Rewatch What was the worst destruction of a champion ever?

[HavokHarmon]

Hard to pick between Jones/Shogun and Silva/Franklin.

Like you said though Holm/Rousey has got to be up there, Ronda didn’t look good at any point in that fight from what I remember.

 

[LiQuiD42]

These are my top three in no particular order: Jones/Shogun, Holm/Rousey, Cain/Lesnar

 

[Rationality]

Garbrandt Cruz belongs on the list somewhere.

 

[Doughie99]

I'd say Rousey losing to Holm (that was glorious)
plus also José Aldo losing to some little Irish dude (v disappointing).

 

[Bowel-forged Stool]

Mir Brock 2

Should have been a doctor stoppage due to horse shoe in Mir’s ass, or at least a no contest for being beat over the head with it

 

[613]

TJ vs Barao, Anderson vs Franklin, GSP vs Hughes, GSP vs Serra, Jones vs Shogun, Cain vs JDS 2, Penn vs Hughes

 

[HHJ]

GSP vs Hughes II

Hughes had been such a dominant champion, and although most felt at this point, he was on borrowed time holding that belt, to see him confusticated ever so profuciously....was a sight to behold.

 

[BOTTICELLI]

When Costa beat a former Champ in Jonny Hendricks- Destruction

 

[jsbx45]

Was Serra champ?

Dude...

 

[that Indian]

Garbrandt Cruz belongs on the list somewhere.

It was less of a destruction and more of a deconstruction. Garbrandt took apart Cruz' style, crumpled it up and threw it in the garbage like bad origami

 

[oski]

Was Serra champ?

 

[Sad Dad]

lol it wasn't one sided. Ilia face was already busted open with Volk jabs. Competitive. Iliad power was just too much though

 

[Dogpound2020]

Werdum vs Cain, TJ vs Barao, Couture vs Sylvia, Silva vs Franklin, Mackachev vs Oliviera, Holm vs Rousey, Nunes vs Tate, Rose vs Joanna

 

[Conor Strickland]

Esparza vs Namajunas 2? Esparza put a beating on Rose in the rematch. It was so bad I couldn't even watch the whole fight tbh

 

[Will the thrill]

thug rose sleeping Joanna to take the belt, and then beating her pillar to post in the rematch. Then after losing her belt coming back to take it from weili with another first round knockout.

Dillashaw over barao deserves an honorable mention, chuck beating Tito for the belt, and even Sean pitching a shutout against Izzy are all good examples. Come to think of it, this happens more often than you would imagine.

That made me laugh out loud and it's accurate too. Dancing in front of Dom? Wut?

GSP vs Hughes II

It was pure destructification not just of a legendicious fighter but the heraldization of a new MMA errata.

 

[davidlemonparty]

A fresh one not yet mentioned - Stipe over Werdum. He clowned him, literally. Werdum spent so much time doing that stupid face and ended up doing a real stupid faceplant and naruto running right at stipe.

Thats what I was sayin, bro! Matt Hughes had a family,and GSP could give two fucks about it.
Family??! FUCK YOUR FAMILY. I WANT MONEY! :: headkick ::

 

[Stump]

there are actually quite a few of these. Hmm.
