10 UFC Fighters Who Lost Their Souls After Tough Losses

Tony Fergus is a nano an animal I think he's the scariest guy 155 in my word I agree in my world because you can't get enough yeah, that cowboy fight scared me he, what the cowboy looked like Tony had bricks in his gloves, yes, his face was all broken. Tony didn't look like he had a scratch and Tony wasn't even tired. Tony posted a meme. I feel like a couple of days ago he showed the last seven of him. Yes, they are all up as if. everyone fell off the wagon, yes, regardless of what era you're looking at, the mixed martial arts industry was always rich with vivid talents and warriors animated to the core of

their

bones who entered the octagon with a motto of kill or die and each of them Time tries to make the best impression with

their

performances, however, over time, even the most durable athletes and those who were absolutely unbeatable in the eyes of fans begin to go downhill and lose and Today we are going to talk about those cases, please don't do it.

Don't forget to like the comments with four words and subscribe to the channel. Here we go, number one Dan Hooker. I'm announcing my next wife, Dustin Poirier. I'll break your face soon. Meet me in New Zealand in 2020. End with you for a long time Dan Hooker had great potential for a successful career in the best league in the world after moving to the lightweight category, the New Zealander put in eye-catching performances and with mixed success approached the coveted top five last at the time. He

lost

to Edson Babosa via TKO on December 15, 2018 and ultimately led the young Prospect to a three-fight winning streak and that notable exit off the diamond for the contender's fight, to the surprise of many people, the matchmakers liked the idea and organized this intriguing fight. as the main event at UFC on ESPN 12 on June 27, 2020.

As you remember, Dustin beat the up-and-coming guy with a big lead and earned a unanimous decision victory in dominant fashion, treat me, hey, okay, you'll be on the right. The track is still working, look at this, it is working well, apart from beautiful health. Poirier also took Hooker's heart and beat him so badly that the New Zealander

lost

all of his potential and desire to win, which accompanied him throughout his career. race Hello everyone, I just returned to the hotel with the protagonists receiving a signal. I was discharged from the hospital. Everything's fine, just a couple of stitches in the eye, but hey, that's the game we play, don't worry, it's just a little setback and me.

We'll be back after a devastating loss to Diamond and Hooker had the opportunity to face Michael Chandler, who transitioned from Bellator and was looking to reach the top of the lightweight division. In the fight itself you could see how confused and maybe even scared the fighter was. I see that the iron one finished off the New Zealander by technical knockout already in the middle of the first round. The interesting thing is that Chandler became the first fighter to knock out and hooked with a direct punch to the jaw before the New Zealander could even receive the bombs. more destructive after that, Dan Hooker tried to recover and beat Nazareth Hack Perez by unanimous decision at UFC 266.

It seemed that Hooker would soon return to previous positions, however, he then had two more stoppage

losses

against Islam Macachev and Arnold Allen, The most recent performance by a once promising prospect occurred on November 12 at UFC 281 in that fight, Hooker managed to stop Claudio Poies in the second round, however, his previous performances and his age speak for themselves, it is Sad to admit it, but Hookah will do it. not going back to the previous level number two Ben Askren hey Dana is that really the best you have, bring them baby the situation with Ben Asgren is similar but still a little different most of the American wrestler's professional career took place within the walls from several local leagues where Frankly Speaking opponents were significantly inferior to the best athletes of the best league in the world, however, it is worth noting that from February 2009 to 2019, Ben Asquin performed quite successfully and remained undefeated Furthermore, the only reason Asgren found himself in the new organization is due to a transfer with another fighter.

Ben's debut presentation took place on March 2, 2019 at UFC 235. They will want to welcome him to the new place. Robbie was Lawler already a veteran of this sport with some residue of his former Berserker power, good Lola was mercilessly beating a former One FC fighter for half a round in one of the sequences, even knocking out Ashgren with a powerful throw and then knocking him out. He woke up trying to finish the job, although with a squeal he was asked who won the fight due to the referee's mistake, who thought that Robbie had fallen asleep due to a bulldog choke, in fact, it became clear that Asgren was not strong enough. good to face the opposition of the best league in the world.

The following fights only made his situation worse, however. It was the fight with Street Jesus that crushed Asgren's ego. This guy could do anything to me. It is totally impossible. I will do whatever I want with this person. I will dominate her, I will humiliate her and when I grab George even though he had only been there for two months. my memory prayer of MMA without fights that's how I felt about him, I just saw him right now and I dressed him like a man and he gets all nervous and can't stimulate the moment you start talking to him, I'm sure he'll leave to home.

Think of something to say in a few posts and then we'll repost it when we're here. Live In the Flesh has nothing to say, you know, and it's not personal to me, it's always business, but I'm happy to be able to pop this guy in the face. and I get paid for a little happier than most of the time. I could tell you that. Much happier than most of the time, as you remember, it all ended after five seconds with a deep knockout. George broke every possible sense in Benin. I saw some reviews. People say The blows weren't really necessary maybe they were super necessary Why were they necessary?

What do you mean why weren't they needed? Because he was already knocked out at that moment, but the referee had not removed me and my job is to hit someone until the referee removes me so I would say to those people that maybe they don't see them and maybe they go back to football and a loss After defeating Damián Maya by submission choke in the third round, they finally put aspirin in a retirement home after finishing his career. The American managed to dig the hole even deeper and went into boxing, where he lost to Jake Paul by knockout number three, Cody Garbrandt, but now I'm the champion.

I'm the

tough

guy in my division, so I make the decisions in Cody Garbrandt's career. It looks a lot like the American rollercoaster ride after a quick rise to the top, there was an even quicker fall to the bottom in August 2016, Young no love was on a 10-fight winning streak without

losses

, half of These victories were won in local promotions, the rest in the best league in the world, and only one of the fights in his history went to decision. In other words, at that time, Cody Garbrandt fit perfectly to be the main contender for the championship in December. .

On the 30th, in the co-main event of the evening at UFC 207, American Prospect defeated one of the best

fighters

, Dominic Cruz, and became the undisputed bantamweight champion. Already at the age of 25, he achieved the dream of every representative of mixed martial arts in the fighting industry without exaggeration, it seemed that such a brilliant beginning would continue in the same way, however that fire went out as quickly as the first titled events lit up. against TJ Dillashaw who no love clearly didn't like resulted in a knockout already in the second round, you know how to talk to TJ, you know he defended himself, uh, you know if I'm losing his title and he was a hungry man, but I'm still being the best fighter there and I will prove it in the rematch, an attempt to avenge the first loss of his career, led to a first round TKO after these two fights.

Cody garbrandt was never the same in March 2019, the American fighter lost to Pedro Muñoz and also in the first round his chin could not support the weight. The longer shots and mental state also left a lot to be desired. The following fight with Rafael Asunsal gave some hope for his return, but subsequent losses to Rob Font and Kaikara France only reaffirmed our speculations and left no doubt, thus the professional record. from a young and talented former champion went from 11-0 to 12-5, so the chances of this guy coming back more or less adequate are extremely low. #4 Ronda Rousey beats this girl so thoroughly that there are no future girls to mess with my family.

To get a quicker title shot, you know, pick me all you want, but leave them out of this and that's what I really want to achieve. Ronda Rousey is one of the most successful women in the history of mixed martial arts, in fact, the American one. She was relatively famous before performing in MMA, she had time to make a name for herself as a participant in the 2008 Olympic Games in Judo, where she won the bronze medal. Ronda began her fighting career in 2011. For a while, the American performed in Strike Force and after it was closed, she moved to the UFC, where she achieved most of her success in mid-2015.

Rousey was literally in the Top of the world. The Americans achieved finishes in all of their 13 fights, 12 submissions and one knockout on top of that. Ronda Rousey was the UFC bantamweight champion with six title defenses and if you add the fact that only one of her fights lasted more than one round, while the last three fights lasted 64 seconds total, that raised the question, Can anyone beat this machine? He firmly believed in his own invincibility, while his public opinion only increased his ego, however, everything changed in November 2015. The next contender against Holly Holm, who was a boxing champion in the past, turned out to be Kryptonite herself for the Undefeated Champion.

Ronda's arrogance and blatant underestimation of her opponent began a long time ago, even before the fight was organized. Rousey always tried to convince home as if she convinced herself that she had no chance of winning and before the actual fight she was already in the octagon. He refused to touch her gloves with her, as a result, he paid a huge price for her overconfidence at the beginning of the second round. Holly Holmes stopped Rousey with a devastating technical knockout and the biggest damage was to her ego. This shock had a great impact on the future. The life of the American, her last fight on December 30, 2016, was even shorter, it all ended in the first minute of the first round, after which Ronda Rousey could not stand it and announced her retirement, she finally had to deal with a severe mental laceration. she and Suicidal Thoughts, however, she eventually moved on to professional wrestling, where she continues to perform to this day.

I don't even think she wants to fight. I mean, I think at a certain point you have enough money in the bank, you have enough notoriety. and fame and she has many aspirations outside of the sport now she is married who knows maybe she wants to start a family you are right number five Luke Rockhold the only thing that matters to me is that I have the belt and I have the W and the new The fighting path of Luke Rockhold could very well have his own place among the greatest representatives of MMA in the best promotion in the world if it were not for Michael Beasping.

I saw us very close to the UFC who will remain anonymous and gave me some information. Luke says that he is on a different level than everyone else and that he is by far the best fighter and can destroy anyone and this and that and the other well if that's the case then it turns out he's a liar because the guy It has a little vagina inside. him because he turned down uh Ronaldo Jacaré whatever his name is, he turned down the fight I didn't turn down this fight two weeks two days two hours I don't care, I'll fight anyone anytime anywhere, certainly this is Luke's championship ambition Rockhold although his lack of ability to promote fights was always compensated by persistent training and skills in the cage, in December 2015, the American fighter achieved his dream and became the UFC middleweight champion.

He faced many worthy opponents in his path, including the Earl himself and Rockhold. I beat them all quite convincingly, but when Luke's first Total Defense came and the Brit expressed his desire to intervene at short notice and fight him a second time, everything went wrong starting with the press conference where Beast verbally destroyed the champion. and ending with a fight itself when the confused American was knocked out in the first round, that was the moment when Luke Rockhold's career started to go downhill after the second fight with Michael Bisping, the American fighter was no longer the himself, the only victory he obtained.

It was in September 2017 against David Branch, however, after that he went on a losing streak, nothing helped Luke, neither the new training methods nor the change of weight class nor a three-year break. The last appearance ofLuke took place in October 2020. When he faced Polo Costa, the fight itself was quite exciting, but not because of Rockhold's dominance or skills that he was known for in the past. Luke simply got older, which is why he announced his retirement in post-fight interview number six, Marlon Morares. First of all, guys, more and more and that's what it is if Dana and Shelby think they want to race again.

Now I'm up for a big fight, you know, uh, I only get a chance to fight for the belt if you think I will. He deserves a rematch. I will give you a mandate immediately. We will fight again. Marlon Morares is a

tough

Brazilian who terrorized the bantamweight division of the best league in the world for a long time or longer, so this guy constantly treated fans to eye-catching highlights in the promotion. Called wsof, which actually caught the attention of the UFC matchmakers in the first place, despite a rather unsuccessful debut, the Brazilian

fighters

soon went on to go on a four-match winning streak, including the victory over the current champion against Al Jermaine Sterling, it seemed like the guy could be recognized as the new version of José Aldo and that he was ready for a title shot as the number one contender.

Mora went straight for Henry Sahudo who was the two-time champion at that time. By that time the champion had already defeated TJ Dillashaw and was about to give him the opportunity for revenge, however the latter's disqualification changed the initial plans and the Brazilian got Their opportunity the fighters met on June 8, 2019 in the main event of the evening at UFC 238, as history has taught us, that moment marked the beginning of a rapid and irrevocable decline in Marlon Mores' professional career after the defeat. of Tikero in the title fight, the Brazilian prospect wanted to get back into the win column, he faced the king of Rio and managed to capture the victory in a very close fight even though it was not easy, however, when he had a notorious streak of stoppage losses in the first round went first to Corey Sanhagen, then to Rob Font Marab Davalisvili and finally to Song Yadong.

The last fight occurred on March 12, 2022 and after four consecutive losses, Morales decided to resign and left the UFC announcing his retirement a couple of months later. Marlon thought he was too soon to leave and debuted in the PFL season finale on November 25. His compatriot Shaman Mararez knocked him out by technical knockout at the beginning of the third round. I feel sorry for this guy, he had all the potential to be successful and brilliant. career, but a single loss crushed everything in the blink of an eye, number seven, Alexander Gustafson, like the one you had, like one of the most spectacular fights with Jon Jones, I mean, until the end, it's the closest possible and when you come out of a fight like that where you almost won the title against the best of all time, what is that feeling like and where do you go from there?

Oh, you know it was hard, it was really hard because you know everyone was like, are you going to win this? fight winning this fight you had three races against him you won in this fight like he felt like you said he wasn't he was just right there on the goal line. You know I didn't really pass that goal. night at all um I just felt like that uh it was hard it was hard it seems that the career of one of the former best light heavyweights on the planet Alexander Gustafson finally came to an end and not long ago, in December 2018, the Swede fought for championship even though he lost to Jon Jones via three-round knockout, but first things first, in September 2013, Molar faced Jon Jones at UFC 165.

That night he had the best performance possible and maybe even won the fight in At least that's what fans believe to this day, but in reality Bones won by unanimous decision and defended his title in a clash so close that it also took a lot of the Swede's health and he couldn't help but have a impact on his mental state after the victory over Jimmy Manure in March 2014, Gustafson returned to winning ways and in fact looked like he still had it, but the following clash with Anthony Johnson, where Mauler lost Ytko in the first round, had an even greater effect in his status as eighth.

Months later, Alexander finally got his second title shot, sharing the cage with Daniel Cormier in the main event of the night at UFC 192 and again history repeated itself, losing to DC in an extremely close fight, albeit via split decision. , even two subsequent victories over Jan Blakovich and Glover Tashira did not change this situation as history has taught us that even Jon Jones defeated Mauler by knockout in three rounds. At that time, Mauler was just a shadow of who he once was. The last episode especially affected a once-Elite light heavyweight. The Swedish fighter retired and returned numerous times only to lose even faster with each fight.

Anthony Smith needed 22 minutes to do the job, Fabricia Warden two and a half minutes and Nikita Krillov only one minute and seven seconds, unfortunately, but the current situation indicated it. Only one thing is the end of Alexander Gustavson's career because the Swedish fighter is already 36 years old and there is no chance that he can overcome such a severe decline. Yes, lately there have been many examples when even older fighters continued to perform successfully, but something tells us that the Vikings case is not one of them, the defeat in the first fight with Jon Jones affected him very much, which is very Sadly, however, the most devastating blow for him was the realization that he was literally one step away from achieving the most coveted dream of his life. and in the end he did not succeed, the Mauler could not show his best in the following title opportunities and headed into the sunset with a losing streak number eight, José Aldo, yes, that is the emotional side of the fight, like the emotional side of defeats. like when you see guys crying in their locker room and you remember the hardest one for me was Aldo after McGregor knocked him out and he was in his locker room crying like damn that guy was, like we mentioned in one of the recent videos. about the best fighters in history José Aldo's professional career can rightfully be recognized as one of the best, that guy dominated in the best league in the world for more than 10 years and held the championship every athlete knew the name of the king of Rio and without knowing it He trembled in his presence, the Brazilian featherweight terrorized the entire division for a long time and these are not just words, things went their way until an Irishman entered the game, have you spoken to this guy of course Have I spoken to him?

I have talked to him many times but he doesn't speak English so I looked him straight in the eyes and said, which means you will die in his eyes, his eyes filled with tears and that was it, he left, we left and that's it, of course, wait. Can you say it once again after the title fight with Conor McGregor and UFC 194 and those 13 seconds, José Aldo finally could not return to the previous level and the overconfident and arrogant aura of the notorious took the soul of the king of Rio and he changed it without a doubt from that Max Holloway also added fuel to the fire he stopped the Brazilian by technical knockout twice since then José began to perform with mixed success until he finally decided to retire after his loss to murab develishvili in August 2022 fortunately.

Over time Aldo managed to recalibrate and had a successful debut in professional boxing but the fact remains the same after the fight with Connor he lost his soul and began to decline number nine Tony Ferguson your ass the meat don't do it I will do it son of a I'll give you a good beating any day the Mexican El Cucuy or just a boogeyman Tony Ferguson can rightly be recognized as one of the most talented and vivid artists, as well as one of the most unlucky in just one year of the career of The American with Mexican roots took a 180 degree turn in May 2020 Tony was on a 12-match winning streak and had not lost in almost eight years.

He was supposed to have his fifth attempt to fight Habib Nurmagomedov for that title, however, plans were interfered with the pandemic, the Dagestani's refusal to fight and Justin Gaichi, who agreed to intervene on short notice for the once great butcher. of the best league in the world, it all resulted in a brutal beating and a fifth round TKO, the loss to Highlight could be attributed to overconfidence, two weight cuts in a short period of time and the fact that Tony He trained for a different opponent with a completely different fighting style, but the following defeats in the fight with Charles Oliveira and Neil de Rouge clearly showed that Tony Ferguson was in a crisis.

As he lost those fights without a chance, the only thing that the bloodthirsty Cucuy had left was his willpower that did not let him tap due to the submissions that in fact he looked even more miserable because it seemed that a little more and Tony would simply break his hand or the leg, a small fraction of Hope shone in the first round with Michael Chandler, however, it was less from the former Tony than from the iron systematic errors that Tony took advantage of adequately, but all doubts finally disappeared when Cucuy decided Let's go back to welterweight , we lost to guillotine fighting veteran Nate Diaz in the fourth round.

Now it is finally clear that Tony Ferguson will never again be a contender or even competitive. Why do we feel so much human pity for Ferguson right now? The whole situation because he most likely wasted his father's time, not his opponents or himself. Tony is 39 years old right now, at that age, only a few athletes compete in lightweight classes where speed, endurance and reaction are very essential factors. In fact, the UFC sacrificed Ferguson for the good. of McGregor and Habib no one talked to get a title fight with everyone Fight Win Street here is in the making What did I do wrong?

What did I do wrong? I stepped on someone's toes. I speak for myself. I was so bad, right? It is funny. I'm number 10, Rory McDonald and you mentioned another fight that we've all seen as fans and I knew when I saw him in Bellator that he wasn't the same guy anymore, that's Rory McDonald, yes, and now he's in the PFL looking for answers. They are no longer there August 13, 2022 Rory McDonald lost in the semi-finals of the pfl Grand Prix with a prize of 1 million dollars, he was defeated by technical knockout in the first round by Delano Taylor, who intervened on short notice and Just after McDonald left the sport of wrestling, Rory could not become UFC champion.

The only thing he achieved was to snatch the title in Bellator. However, it was he who participated in the fight that went down in the world history of all mixed martial arts. Many recognize his rematch with Robbie Lawler not only the best fight of 2015 but of all time they fought on the same card with Conor McGregor who has just arrived in the best league in the world and managed to eclipse the Irishman the first fight between McDonald and Lawler took place In 2013, in a three round format, Robbie won by split decision, while Rory went back to the drawing board and began a new journey towards the second tide opportunity coming his way.

McDonald got rid of Damien Meyer, Tyron Woodley and Tarik Saverdeen to become number one. Title contender and on July 11, 2015 in the co-main event of the night at UFC 189 the promotions set up a rematch it was one of those fights where you really felt the heat of the battle it didn't take long to think it was just ours reaction and letting your training come to light was a crazy experience, but that's why I feel like I gained so much composure in that fight because it was the craziest fight I've ever been in. The athletes fought until that Bitter End.

They gave everything they had, including their heart and will, this fight will forever go down in history as one of the most impressive and spectacular wars inside the octagon. He gave us as many emotions at the time during his first observation as he took the health and life from Rory I. I remember him being intense. I remember his energy. It was like he wanted to kill me. I remember when he looked at me. I've seen it in other fights. He looks at people like that and intimidates them, but I don't like being intimidated. people even though they had gassed me and all I wanted to do was sit on that bench uh, I wasn't going to let him just walk all over me, you know, like stare at me and make me sit on a bench like that.

I was going to stay there as long as it took until the referee separated him and that's what I did. I was on my way back to turn. I saw him doing that to me, so I turned around with all the energy I had. give it back immediately the guys put on the show they gave it their all and put on such a show that it's unlikely anyone will top it in the near future it's a shame that Rory McDonnell started to gradually decline, but if you think about it, it might not be the other way around, Not many people can still be themselves after going through the same things that guy had to go through there.
