Last time a UFC Champ was brutally dethroned?

Anderson Silva took Rich Franklin's Soul, That was pretty brutal

All you have to do to understand what I meant is read the first sentence of the OP. Not hard.

I'm getting some good answers though, thanks guys. I was just curious.

Anderson Emelianenko GOAT - you dont have to be rendered unconscious to be brutally dethroned.

Oh i know, and if I could change the title I would, but I can't.

However, you can clearly see in my OP what I meant. Clear as day.

:D


It was 10 years ago and my memory is a bit hazy but I remember Tim Sylvia taking Ricco's head off.

Cain over Brock? Phone Post

Mir/Sylvia was a brutal dethroning.

XxLiveBaitxX - Not a UFC fight but Pat Curran brutally dethroned Joe Warren. That was about as brutal a beating (and dodgy reffing) as I've seen in quite a while.

Yeah bad Phone Post

TheBoognish - The jones vs shogun bout was extremely brutal but doesn't fit OP's qualifications I guess. Phone Post

Shogun tapped to strikes... That's as brutal as it gets. Phone Post

BrCutter -  I thought Serra taking GSP out was pretty brutal.  After the big shot from Serra, he got some serious gnp on st. pierre.  

Nah it's just shocking because he lost and it didn't go the disrance. Two things that never happen ;) Phone Post

brutally dethroned as in most devastating to us watching at home...

Lesnar vs Couture :(

Cain was dropped pretty bad vs jr Phone Post

" Your definition of "brutally dethroned" is very peculiarly specific."

Indeed. Very strange.

David Terrell over Matt Lindland. One clean punch 25 seconds in.

Didn't Cain go limp after Jds ko'd him, prob wrong though...... Phone Post

TheDecider - Don't know the last but Silva/Franklin had to be the most brutal.

Couture by Liddell.
