Whats the biggest fluke win in UFC history?

Imagine thinking a guy wasn't out when he was in a blood choke and his arm falls and bounces off the canvas. People who are conscious don't move like that, unconscious people do.

you obviously LACK COMMON SENSE, if Robbie had the blood cut off to his head he would wobbled and shown a sign of dizziness when immediately getting up after the stoppage. He wasnt even dazed

That isn't how blood chokes work, you're describing someone who's been rocked with strikes. If you loosen a blood choke the instant someone goes out they wake up very fast. Hughes got choked out by Newton and the choke loosened right after he lost consciousness and he didn't have an issue getting back up either. Both were still out.

You obviously don't know how blood chokes work.

Lawler made the choke tighter/more effective when he put his arm up in the air, he basically helped Askren cut off blood flow to one of the arteries. Then when his arm fell and Herb rushed in Askren let up on the choke as well for a little and the bloodflow resumed and Lawler woke back up.

If you want to be one of those people asking why only his arm fell, it was the only thing that could fall, Lawler was on his knees and Askren was supporting his upper body due to the mechanics of a Bulldog choke, Lawler was behind Askren who was pulling up on his head while leaning back into Lawler so he couldn't fall forward or down.

serra tapping gsp!

serra was not as bad as some people think, but he had nothing for prime gsp
 
"Fluke" has to be one the most overused terms in the MMA community and 99% of the time it doesn't apply. A low-percentage technique thrown with intent and landing isn't a fluke. An underdog winning a fight isn't a fluke. A guy getting clobbered and making adjustments late into a fight to win by Hail Mary or otherwise isn't a fluke. Some outcome that makes you uncomfortable and you arbitrarily decide "shouldn't have happened" isn't a fluke.

I think there are exceedingly few true flukes in MMA and a lot of the ones I would list I'm on the fence about even then.

Randy being cut and unable to continue is entirely because he failed to properly defend / evade Vitor's legal strike though, which did land however grazing. For all we know had it connected flush it might've just KO'd Randy instead.

Disappointing ending sure, especially so with the knowledge that Randy will dominantly go 2-1 over Vitor across their trilogy and likely would've won this one too otherwise, but Vitor threw a legal punch and successfully hit Randy with it. That's Randy being beat.

Weidman/Silva 1, Weidman/Silva 2, Weidman/Hall. All weird and flukey and shit.

The first Silva Weidman wasn't flukey or weird. Silva's allure was built off of those antics, he built his greatness around being able to do that and it caught up to him.

Eh....he threw it like 8 or 9 times (?) - so it'd be like 1 in 8 or 9, not a million. Nahmean?

I still can't believe that shot landed. KZ literally had to be in the perfect position for that to land as a KO shot. I think if threw it another few hundred times it wouldn't land as a KO. It may land as a strike, but not as a KO from that angle.

*sigh* that isn't how statistics work man

If I play the lotto two times and win on the second time that doesn't mean I have a 50% chance of winning the lotto

I wouldn't say gsp serra 1 was a fluke.its not like conor aldo with 1 punch,serra kept tagging gsp with punches which gave him time to think

I’d argue that it was the perfect storm for Matt to win.

You have them fight 100 times. Matt wins just that one.

It’s all it took props to Matt. But the rematch showed that GSP is the far superior fighter. Anytime a lesser fighter beats a better fighter there’s a bit of fluke to it imo.

Throwing strikes and winning the lottery aren't the same thing, nor would the odds correlate.

Fun fact: 73.6% of statistics are made up on the spot. 1 in 8 or 9 is fucking accurate.

If you think I'm wrong, counter with facts. Conor is 3-4 when not cutting 30lbs to fight much smaller men. His best win in the division is getting destroyed in the D leagues by dudes not even in the top 200.

It still was a fluke win. How many other fights were stopped because a stitch seem on glove tore an eyelid.

And the stitch only touched Randy's eyelid because Vitor threw a punch that Randy didn't (fully) dodge. That's a successful strike by Vitor, and carries whatever consequences it brought.

It's a shitty ending, that doesn't reflect how they respectively matchup together. But Vitor rightfully won when he successfully hit Randy as Randy didn't successfully dodge it.
 
OSP vs Shogun. If that skateboard wasn't there, never would have happened.
