Which fighters keep losing the same way and never improve it?

[RockyLockridge]

thats the thing about pettis, the book on how to beat him was written early on

 

[Blastbeat]

Michael Chiesa doesnt seem to know how to get out of a D'arce choke. he has been subbed multiple times with that technique. in fact, i think Jorge Masvidal's only UFC submission came when he D'arced Chiesa

 

[Bouboumaster]

Cody No Love with his chin exposed

 

[prime_lobov]

All of Jon Jones losses are via DQ for 12-6 elbows

 

[arcadeperfect]

That's why it's a weakness. It's hard for people in general to improve their worst attribute. Think of it like school subjects, where most people have that 1 subject that they sucked at no matter how hard they studied. Same thing applies to fighting/athletics.

 

[MustangSally]

Brian Ortega and Paul Craig are basically human punch bags who rely on pulling off hail Mary submissions

 

[MySDName]

Luke Rockhold, and it's wonderful.

 

[TryggeTryggvar]

Omalley? He did even worse in the rematch, and I dont see him beating a good pressure wrestler ever.

 

[Ayreon]

Tony Ferguson by blocking all the punches with his face

Marvin Vettori by believing he can boxe, leaving the grappling route that brought him up the ranking

 

[don't ask]

Cody No Love with his chin exposed

And his dirty underwears.

Na Liang.

She usually wins round 1, but if she doesn't finish it then she almost always gasses completely and loses.

She's 21-8 and in those 29 fights she only just won her second fight outside of the 1st round haha. Only been to a 3rd round 3 times and a decision just one time and she lost that.

Great fighter haha.

hahaha I love your knowledge of people I've never heard of. I'm always discovering fun new fighters to follow because of you.

Haha that's awesome. Go watch her UFC debut against Carnelossi.

It was the very first of the first card back with crowds after COVID. Crowd was already pumped up and Liang just comes out in her usual berserker mode and drops Carnelossi with a jab in like 10 seconds. Place went wild that whole round lol. She blew so much energy during that round that Song Yadong had to pick her up and carry her to the corner. He wasn't even part of her team either. She couldn't get her own people in or something and he was there so just ended up filling in haha.

She's like The OCTOPUS but in MMA and with only 5 mins of cardio lol.

It was hilarious because commentary were always going on about how out of all the Chinese fighters at the newly built performance institute, Liang was the top performer overall. Like, she was way ahead of anyone else in all the tests and everything. I guess they must have tested them all for 1 round only hahaha.

She somehow finished Tiffany Teo in the third round in her last fight, which was crazy considering Tiffany is probably better than anyone she's ever faced, UFC comp included lol. For her to do it in the 3rd was completely unexpected haha.

 

[Why did you]

Anthony rumble Johnson
Rip

 

[fedoriswar37]

Fedor being tkod by a slight breeze was a tough one to see him get caught in

 

[WildShrimper]

Derrick Lewis (doesn't give a fuck also)

JDS getting put against the cage

Sean Strickland

Conor was basically the same fighter for all his ufc career too.

JDS is a good one, Cormier was actually exasperated during commentary and was asking why he still does that.

 

[markantony20]

Need to preface this by saying I love Aldo he’s great but there’s been a blue print set for beating him by shutting him down against the cage.

Volk, Merab, and Mario have all used this method.

 

[Koala]

Good thread
Shahbazyan gassing out and then being ground and pounded in the late second round or the third round
Derek Brunson bumrushing headfirst and getting caught

I've been thinking about this since you posted it. I'm not sure I agree, but am having trouble coming up with examples other than Gane's takedown defense. Do you think they're all weaknesses, that would be hard to improve for one reason or another, or do you think there are also people who just don't want to put the work into training or changing their style?

Your comment has me wondering if a person can rise to their top with their instinctive style or if there's a certain level where you need to start evolving it.

Andrew Sanchez would win two 10-7 rounds against me, but, even though I can't even throw a punch, I know I'd knock him out in round 3.

I had to look up Andrew and holy! i had no idea he always gets finished in the 3rd round every time
