Pretty much everyone in the UFC vs. Elvis Sinosic.
The results were about as predictable as Jacare vs. Camozzi, you knew exactly who the UFC wanted to win.

True for the most part, but Jeremy Horn missed the memo. What an upset at the time that was.

GSP vs. Hieron. From start to finish, just a mauling. Total mismatch.

Yeah, he had one job...and he blew it. Bisping almost threw away his fight against Sinosic as well, I was cheering so hard when Elvis had him wobbled.
 
Anyone vs Anthony Perosh.

I remember CroCop feeling bad after destroying him. He was like "Thank you for taking that fight on super short notice. Sorry, I tried to win without hurting you too much..."

He still has this to be super proud of :
