW: Burger, Hick Story
LW : Nate Diaz(altho fought for title, seemed out of place)
FW : Diamond
BW : Would say dillashaw 4 days ago, now Jorgensen(altho he is at fly)
Fly : Jorgensen

 

[Pangi]

How did Guida choke at FW? He's 2-1 and went three rounds with Mendes.

Ahhh FYI he got ko'd by Mendes .

 

[Sosua]

Most of team Alpha male have wicked guillotines.

And choke.

 

[FeedNasus]

Most of team Alpha male have wicked guillotines.

Agreed.

Disagree with your list.

Overeem, yes. Bigfoot, no.

Phil - yes....but it's hard to say that about someone with only 2 career losses. I'd go with Bader instead as a more deserving choice.

Bisping, yes. Munoz, no. He's not good enough to beat elites - not a choker. (I'm a fan, though) Possibly could replace his name with Thunder Okami and start a new meme, "Chokami"

Ellenburger - yes. Sadly. I'd also go with Maia.

Nate - Disagree. I'd say The Punk, although each time Jim Miller is knocking on the door, he eats a loss, so.....

Diamond - Disagree. Jeremy Stephens - but he is like a junior Munoz. Not sure if he chokes or is just not at the elite level to get past those final top-tier fighters into first place or a belt.

Disagree - Not TJ or Scotty. Michael McDonald is the guy in this weight class that has come up short under the big lights when he has had the chance. I think he is one of the most skilled fighters in the world, personally, but for some reason he is stuck in the middle of that pack.

Scotty - Still disagree. I'd go with Uncle Creepy in this division, definitely.

 

[Shocktagon]

Iaquinta

 

[JudoThrowFiasco]

Florian

 

[rorschach51]

HW - Overeem.

LHW/MW - Chael he's had 1,000 title fights and never won anything, did the same thing in am wrestling I believe.

WW - Ellenberger & Alves.

LW - Miller, Cerrone, Maynard, Olivera, Dunham & Guida.

FW - Elkins & Lentz.

BW - Faber, Benevidez & Wineland.

FLW - McCall & Benevidez.

WBW - Carmouche & Tate.

my retorts in blue

Disagree with your list.

Overeem, yes. Bigfoot, no. I concur, i put BF only for pudgy young fighters, add Hoy Nelson

Phil - yes....but it's hard to say that about someone with only 2 career losses. I'd go with Bader instead as a more deserving choice. Bader is a good choice

Bisping, yes. Munoz, no. He's not good enough to beat elites - not a choker. (I'm a fan, though) Possibly could replace his name with Thunder Okami and start a new meme, "Chokami"- I still stick with Munoz, he chokes whenever he faces top tier talent, add barbarian to this list

Ellenburger - yes. Sadly. I'd also go with Maia.

Nate - Disagree. I'd say The Punk, although each time Jim Miller is knocking on the door, he eats a loss, so..... Punk fought for the title in SF, gave bendo a tough fight hand broken and all, miller yes

Diamond - Disagree. Jeremy Stephens - but he is like a junior Munoz. Not sure if he chokes or is just not at the elite level to get past those final top-tier fighters into first place or a belt. Diamond is a choker, you see cub KZ, he loses his big fights

Disagree - Not TJ or Scotty. Michael McDonald is the guy in this weight class that has come up short under the big lights when he has had the chance. I think he is one of the most skilled fighters in the world, personally, but for some reason he is stuck in the middle of that pack.Mayday fought for the title, jorgensen chokes big times and then gets choked out

Scotty - Still disagree. I'd go with Uncle Creepy in this division, definitely. creepy arguably beat MM, tim elliot is a good choice
