Which Striker you had high hopes for turned out to be a bust?

[HHJ]

Some fighters come in with flashy or dangerous striking, and you think damn this guy is a PROBLEM

but they actually werent a problem, and didnt get close to a belt.

I never in my life would have foreseen Gokhan Saki getting KO by Rountree. I presumed his world class striking would at least make him super dangerous for anyone on the feet, but even during his first fight in the UFC, Saki looked like he needed to return to kickboxing. One of the biggest personal disappointments I've had as a fan.

He was already busted up from like a 100 KB fights and sometimes people just dont translate well to MMA. Look at what happened to Stefan Leko.

For sure though, I was definitley dissapointed too.

gohan Saki

Professor x got bodied by drew mcfedries

Crocop was supposed to be better

Crocop doesnt count, he had a great MMA career, and did actually get a shot at Fedor's belt.

His UFC run was dissapointing but he'd already fought for years in MMA before that at the highest levels.

Houston Alexander was supposed to be for real

Yeah man

Even after the loss to Thiago he could have bounced back, but that Kimbo fight was an atrocity.

I thought you would have a better striking game HHJ, but you got smashed by Soa Palelei and he made it look easy LOL.

Take care of those jimmies.

Cro Cop was supposed to come in and be what Poatan is today.

Soa Palelei lost to Choi Mu Bae.

He would be no problem for me.

Yeah but he wasnt a Never Was.

He was a top fighter for years an years

 

[jsbx45]

In all reality though, with respect @HHJ, one of the best answers to this question is Dan Hardy. Dude got rolled.

 

[fortheo]

Rashid magomedov. I thought he was a really slick striker with great tdd and would be top 10, especially after he made gilbert burns cry. Unfortunately he was far too patient for his own good and couldn't stop a wall and stall gameplan from dariush.

Man when he got subbed by Chris Lytle.....

Lol. I'll give you really good odds in a rematch but you lost the first one.
