yea i just found outWanderlei got knocked out in the first round via a massive left hook and then got punched 5 times while out cold lol Forrest got koed in the 3 rd round. Forrest was winning but he got caught throwing a kick and was taken down and pounded to a stoppage
UFC sucks man, you really can't rely on a favorite fighter. Everybody loses every 3 fights. IMO that will be UFC's downfall, unlike boxing boxers records are a lot more consistent.
example:
ufc fighter - 9-4-1 wtf? thats a low winning percentage but he can be a champ.
boxer - 30-1-0. now that is a consistent record with a high winning percentage.
I can't remember the last boxer who had a 50/50 win/lose record and became champ or even got a title shot.

But there are just so many ways to win/lose in mma. In actuality, it's more in line with traditional TEAM records. ie, BOXING is the odd man out. What TEAM ever won every game AND the championship? Doesn't happen in any sport I watch....
btw, I don't know any mma fighter who is 50-50 and champ, nor do I think it has ever happened. It's usually more like you said... 0.700 and up or so...

I think it might actually help MMA. In UFC the fans know that Dana makes the match ups and he's concerned with making exciting fights, not coddling a prospect into contention.certainly adds to the drama. And makes a booky's job more difficult.yea i just found out
