Sisti Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 I'd have to go with Edgar beating Penn...Penn was just such a monster when they first fought and was better than Edgar at EVERYTHING Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sisti Posted January 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 some other good ones: penn beating hughes in their first fight forrest getting the belt from rampage serra over gsp (of course) hendo over wanderlei in '07 (at the time, that was a huge upset) gonzago over crocrop in '07 jardine over liddell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juzie Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 Most people will say Serra over GSP but they forget how much of an upset Forrest over Shogun was. I'm going with Forrest over Shogun for it's time. But the GSP upset has aged the best. One of the biggest major org upset of all time was Soccerjew over Lil Nog though.... and Werdum over Fedor needs a mention in that case too but not quite as bad as the others I mentioned.

Sisti Posted January 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 forgot about werdum over fedor, that is def in the top 3 of all time a few others people don't really talk about edgar beating sherk couture beating sylvia and vitor randelman over crocrop a. silva over sakurai (this may shock people...but at the time they fought, sakurai was hands down the WW boss and undefeated, silva won the shooto championship in their fight, and it was a huge win in his career that most people don't mention) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creep_bb Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 In UFC history, just by the way it happened I'm going with Gonzaga over Cro Cop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UAEUFC1984 Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 Matt Serra over GSP. Especially after getting the title shot coming off a TUF "Comeback" show, which I hear the UFC is planning on doing again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StompGrind Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 Couture over Vitor in thier first fight was a pretty huge upset at the time. J-Lo over Pulver was another huge upset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tapped2strikes Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 J-Lo over Pulver was another huge upset. That's a really good example. I and many others would never have thought of that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UFC_311 Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 Edgar over Penn twice Ortiz over Bader Sonnen vs. Anderson- Anderson for getting pounder by an unknown; Sonnen for giving up the submission after the most one sided beatdown in title fight history Sonnen was an unknown when he fought Silva? :-O To the casual fan...yes. It had been the first time most people have ever heard of him. He may have gained a very small following after the Marquardt smashing, but that's it.

BlackBaron Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 You guys all forget to mention Cain Vs JDS 2. That to me is easily the biggest upset in UFC history. JDS either had two things happen. One, he got paid mad money to throw the fight so they could have a unification bout because the HW division is shallow, or two he was injured and didn't tell us, simple as that.
