Which upset that a journeyman managed to pull off were you most stoked about?

i was pretty happy when randy beat tito and tim sylvia. hardly a journeyman though

 

Joe's win over Jens back in the day was pretty huge aswell

 

Ai-edy > Stoo

 

hahaha shot man but nah i dont like to brag about anything. In all honesty ive got nothing against stoo anymore, hating other people on this forum just makes you less of a man and more of a ***** so yea no point really. :good

 

I got the main event wrong and still scored 9 more points in the league :deal

 

Back on topic, I think GSP-Serra has to be the biggest upset of all time, closely followed by Fedor-Werdum, Randleman-Mirko by kod no less and BJ-Hughes when Matt looked unbeatable

 

Fedor had been on the slide for a while - Rogers nearly finished him, as did Hong Man Choi. Arlovski was dominating him up til that famous haymaker

But sure, i cant think of a bigger upset than Serra GSP. The repercussions of that fight have been huge too - Georges went from a fan friendly monster into a Jackson cloned sedative :-(

 

I think with hindsight, the Werdum fight has faded a little bit. But in terms of Werdum's lack of striking and Fedor's fight with Nog, if you put it in context of the time it happened it's deservedly right up there in terms of shock

9 out of 10 people thought Fedor would do a JDS on Fabricio, the other 1/10 who picked him were his parents and family

Still a huge upset, despite Fedor's slide

 

Are we forgeting the key word here ...... Journeyman!!!!!!!

None of the fighters mentioned are journeyman, the results were shocks and upsets.

 

Yeah I know BJ is no Journeyman, was more of an honourable mention. A LW beating a PRIME atg WW is nothing to scoff at

 

Randleman had lost his previous 2 going into the Cro Cop fight and went 2-9 after it.

Werdum is a decent top 10 HW but will never win a title

And Matt Serra's best win is against the definitive journeymen Chris Lytle & Yves Edwards, and only got his shot as a result of TUF. Same as Lauzon getting the Pulver fight

Kinda defines journeymen if you ask me

 

Well considering Joe has wins over two former Champs and his resume shits all over Melvins, that's EXACTLY what you have done in the OP. Mel was on a good run, but he's more of a Journeyman than Joe

Stick to the Brock threads Haggis
