Was Rivera vs Yan the best-losing performance?

[Fesaine]

Reyes 1,2,3, Boys

robbery doesn't count.

for example, rivera vs yan was clearly not a robbery. but Jimmie looks great in 99% of that fight. it's just that he got caught and dropped at the very end of round 1 and 2. which cost him the decision.

Weidman was doing pretty good against Yoel until disaster struck.

 

[Mammothman]

No fighter have gotten more props for losing than this guy in this "fight"

"His first boxing bout"

"Lasted 10 rounds"

"Outlanded Canelo and PAC"

"Did better than most fighting the goat"

"Rules peotected floyd"

"Would haven't last 1 min in MMA"

"Made 100 millions"

 

[sutherland]

Shogun vs Lyoto 1

I thought Tito looked good in the second Liddell fight. He fought very hard.
I thought Machida,when he finally got going in round 3 made rampage look ridiculous
I thought Okami looked better than Franklin for similar reasons to Machida/Rampage

Good call on the Okami-Franklin fight. Forgot about that one.

Everyone wins rounds against Yoel, that's not impressive at all. It was 1-1 heading into the third

Until this moment, Okami looked the best he ever did in his whole UFC career.

It was impressive to me. What I say,is best.

 

[Huligani]

Rivera was not winning every round.

 

[Mahkor]

Romero vs Whittaker 2, the "loser" almost murdered the winner on live TV.

 

[PlayTheGame]

Chael vs Anderson, Reyes and Gus vs Jones, Romero vs Whittaker 2, Fedor vs Maldonado, GSP vs Hendricks, there are tons of better examples.

 

[PlayTheGame]

It's so funny because they act like Rivera is a bad fighter. Rivera is a good fighter and only has losses vs Sterling and Moraes in the UFC besides Yan

Not to mention he was way, way more experienced than Petr. It was a 14th career fight for Yan and 26th for Jimmie (who had twice as many UFC fights as well). It was a good fight and a tough test for a young up-and-comer.

Petr had better strength of schedule prior to becoming a champ than both TJ and Cody, AND he fought more often too.

 

[Portland8242]

Gus vs Jones 1 easily.

That was Jones at his peak with that legit aura of invincibility.

 

[xhaydenx]

Yan haters are desperate to discredit him.

No one is discrediting Yan here though.

But....isn't this all true?
