chadp -Kinda forgot about that, I agreeAaron Becker -au contraire, he fulfilled his hype very quickly. And big part of his last two performances were his disease.Arlovskis Chin - I have no idea how Brock lesnar is mentioned in this thread twice already.According to his athleticism and credentials he should still be the hwt champ
epwar -Remember the hype for Shields pre-GSP!
Michael Bisping
Mayhem Miller
Jonathan Brookins
Jake Shields
Akiyama
Roger Huerta
Steve Perry - Dave TerrellCan't believe this David Terrell thread made it to page 2 before David Terrell was mentioned
Renato Verrisimo (sp)
Kit Cope
RJJH -Wat?
you could make an arguement for BJ Penn.
even though he is one of my favorite fighters I dont think he came close to his apex
I don't think you can make that argument at all. BJ Penn most definitely lived up to the hype. If anything, you could make an argument that he never truly reached his maximum potential. But to say a two division champ never lived up to the hype is just ludicrous.
Allistair Overeem.
KnockoutThoughts - Allistair Overeem.
I was just going through every comment to see if anyone was going to say Alistair. 3 full pages and nobody says Alistair, until yours at the very end.
The Justin Lawrence people are making me sad :(
UFC Reem, UFC Wanderlei
No mention of Houston Alexander? Dude looked like he was gonna be a killer. A lot of people seem to not have a clue what constitutes being successful. People saying Bisping? A top ten Middleweight for how many years?
Jack Skellington - Mark Kerr could have been one of the best of all time. Could have.That is such a sad story. He is selling cars in Phoenix now I guess
3 pages and no mention of Dave Terrell?
Arlovskis Chin - I have no idea how Brock lesnar is mentioned in this thread twice already.

Dean Lister
Nick diaz
All those dudes back in the day that were like 500-0.
Like that Puerto Rican dude that Frye knocked out in like, 9 seconds
David Terrell
So far Hector Lombard, might change at welterweight...
But at least His paychecks match the hype train he rode to the UFC
Sub good read.
