Weirdest UFC Tenure?

[laleggenda27]

Art Jimmerson. He was one and done and the guy who wore one boxing glove in his fight with Royce. Got subbed too because you can’t fight a choke with one hand all that effectively

Royce didn't choke Jimmerson. He tapped because he panicked from being mounted.

Artem Lobov
Nate Diaz
Muhammad Mokaev

Ben Askren was an interesting one. The most boring fighter in history was in three memorable scraps: nearly got beaten at his own game by Lawler and then the weird choke finish, the Masvidal knee and an all time grappling championship match against Maia which was very intriguing.

Like I said he was meant to be boring but I was damn entertained by his UFC career.

GOOD CALL...

Not too many undefeated guys get the treatment he got.

 

[Emporio Alnino]

I always thought Cro Cop's whole UFC run was bizarre; multiple lackluster performances and several non UFC years between stints. Feijao is another guy that fizzled out quick after looking good in Strikeforce.

Tuf isn’t the ufc, he only technically fought once in the ufc and lost to cb dolloway

Not sure why you felt the need to clarify that. I said he had wins on TUF I didn't say in the UFC, ok?

You never said in your original post that he actually fought once in the ufc, I was correcting your mistake

 

[Bob Sagat]

Jesse Taylor

Made it to the TUF 7 finale but kicked off the show for acting a fool. Comes back roughly 9 years later goes back on TUF gets to the finale and wins and finally becomes The Ultimate Fighter only to fail a drug test get suspended for a full year the subsequently cut from the UFC.

Antonio McKee
Guy talked shit for years about how the UFC was afraid to sign him because he'd expose their welterweight division and would embarass GSP. He be finally signed, only to lose his debut on the UFC 125 prelims against Volkmann and be immediately cut afterwards.

My vote would go to Nicco Montaño.

She was a UFC champion and only had TWO total fights in the UFC, going 1-1. (That's definitely gotta be a record)

- Won the belt by winning TUF
- Was stripped of the belt for a failed weight cut
- Was suspended for PEDs
- Lost her only other UFC fight
- Pulled out of her next fight due to injury
- Next fight was postponed
- Same fight was postponed again
- Eventually withdrew from that fight all together because of travel restrictions
- Pulled out of her next fight
- Missed weight by SEVEN POUNDS for her next fight, which was subsequently cancelled
- Cut from UFC

Phil Brooks gets an honorable mention here, but because Montaño was a CHAMPION, her UFC stint gets the nod, imo.

I am not very good at English but I try! so:
Tenure from the Latin tenere means "to hold" and refers to the period of time a person works at a particular job or in an office.

Yeah Nicco will be hard to beat for that!
I kinda feel sad for her.
They put her in a spot she never got to prepareg for.
Blame should go to the Fucking UFC scumbags!

Taylor actually did get a fight in the ufc if I remember correctly. He lost to cb dolloway and then got cut.

Tuf isn’t the ufc, he only technically fought once in the ufc and lost to cb dolloway

You never said in your original post that he actually fought once in the ufc, I was correcting your mistake

Yup you already did that. Guess it needed to be said twice??? I was clear about the 8 fights being on TUF and not in the actual UFC, so bye bye now..

JT money is a true legend

In PRIDE, Mark Kerr had the first three Weirdest fights you could have for a promotion, only to pick up another bizzare final fight later on that got him cut from the promotion.

 

[Rationality]

Hard to top the Chris both shattering Anderson's leg then shattering his own leg.

 

[Khaosan]

David Loiseau looked like a monster and even fought for the MW title. He was absolutely battered by Franklin and then never looked the same. He even made it back to the UFC twice and lost both times.

K, Bye

I don't know about weirdest, but the greatest tenure in UFC history would have to have been CM Punk.

When the guy who beats you gets cut because he couldn't finish your sorry ass you KNOW you suck. LOL
