1) Chris Weidman
He was supposed to be the "special" kid. He beat the legend Anderson Silva and defended his title against two other legends, Belfort and Machida. From there, he went on to get his face smashed by Rockhold after a terrible spinning shit kick attempt and kept on losing. Got his eye messed up by Romero's knee, tried to cheat his way out against Mousasi, faceplanted after getting punched in the face by Souza, had a terrible move to LHW and got KO'd back to MW where he eventually ended it all with a broken leg. Oh the irony to live the same fate as Anderson, the guy he dethroned a few years back.
2) Renan Barao
He was the invincible force in BW who hadn't lost in 9 years.. He got absolutely schooled by T.J in a 5 rounds domination and never came back from it. He lost 7 of his next 9 fights and got KO'd again by T.J in the process. Completely disapperead from all the GOAT talks while he was regarded as one of the most dominant fighters Pound for Pound at that time. Now any casual wouldn't know who the f Renan Barao is.
3) Fedor Emelianenko
There's something terribly sad when you see the man who was considered the most feared HW in the world lose his aura. We're talking about the guy who beat Big Nog and Cro Cop in their respective game, and had never been beaten in 31 pro fights before his downfall.
He got careless and go caught in a triangle, then endured a terrible beating from Bigfoot in a fight where he looked like a kid brutalized by his dad. Cherry to the cake, he then got KO'd by a middleweight and left strikeforce after that.
Don't talk to me about the cans or washed up fighters he beat after because that's not relevant and that doesn't make what happened in these three fights less painful.
4) Conor Mcgregor
The higher you go the harder you fall. He was on the top of the world after his masterclass against Eddie Alvarez. Maybe one of the most stellar and dominant performances we witnessed. He was the champ champ and nobody could deny his talent, his impressive determination and his mental warfare.
Money and fame got to his head, he then lost himself in cocaine, red panty nights, freak shows, and got his ass handed to him by Khabib in what was one of the most iconic fights and rivalry in the history of the UFC. After this performance, his trashtalk had lost his power for good.
Cowboy was only there to make it seem that Conor was still relevant, but reality check was too hard when Poirier KO'd him and broke his leg in back to back fights.
The vision of him lying on the floor with his broken leg, shouting "your wife is in me DMs" is the pathetic conclusion to a downfall that was inevitable for someone so inactive.
5) Anderson Silva
You have to talk about a fall from grace when you have the most consecutive title defences and get KO'd unconscious by a newcomer. Not only that, Anderson then broke his leg in a brutal fashion, got busted for steroid use, and lost all his next fights, despite good but frustrating moments against Bisping. Should not have won against Brunson, he basically did nothing in there.
He went on to have bizarre fights, where he had the courage to take Cormier on short notice, but his confrontation with Nick Diaz was more of an exhibition farce. Jared Cannonier showed how old Silva looked in comparison with the new generation, and even old Uriah Hall knocked him out bad. Time to hang them off, spider...
