    Brandon Vera.

    The loss to Silvia seemed to take his mind off the game and have a "just glad to be here" mentality

    Great example. Arlovski was considered a dangerous man possibly beating Fedor.

    Chris Leben before he ran into Anderson Silva he was on a 5 fight winning streak and if he got past Silva a shot at the title.
    Then Silva Crushed him fast and brutally and now Leben is a gatekeeper at best

    Good shout. Leben had so much confidence in his chin, and it gave him so much self-belief. Everything came off that for him, and Anderson took it away in forty-something seconds.

    :hat

    Anderson Silva destroying Chris Leben had nothing to do with Leben becoming a one-demensional mid-tied brawlor. People act as if he was on the cusp of a title shot. He was ranked top-10 by ZERO major publications at the time.

    Evan Dunham was the next big thing at LW until he lost to Sherk and then got KOd by Guillard as the cherry on top of everything

    Also thought of Jake Sheilds.
    After the GSP fight he stopped making much noise anymore

    Franklin hasn't been the same since losing to Silva. Cung Le made him almost irrelevant now. Too bad, Franklin is my favorite.
