What's the biggest upset you've seen in the game?


Recommended Posts

So... What's the biggest upset you've seen in the game?

 

For me, it has to be Ryan Bader (-1050) getting KO'ed in the second round by Mirko Cro Cop (+750). I was not expecting that, and since it was part of a tournament, it kinda sent my plans into a whirlwind. But it all worked out.

CM Punk beating Dan Severn by split decision. Yeah, that happened. Also, Severn later becoming SHW champ at 61.

Terrion Ware beat Petr Yan as a +800 underdog early in my save. Yan has since gone unbeaten (avenging the loss to Ware in the process) and is now a top contender at 135 while Ware never won another fight for me and was released after losing 5 in a row.

 

I turned off fog of war to look at their stats after and it makes no sense that Ware won, I guess anything can happen in MMA after all haha.

My biggest upset wasn't really an odds thing, it was more of a shocker because I of how the fight went down. The fight was Sean Morrison vs. Luis Basora. Morrison was the most decorated fighter in my game at 18-0 and had just suffered his first lost to Sukarno, who was also undefeated. Morrison has always been able to get takedowns and control his opponent is all his fights. Even in the Sukarno fight he was taking him down until he got caught so when he fought Basora, who had been doing better as of late but still had losses to fighters that Morrison wrecked in years past, I was taken aback when 'El Diablo' Luis Basora dominated in every which way throughout the whole fight. I mean he was tossing Morrison around at will. He ended up finishing him in the last round by TKO (Strikes). I'm not sure if Morrison will ever get the rematch with Sukarno or if he'll fizzle out but I feel like I need to protect him when I book him for his next fight because I don't really want to see him lose three in a row. If he does lose again it would be the biggest fall from grace I've ever seen in all of my years playing WMMA.

This is from WMMA4 but Gene Oakley, your bog standard brawling can who starts the game at 2-1 or something like that, and had been relatively successful with a few losses in my game, got a title shot off an injury. He defeated Ateb of Indonesia in the first round to win the XCC belt. He got knocked down four times and then hit Ateb with an uppercut and won in the span of about 4 minutes. I hire him in every game I play even though it's a real struggle trying to give him wins.
