Whats the most gassed you've ever seen a fighter

Mayhem Miller against Bisping was pretty horrific

EDIT: Haha wow those 2 in the video were bad too, that ground and pound at the end was pitifully soft
 
Wes Shivers vs James McSweeney on TUF 10. That fight is exhibit A for why there shouldn't be another HW TUF. Wes was gassed about 45 seconds into the fight. It was horrible. Somehow, McSweeney couldn't put him away.
 
And the runner up is Rothwell against Hunt. I'll cut a little slack due to the fact it was at altitude but it was still awful. Nothing makes the sport look worse than a guy being gassed to shit before the first round is even over.

Rothwell went full Zombie mode.
 
"-weighing in at 84 kilos."
I've never heard someone announce the referee's weight before.

This, Melvin collapsed on Cyborg with a hammerfist when he knocked him down. I'm not sure he even hurt him with it but the ref stepped in and then Cyborg sat up and tried to hit Melvin with punches but they were just little taps to the chest. Didn't even know it was over he was so damn out of it from being tired and rocked.
 
Mark Coleman vs Maurice Smith, Carwin vs Brock and Fujita vs Kerr are the ones that really stick in my head. None of them are double-gassing..... just one guy gassing MEGA hard.

In all these fights, The guys that gassed didn't possess bad cardio as such, they just didn't pace themselves whatsoever. It's a different type of gassing if you basically attempt to fight at a sprinters pace. When you run out of energy doing that it takes so long to recover there's no coming back from it.


Coleman went full force for about 10-15 minutes in a 21 minute fight, and spend pretty much the rest of the fight in the hands on knees position.

Kerr and Carwin absolutely annihilated their opponent for about 5 minutes, then gassed so hard they could barely even move their bodies. Carwin just allowed Brock to take him down and submit him, and Kerr just laid there are let Fujita punch him in the back of the head for 10 minutes.

I think this is the fight I'm thinking of. I just remember the fighters throwing a few punches at each other at a time, then bending over and resting with their hands on their knees for a while before trying to engage again. I remember laughing aloud while I was watching it.
 
Bubba Jenkins last fight was pretty awful (skip to the last 30 seconds or so to see his gassed out tko)

 
I'd argue that Rolles Gracie vs Joey Beltran was even worse.

Rolles came close to collapsing due to extreme fatigue after 3 minutes of fighting.
I thought he was having a heart attack or something.
Looked like he could drop dead, face first on the canvas at any time.
 
Pretty much any of Bobby Lashley's fights. Especially vs Griggs. I thought he was going to die.

There use to be a amatuer boxing show called Toughman Contest. It pitted two men against each other in boxing, the catch was, you can't have had any amatuer experience before the competition. So it was usually two guys terrible at boxing throwing windmill punches and gassing. Occassionally you would have a talented guy (this is the competition in which Butterbean gained his fame, another famous competitor was Mr T. who won two tournaments and was spotted by Sylvester Stallone who would later ask him to star in Rocky III).

Anyway, one time I was was watching that show and there was a grad student and a businessman boxing. By the second 1 minute round, they both game out, hunched over with their hands on their knees and basically stayed like that for an entire minute as the ref repeatedly tried to convince them to fight.
