Top prospects turned to busts

[Son of Werdum]

This is a bad post. All of these guys had pretty major accomplishments.

Yeah, tell me more about Duffee's "major accomplishments."

I remember watching that thinking his leg would be fucked

Ricky Story is far from a bust.

He certainly became a bust when he dropped 3 of 4 fights after his two biggest wins.

After Ellenberger and Hendricks he was supposed to be the next WW champ, now he is fighting in PFL....

Anyone remember Steve Cantwell? He was not necessarily a top prospect, but losing 5 straight after winning his UFC debut was a bit surprising.

Yair just gets once chance?

 

[WHITE ANDERSON]

there is only one true answer: THE HYBRID

 

[Lukn4trbl]

Ryan Bader

Houston Alexander

 

[punky brewster]

Good list so far.

I’d also add Korean Superboy (too soon?)

He's still relatively young, and his UFC record is 3-2. With four OTN bonuses. And his two losses were to top 5 guys at the time.

Disappointing losses, but I don't think he qualifies as a 'bust'

Agree with everyone except Gunnar.....

Going 7 - 3 in the UFC with six finishes doesn't qualify as a bust.

Hatsu Hioki - I legit thought he was gonna do big things coming into the UFC and thought he couldve been the one to dethrone Aldo. Boy was I wrong and extremely gutted ...

Joanne Calderwood - *Sad face*

 

[TRYHARD 2001]

Yeah but he dieded from that punch iirc, that was his last fight right??

Nah man, Houston has had dozens of fights since then, usually resulting in a very similar outcome. He did manage to beat Soko, though. And of course there was that classic against Kimbo...

Israel Adesanya

I don't think you understand what a bust is.

 

[Xaero]

Akiyama?

A lot of you did bust a nut on his pictures.

 

[Big Tuppy Hole]

That english guy tha kneed Diego in the face, you know that guy

 

[Son of Werdum]

I don't think you understand what a bust is.

Going on a big losing streak after the biggest wins in your career and ending up in PFL is certainly busting.

You don't have to get knocked out 10 times in a row to be a bust.
