What is the greatest upset mma history

Takase over A. Silva... Sokodjou over Noguiera... better choices, IMO.

 

I think Serra over GSP was an upset of Tyson/Douglas proportions in the MMA world. There have been other shockers over the years such as Nino over Sakuraba, Petruzelli over Kimbo, Smith over Le - but none as shocking as Sera's KO of the seemingly invincible GSP. BJ Penn over Hughes shouldn't be on there because there were plenty of us that knew Penn was coming home with the gold that night!

 

GSP-Serra is sure up there.
But the way CC lost...DAMN.

 

The way CC lost like Quebec said was crazy but I thought there was a strong chance Gonzaga would win but because of his grappling not his striking. Serra over GSP like Sugar said is Tyson-Douglas I mean Serra was always a good fighter but could not quite get over the hump agianst high level fighters his only chance may have been BJJ but it would be hard to submitt GSP at the time and Serra had a big height disadvantage. Lets face it Serra had a zero percent chance and he won. The crowd was in disbelief, the announcers, Dana White, ESB, me, Serra, GSP everyone was like HOLY ****.

 

Alot of those losses in hindsight aren't so bad for numerous reasons. Serra vs GSP is still shocking in hindsight cos GSP is such a badarse.

GSP showed in the rematch what a maestro he is.

 

I would agree with Serra vs GSP; even Tyson vs Douglas sort of makes sense in retrospect, Serra vs GSP 1 just looks stranger and stranger as time goes on.

 

Scott Smith beating Cung Lee
Seth Petruzelli defeating Kimbo Slice

 

mercer vs sylvia

/thread

 

Its never an upset when Kimbo loses.

 

Probably CC's losses to Randleman and Gonzaga. No one saw either one coming. CC looked awesome off the back of the OWGP and everyone though the UFC title had his name on it. So did CC... Much like the Randleman bout he took his opposition way to lightly and paid the price.

 

Couture 'vs' Sylvia

 

couture vs ricco rodriguez. not only that ricco won but that he made randy QUIT :admin

 

I think Serra v. GSP takes it.

 

yea because the people in the other upsets mentioned were either past greats or great fighters who didnt look good there last couple fights.

Serra had 0 signature wins going into the GSP fight, and was a basic nobody. Randleman and Griffin were already established fighters. Gonzaga fits the bill too because he didnt have any name recognition going into his CC fight.
