Naw
I hate to say it but...the first Spider KO
For me it was Keith Jardine getting KTFO by an unknown Houston Alexander the very next fight after beating Chuck. Dude was so offended the ufc gave him a "no name" and made that clear in all the pre fight video packages. Then he got destroyed. Or the fact that Brendan Schaub can tell people defeated Mirko Cro Cop by KO and not be talking about the video game.
Going into Wandy fight I had a bad feeling about it, Leben starts slow, Wandy does not, Leben is VERY hittable, Wandy likes to hit people a lot, Leben goes into a half zombie state when he's rocked where he's extremely dangerous, Wandy swarms like no one else if he even kind of thinks ur hurt. And that's basically what happened. Plus with Wandy's chin having evaporated by then you could see it coming looking back

Apparently youve never heard of the term "punchers chance". Silva spent a good majority of his career EATING blows that wouldve put most ppl down, that takes a toll on your chin. When he faced Leben he was well past his prime, and add the fact that Leben is heavy handed and well...it went down like that. A prime Silva wouldve eaten Lebens food no doubt tho.

God forgives, you are forgiven.
Eh wandy ended up taking punches from rich franklin who has pretty good power himself. It seems in some fights wandy can take shots then in others it's back to him having a glass chin.
Leben hits heavier tho and caught him clean.
But yeah Rich does hit hard...I know first hand cuz I sparred him in 04
That's definetely up there, especially with how easy it looked and Chael sonnen calling it beofrehand and talking chit afterwards. also there;s
Kimbo getting knocked out by a jab when people still bought into his myth, and the promoter paying the guy to stand up with Kimbo instead of take him down.
I thought Dan Henderson's performance against Daniel Cormier was pretty embarassing too, because of the fact that it was first fight off of trt and the whole world was waching to see how he looked. and he looked like exactly who he is, a 4x year old man too small for the light heavyweight class weith a predictable style that hasn't evolved in years.

To be fair to hendo he was severely undersized compared to Cormier. Just looking at then in the ring looked like fighters two divisions apart. Plus hendo just got tko'd quick as hell recently, that's more embarrassing than the cormier loss.
true, and i'm a big fan of Mousasi but he's not really known to have crazy ko power, and he finished someone known to have one of most legendary chins in the game.
the reason I say his FIRST fight back after losing TRT is becasue in my mind we were gonna find out how much that stuff really played an impact on his previous fights. and while I think cormier would have won either way, i don't think it would have looked like that.
