10 Awesome UFC Fighters Who Went On Terrible Runs

A fighter's chin is the equivalent to a dam. As soon as it's busted, you can't stop the inevitable flood that will follow.

Chuck Liddell - once UFC's undisputed face - found that out the hard way after his butchering at the hands of another entry on this list, Rashad Evans.

Once showcasing an ability to avoid being knocked out cold, Evans' merciless sparking out of 'The Iceman', set him down a dark path.

He would be brutalised by Mauricio Rua and Rich Franklin, before finally calling it quits as a UFC fighter.

Then - just when you thought you'd safely seen your last Liddell KO - he would come out of retirement to face old rival, Tito Ortiz, in the Golden Boy promotion and (you guessed it) got knocked out in the first round.

There's no doubt that Liddell still ranks as one of the true legends of UFC and his record still sits at a respectable 21-9, but his reputation definitely took a few fatal hits upon his stuttering exit from the sport.
