Does Daniel Kelly hold the UFC record

[EndlessCritic]

For most fights in a row being the underdog?

EDIT: Dan Henderson has been the dog in his last 11 UFC fights. He is the record holder.

Kelly is 6-1 in the UFC, and going into the Brunson fight, it will be his 8th straight fight as the underdog. What an incredible underdog story.

Other notables:

Leonardo Santos has 3 straight upsets
Chan Sung Jung has been the underdog in his last 4 fights, winning 3.
Robert Whittaker has been the underdog in 4 of his last 5 fights, and won all 5.
Matt Brown had 4 straight upsets en route to his fight against Robbie Lawler
Caraway has been the underdog in his last 6, winning 4.
Edit: Yoel Romero has been the underdog in his last 5, winning all 5.

Caraway is the GOAT because he banged Miesha

I would love to see Kelly beat Bisping.

It would provide a mental breakdown.

 

[qw3rty]

wow, some interesing stats TS
I remember when Alvey KTFO Kelly, I thought "this guy is gonna be cut soon"

 

[dildos]

lol daniel kelly is awesome.

he got so much grit and determination as a fighter.

i hope he whoops brunsons ass.

and i was very shocked when he beat rashad. that was a huge feather for his cap.

 

[Mikey Palangio]

Rashad Evans has no will to destroy. How do you step in an Octagon with a dude on one good leg and the other being held with duct tape, and you don't use the Jon Jones kicks to the knee attack?

See a weakness and exploit it. That is a fighter's second nature. A couple of heavy leg kicks to that bum knee, and Kelly would be crawling for the rest of the fight.

Kelly is NOT good, he just fought a dude who hasn't been a fighter in a very long time.

 

[Paynebringer]

I gotta admit I do admire Kelly's grit to take a beating and keep on coming, but his fun run ends Saturday Brunson gonna beat him into one of the Walking Dead..

 

[HDKIKR]

I remember seeing him on TUF and being embarrassed for him, his striking was so terrible and his style so awkward.

Even now, every fight I am completely shocked that he is not only still in the UFC, BUT ON A WINNING STREAK.

As an Aussie I should have more faith in ma boy...but I never do.

K1 Dan Kelly coming for that belt

K1 Dan Kelly coming for that belt

Hahaha well I would say 'no chance', but he'll probably prove me wrong again.

??? His fight on TUF was on the feet for under 10 seconds. The entire fight lasted 55 seconds.

 

[Duck Dodgers]

I couldn't believe this and it really deserves its own thread, but Yoel Romero has been the underdog in his last five fights.

 

[EndlessCritic]

I couldn't believe this and it really deserves its own thread, but Yoel Romero has been the underdog in his last six fights.

Wow how the fuck did I miss that. (Actually, it's only 5.... and the Kennedy and Jacare fights were practically even odds...)

 

[Duck Dodgers]

Wow how the fuck did I miss that. (Actually, it's only 5.)

Ah, you're right. Strange that he was a dog to Tavares but not Brunson.

Brunson didn't come into the UFC with any hype. He was the dog against leben.

Tavares was on a 5 fight win streak with a big win over larkin, who many had perceived as having been robbed against carmont.

 

[Khabib Fan]

How the F is Romero ever the underdog?!?

 

[asdf122345]

Brunson going to retire Daniel Kelly this saturday.

 

[Reason]

Rob v Dan for unified belt when Bisping retires this year. Straya bless.

 

[Dirge]

Pretty sure Randy holds the record... he was literally an underdog in almost every fight he was in.

 

[EndlessCritic]

How the F is Romero ever the underdog?!?

Because he kept getting progressively bigger steps up.

Tavares was on a 5 fight win streak including a huge win over Larkin.
Kennedy had just beaten Bisping.
Machida is Machida
Jacare is Jacare
Weidman is Weidman
