Who had the most impressive UFC debut?

[IndyCovaHart]

I don't think there is a better answer than Anderson.

 

[MrMightyMouse]

Good call.

Royce...Who else

 

[NaughtyBoy]

Anderson is a good call. Special mention to Conor.

 

[karate n stuff]

Only one silly poster atta time.

Didn't mean to overwhelm ya, bud

 

[007]

Anderson Silva has my vote

 

[Bewareofdawg]

There can only be one....

If you were around to experience this, it was fucking unbelievable when this guy entered the UFC and began the takeover.

 

[Bewareofdawg]

Actually, I just posted Anderson.

But the right answer is Forrest Griffin.

That’s a good one most of us forget. Jardine was no world beater, but most of thought he was above fighting a new no-name guy. Jardine thought so as well, and got his shit knocked out... violently.

I remember thinking to myself, "Holy shit... I haven't seen that kind of power and brutality since Tank Abbott."

I was looking forward to more violence.

NY Bad Ass
not sure if UFC debut

One of the greatest KOs in UFC history. Such a shame it's never talked about because it comes from Baroni.

 

[Fahrenheit1221]

anderson silva killing 15-1 leben in 50 seconds was impressive. lauzon also killed pulver in a similar time frame in his debut

Came here to suggest Lauzon.

 

[560ti]

Good call.

I was watching that card a few weeks ago on fightpass. It was a small card (only 9 fights )but it had two fighters who went on to win the title and 4 fighters who went on to fight for the title (a ton of future stars on that card).

 

[HHJ]

Yes he was. His best win was over the ghost of Wanderlei Silva. WEC MW belt doesn't really mean much when you consider how quickly WEC got rid of their upper weight classes (because the talent pool wasn't there). Also UFC MW division was as shallow as it ever was at the time Silva beat Leben.

Mid tier is being kind.

 

[dleehscdd]

I gotta go with Anderson, gave one of the best ass whooping's I've seen in MMA.

 

[ortizgnp]

Rory had one fight before this but his fight versus a beast like Condit.. He impressed the shit out of me.

[Mammothman]

Silva, McGregor, Overeem, JDS, Cyborg also Ronda vs Carmouche was a great fight as well
