Whos had the biggest falls in the UFC?

[Peyow]

With Conor set to face Diaz again, someone that I cant see him beating, and therefore possibly set to record his second straight loss. It got me thinking about a few individuals who have had a great fall from grace so to speak. Houston Alexander, Thiago Alves, Anthony Pettis, Tyson Griffin just to name a few.... Who else has enjoyed a meteoric rise only to fall badly once they reached near the top of their divisions?

 

[FenoxSky]

Chuck's fall from grace was absolutely brutal.

 

[DS7]

Barão if he loses his next fight

 

[Bewareofdawg]

Ronda Rousey
Brock Lesnar
Anthony Pettis
Gray Maynard
Tim Sylvia
Johnny Hendricks

 

[PureLite]

Sage Northcutt

 

[NightwingBJJ]

Depending on how Anderson Silva does in his next couple fights, he may need to be on the list.

My dude Pettis I think RDA broke him, he hasn't been the same. I don't know wtf is wrong with him these days but he looked gun shy vs Barboza.

Sad, Silva was my guy. He was unbeatable at one point.

 

[Bartinho]

Only Ronda.

 

[Jesus5000]

I don't think we should really count guys who just got old.

Ricco Rodriguez

Miguel Torres. He was once considered P4P #1 the best fighter in the world, up there amidst hushed whispers with Fedor.

Now, nobody even remembered to mention him here except for me.

 

[Filthymaggot]

Thiago Silva. He was never the same after the machida fight.

And gray maynard

I think nobody has the fall like Anderson Silva, especially after failing a drug test.

He is old now. It happens.

Yeah. His fall is hard for me. He has been my favorite fighter since I was 16. I've wanted to see him retire since after he beat Sonnen at 148

Remember when he signed a 10 fight deal and Dana White almost bust a nut? I was actually against that idea because I knew that his fall was inevitable. Haa.

How do you feel about Pettis going to 145lbs?

 

[souvlaki]

Cody Mckenzie

 

[Char Jawz]

Ken Shamrock's downfall since 2000 has been pretty bad...and still trending downward. lol

 

[Glove]

B.J. Penn

 

[datfnguy]

How has nobody mentioned Anderson Silva from GOAT to GATE-keeper.
Then I would say Chuck Liddell. Pettis is doing pretty well for himself as well.
