Who is a fighter you thought would do more in mma?

Over the years many fighters have been briefly hyped, who is someone you thought would be more successful than they were?

One fighter I liked watching was KJ Noons. He had great hands for MMA and had some good fights but he just dropped off after the Nick rematch.

Robbie is to blame for that rise to the top crashing, 2 great fights ruined his career and made him kinda gun-shy.

The second fight is top 5 for sure, I’m not sure where I place it though, I lean towards 1 or 2. Shogun vs Hendo and Lawler vs Condit are up there too. But pride had some real exciting fights too, I’d hate to actually make a list that couldnt have ties.

That Thiago knee changed him, his fights after that didn’t have the same aggression if I remember correctly.

His Baroni win was nice though.

There was a fighter i thought was going to be a destroyer. Brandon something? I have no idea what happened to him.

What organization, time period?

I remember Gunner clipping him years ago, good fight up to that point though.

He had a lot of hype…Benson exposed him
