Who was your biggest UFC bust?

Phil Davis. Seemed to have all the physical tools, beat some huge names (Glover, Machida, Little Nog, Gustafson) but washed out of UFC.

He’s done OK in Bellator, but disappointing overall.

He didn't wash out of the UFC and he would be a guaranteed top 5 if he were still there.

Sokoudjou actually did win a fight, he was 1-2 in the UFC, he beat Kaz Nakamura.

I think KJ Noons was already losing from his Strikeforce days, he was more an Elite XC guy.

Josh Thompson's a good one though, he was the guy right behind Gilbert Melendez in those Strikeforce days.

Thompson doesn't get enough credit honestly. People love to shit on him and say how bad he is at the Bellator desk (Which I don't think he is as bad as people say) but he beat Melendez in his prime and was the only guy to TKO Nate Diaz.

She just had them removed because one was leaking inside of her and she got crazy sick from it.
True story.

Oh damn I didn't know that. She's really been through a lot in the past few years.

Thomson gets hate because he's a bit of an airhead on his podcast, but he was fuckin tough as nails.
 
Houston Alexander looked unstoppable when he took out Jardine and then he fizzled away. I was so excited to hear he'd be "welcoming" Kimbo to his first legitimate UFC bout. I expected him 5o come out like he did against Jardine, and I was so badly mistaken that I gave up on him, as a fighter.
 
Thomas Almeida.

Dude was like 20-0, almost all finishes. Knocking fools left and right in the regional scene, blasted through the first UFC fights then Cody KTFO him and stole his soul. Been an empty shell since then, I don't even know if he is still fighting anymore.
 
I was excited to see Jason Miller get a second well deserved chance in the UFC aswell. When he lost to Dollaway and Bisping I felt terrible for the guy especially after seeing how much getting cut a second time completely fucked up his mind.

It's crazy he didn't get KO'd during his regional run as his chin was never that great and he would bang. I had him destroying Cody and he's looked horrible ever since.
 
Crocop and Askren easily. I'd like to say Gomi but he was absolutely washed by the time he was signed.
 
Paulo Thiago is another good one.

Mirko Cro Cop getting Cro Cop'd by Gonzaga made me enthusiastic to see what his run in the UFC would look like.

Paul Daley losing his cool and getting sacked.

Travis Browne's complete demise from Edmen's shitty coaching.

Todd Duffee looked like the next HW champ with his destruction of Tim Hauge and then he just turned into dog shit.

Browne's demise was so sad and it's funny cause he lost his great footwork working with a boxing coach when boxers should have great footwork lol
