What's the worst way to lose a fight?

Ragdolled/sub for me. You spend all that time in the gym working on your wrestling and u still get ragdolled in 2 mins that's just embarrassing. To top it off u still got to pay your coaches when it was thier job to prepare u that for shit lol

Contrary to popular belief liver shot is no shame. Anyone who's been hit there hard knows that it's a fucking neurological shut down.

I'm guessing tapping to strikes? GSP fans?

Hehehehehehehehehehe
 
I feel.like the words "he broke" or "mentally broke" get thrown around too much, or often tend to be improperly applied to just a guy who is gassed out... however

Khabib is the clearest example of a fighter whose opponents looked like they were overwhelmed, panicked and clearly had no answer. And he did that to elite guys.

By the time he was champ he had improved his submission threat to mercifully offer a way out, but on the way to the title he just beat the stuffing out of guys. Edson Barbosa and Michael Johnson come to mind. Khabib trash talking while mauling guys was something to see.
"You know I deserve this shot, you know this."

That's gotta be traumatic when the guy whooping your ass is giving you a lecture mid whooping.

I had a three year stretch in amateur MMA in which I won two fights. I'm undefeated.

And I can tell you that cardio is absolutely the most important thing. I had to pay three goddamn coaches and my own cardio conditioning was the primary contributing factor. In both fights it all came down to me being able to outlast the other in terms of heart rate. I have a fear of not having enough stamina.

That is why I won

My heart sincerely bleeds for anyone who's gassed in the middle of a fight. As Michael Bisping said there is nothing lonelier. It's true
 
Physically, probably ragdolled and gnped for rounds, 10/8 rounds, that eventually lead to referee stoppage. Sub does not seem that bad when raggdolled, as being gnped over and over again while being controlled like a child.

But competition wise, something like Sonnen loss against Silva 1, so close to be a champ...Nothing comes close to that, that I can remember.
 
I gotta say body shot. Your still aware and concisely quitting after a single shot.
 
Probably a career ending injury like Cyborg Santos.
 
I’d think a prolonged beating would be worse for the Brain then a ko …. Deaths in boxing are rarely from one big strike
 
I think being up on the scorecards and then losing in the last 30 seconds or so. Shit like TKZ vs Yair, Glover vs Jiri. painful.
 
Maybe breaking someone's spirit by 50-40 him?
Let's say something like Max/Kattar or Max/Ortega but even more.
 
Worst way would be if your winning the entire fight only to get caught by something in the last minute of the last round.

Or another would be getting KO'd by a guy who is known only for grappling or having no power.

The other worst way would be getting disqualified for something you did not do. Like when guys fake being kicked to the nuts when it was infact no where near. Or guys thinking they were eye poked when it was actually a punch.

Also I think if you were behind the entire fight and then you finally score a knockdown and you have the guy almost finished but then you run out of time and end up still losing the decision. We have seen this happen before.
 
Not in terms of damage, but for embarrassment: tapping to a bad position on the ground with no threat of a submission. I saw it happen twice in the early days of the UFC:

1) Art Jimmerson vs. Royce in UFC 1. I'll give Art a pass because he was a boxer in 1993 with no clue how to grapple. And he didn't want to risk an arm or leg injury since he was still actively boxing.

2) Remco Pardoel vs. Marco Ruas. I can't give Remco a pass because he had a judo and traditional JJ background. He also trained in Brazil with BJJ guys before this fight.

I'm not sure if it's happened since the Ruas vs. Remco in 1995, at least in a major org.
