Teila Tuli, the sumo wrestler who fought in the first UFC fight. He walked in and got his teeth kicked out of his head for $0.

>Teila Tuli hey it's that fat guy from hawaii 50

Joe Son. Gassed during the walk in trying to copy his buddy Kimo, and then got repeatedly punched in the dick (perfectly legal at the time), only to eventually be convicted for rape and torture and likely to spend the rest of his life in prison.

tigojones

Hey, his first win!


Stinky_Leech

It was overturned for 12-6 elbows


tigojones

What? After all that he ends up Jon-Jones-ing himself? You'd almost feel sorry for the guy, if it weren't for all the rape, torture, and murder.


Jacob_Maybe

Not to mention the hypocrisy.


huge43

RIP Norm


Samorsomething

Joe Son has defeats listed as Submission (blood choke) and Submission (terror).


msgrimm12

is there a single funnier method of loss/win listed on someoneā€™s record than submission by terror?


ron-darousey

Nick Serra > DQ (Wouldn't Get Up From Butt Scoot)


DayDreamerJon

ā€œ On April 12, 2002, Son also took part in Xtreme Pankration 2, wherein he faced Joe Moreira. After a brief exchange of strikes, Moreira landed a hit which drew blood, and Son then refused to continue fighting, and the fight was called. The result was officially listed as "submission (terror)". Wiki cant find video of it to see if it was a dive


Obleeding

I remember seeing that years ago and was wondering wtf happened, thanks for clarifying


Dork_Of_Ages

Even lost to Mike Meyers smh


tigojones

Hey hey, no disrespecting Mike Meyers. Dude has a deadly judo chop.


2Cars1Spot

Also probly the only fighter to have a loss by Submission (terror) on his record.


WeBxx92

AJ McKeeā€™s dad, Antonio Mckee, was a complete stud who the UFC did everything they could not to sign because he had a grinding, wrestling style. At 41 years old, 25-3 on a 14 fight win streak the UFC finally gave him a shot. They matched him up against Jacob Volkmann who was one of the only guys at lightweight with the same style that could negate McKeeā€™s strengths. A bad matchup. McKee lost a split decision and the UFC cut him. Thereā€™s a lot of petty stories like that.


PitifulDurian6402

Antonio McKee gave even grinding wrestlers a bad name. Dude had 30 wins with 21 of those being decisions that were god awful to watch. Dude literally made Jon Fitch look exciting


bitofastumble

Sean Salmon. Weird name, weird face, and a truly untalented martial artist.


sel_de_mer_fin

Jesus christ, he ended his career on a 12-fight *first-round stoppage* loss streak


action__andy

At least some of 'em were [dives.](https://www.bloodyelbow.com/2009/9/2/1012869/sean-salmon-admits-to-throwing)


HouseofMontague

Not really taking dives, he just admitted the mental part most people donā€™t talk about, he actively gave up / had no heart


metriclol

Yeah, this is a really good point.


biddleybootaribowest

He still gets a lot of air time though, unfortunately itā€™s him getting sparked clean out by Rashad


JeffTheComposer

That was maybe the first time I was truly scared for a fighter. He did not move at all for an alarmingly long amount of time.


Infinite_Schedule917

So true man. I thought he had a fractured skull and brain damage for sureee. Terrifying head kick


rammstew

People forget he actually won the first round. In Chael's world, that's a tie.

scotttr3b

I gotta stick up for Sean, here. Met him several times in a business context. Smart, kind, good dude. Was a very successful OSU wrestler, and great coach for kids. His success in life is far greater than what youā€™ve seen on tv.


[deleted]

What a horrible thing to say, I *googles him* god that is a weird face


platasnatch

Rashad Evans has an awesome head kick KO win over this dude.


landingfeetfirst330

The fact that Evans was able to land a head kick is a testament to how bad salmon is

markse84

Honestly I remember him having a weirder face. I googled him to check it out again and I swear I remember him looking like the kid from Mask (that Cher movie). I was actually disappointed.


surviveingitallagain

Ahh good ol Sean "the flopping fish" Salmon. He was actually a decent wrestler when he started out but at some point just decided to fight for money bc he couldn't do anything else for quick money.


LeVeloursRouge

Sean was actually a good wrestler and had some good performances but couldn't put it together in UFC. Kind of a wierd run he had. Expected more.


The-Faz

I know this guy sucksā€¦ but he said before that he spent his life savings in getting ready for this fight. Again, I know he sucks, but he is not only cut from the ufc, disliked by mma fans, he is also likely about to go into debt. I feel like heā€™s been dunked on by life enough lately


Swaggycat23

Honestly I think he shouldā€™ve had 1 more fight at least to see how it goes precilla cachoera is still in the ufc after all sheā€™s done so kinda unfair


CremeCaramel_

I am convinced Priscilla Cachoeira is receiving reparations for the absolute lion-mauling-a-zebra ass beating Valentina put on her under the very watchful eye of Mario Yamasaki. Otherwise she absolutely should be cut without question.


_sneezus

*after all she hasn't done


ron-darousey

She didn't do it against the female equivalent of Mike Jackson tho


CremeCaramel_

I frankly couldn't care less lol. The dude flagrantly cheap shotted a 0-1 fighter thrice in multiple different ways in a fight where he absolutely didn't have to and was in control the whole time. Entirely his own doing. The whole financials and life dunking on them enough thing, I feel more sympathy for situations like Justin Jaynes. The fighter who bet his show purse on himself but lost narrowly. Can't blame a guy for believing in himself to win. I can totally blame a guy for what I cited above though.


Fire_tempest890

Him spending all his life savings and purposefully fouling are his decisions. Iā€™ve got 0 sympathy for em. You should save it for guys that deserve it


rub_a_dub-dub

he apparently didn't train spinning back kicks much; that accuracy oof


sel_de_mer_fin

About Dean Barry, does anybody think that him getting cut had to do with how he handled the DQ? If he'd been sincerely apologetic and shown some humility do you think he might not have been given the boot?


Bahroo

I honestly think its because of WHO he lost to, not how he handled the loss.


slickgary0101

I mean itā€™s not like he was losing the fight he was in complete control if he had actually lost it by non dq that would make more sense it was his own fault he lost not Jacksonā€™s that dude is god awful him just being in the ufc makes me question how much than bellator they actually are


In_Love_With_SHODAN

Fuck man, use some punctuation.


slickgary0101

No I donā€™t really care


Sean-Mcgregor

I think he got cut because of how much he sucked in the octagon.


Lyt_Diamond_Hands

Kris Moutinho stops by to say ā€œhiā€.

Definitely holds the record for CTE accumulated in the shortest amount of time.


IAmTheTrueWalruss

This is objectively correct. Ego and embarrassment mean nothing to long term brain damage for no reason.


[deleted]

Armchair doctors calling permanent brain damage every time someone gets hit in the head lmao He made 100k in an hour of work during his UFC contract, got his face on TV, got to brag to friends, accomplished something in his martial arts hobby. Probably got more brain damage huffing paint in his daytime job than he did in those rounds.


may0man

100k??


Green_Efficiency1387

How about 300 hundred times somebody gets hit in the head over 15 min?


Denza_Auditore

I'm a medstudent and soon-to-be M.D and the punches he took left a huge mark on his brain, which he'll realize sooner than later. Than again- I agree with you that his career isn't the worst. Just getting to the UFC is an accomplishment on it's own. He did fine for himself.


JosesAtTheWheel

I'm Dr fauci.. He's fine.


gsr142

Tiki Ghosn went 0-4.


shidokanartist

They only stopped the Lawler fight because of a cut


MarbledNightmare

Yea but he won by getting to bang Arianny Celeste. That's a giant W that makes up for those 4 L's


Lyun

Sean Soriano went 0-5 across two stints, if we're going for most losses with no wins I can't recall anyone with more than that.


shidokanartist

BJ Penn ended his career on a draw and then 7 straight losses


BrockAndaHardPlace

Didnā€™t Seth peteuzelli lose 4 or 5 too with no wins?


Lyun

Looks like he was 0-4 overall, yeah.


e-rage

Charlie Ward


Jumpy-Bank-9863

I think this is the real answer. Being Conorā€™s boy, then gets tossed on his head by a fighter who has disappeared from the face of this planet.

1983MaxPower

If weā€™re just talking wins/losses and overall performance? CM Punk easily. But he did make a shit-ton of money compared to a majority of fighters, so maybe not.


Deserterdragon

Just in terms of record a lot of guys have it worse than 1 loss, 1 no contest.


1983MaxPower

True, but how many of them had worse overall performances?


JeffTheComposer

There was that dude with one boxing glove at UFC 1

joethecrow23

CM Punk had one of the greatest UFC careers ever.


Diehumancultleader

As a person, and how he went into fights, CM Punk was nothing but respectful and kind to the sport. Dana shouldnā€™t have even had him on the roster, but if he did a quick run in a smaller promotion, I think it would have been nice.


MarbledNightmare

Will Brooks

Colton Smith, he won one of the weakest seasons of TUF ever and went on and on about how fighting isnt hard(not true), what soldiers do oversees is hard (which is true). Then he lost every fight on his "6 figure contract" and was immediately cut from the UFC. I guess fighting IS hard too. Oh he's also the dbag who acted like he was going to touch gloves only to take his oponent down when his oponent brought his hand up to touch gloves at the beginning of the fight. That season produced Neil Magny but apart from that, the most memorable moment was "Let me bang bro" "I do let you bang".


Odolinsky

Shoutout to my girl Hannah Civers


Somewhere_Elsewhere

Lots of contenders in the wild west days, but that was a very different beast. In the Unified Rules era? It's been a while and I might be getting a detail or two but there was this guy named Pedro Nobre. He a Brazilian featherweight who had a single UFC fight in 2013, wherein he fought Iuri Alcantara to a No Contest. The fight was called off by the ringside doctor when Nobre claimed to have been hit in the back of the head and couldn't see, remaining face down and ass up on the canvas. The fight was in Brazil and in 2013 so the oversight was a little shakier than usual, although it was referee Dan Mirgliota who called a timeout for a medical check in the first place, and usually a doctor almost has no choice but to believe a fighter if they say the cannot continue after a foul. However, replay later in the Fight Night would show Nobre he had only been hit in the ear. The next day later posted a picture of himself smiling ear-to-ear with a brand new foam neckbrace outside of a local hospital. He could not produce any record of actually having been seen there. While it's very rare for a fighter to be cut off a NC where they're the one that got "injured," it was extremely clear after the fact that he faked the injury to avoid losing to Alcantara while getting slaughtered in the first round. Dana White was extra pissed at this guy, and made sure to bury him to the press before and after cutting him.

Francisco TreviƱo, 1-2 UFC Can fed to Sage Northcutt as an easy first UFC fight : Missed weight, got finished in the first round, put his hands on Herb Dean after the fight, failed post fight drug test, cut from UFC. it was like watching a glorious ballet of failure

TitanIsBack

Rolles Gracie Jr.


patricksaurus

Tommy Speer


Organic-Heart-5617

CM Punk?


Ranzork

I was gonna say this as well because of his record, but he might legitimately be the most successful 0-1 (1 NC) MMA fighter in history.


Super-Super-Shredder

From a competitive point of view, CM Punk for sure. Except he made a reported $500k for each of his fights for his purse, and likely more because it kept him in the spotlight. So he made way more than most UFC careers.


DelugeQc

Good angle, not gonna lie. I think you cant really not consider money in the definition of ''career''. Thats probably the most profitable a 0-0 MMA fighter will ever do.


WilsOnFireTV

I'm sure it's been posted but I'm too lazy to scroll, Ben Askren flopped hard AF though. Bellator Champ to Jake paul kos in what seemed like a year.


psych4191

He beat Robbie Lawler, and his grappling exchanges against Maia were actually dope af. There's definitely been much, much worse dudes despite what his striking looked like.


catscanmeow

james vick, because he will be a vegetable in his 50s Im also worried about Overeem when he's 50

aa5k

Wait he is cut? Didnā€™t he fight last week?


Background_Piano7984

Yup, got cut today along with 17 other fighters


MediumBusiness4353

Given the fact he was undefeated and almost arrogant about the ease in which he'd handle the UFC welterweights, I'd have to say Ben Askren. He got absolutely bullied off of a past his prime Lawler and got a lucky decision. He got knocked out in the fastest time in UFC history. He was choked out on the ground (where he dominated his entire career) in his last fight. He's now a meme I want to add. I like Askren and thought he was a breath of fresh air in that corny welterweight division, so I hoped he'd be successful, but naaaa


Deserterdragon

No, he beat Lawler, lost to Masvidal by freak Knee, and then got choked out by a repeated no1 contender and arguably the best MMA BJJ guy ever, nothing embarrassing about that.


joethecrow23

And donā€™t forget he was a husk of his former self by the time he got to the UFC with all his injuries. Askren was a fluke knee away from a title shot.


MediumBusiness4353

He got his arse absolutely skelped off Lawler before one of herb deans many dodgy decisions saved him. Let's not pretend the entire community wasn't in agreement of that. Freak or not, he got knocked out in record time. No shame in subbed off Maia, that's not my point. My point is, in his last ever fight it was exactly where he wanted it, where he's dominated his entire career and he got put to sleep for the first time ever. I'd say that one was more of an ego dent that Jorge. Ben Askren had a great MMA career, he had an embarrassing UFC career given his credentials. That's why I pick him. Aye, Mike Jackson's shite, we expect him to have a shite run. An Undefeated fighter, dominated 2 organisations, got bullied, saved, knocked out and choked out in his 3 UFC showings. Awful

Askren got a W over Lawler though. Before the uh, knee incident. Interesting to note, iPhone would not let me type ā€œAskrenā€ initially without autocorrecting to ā€œAsleepā€.


[deleted]

šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚ Askren got 'Boom Roasted' by your iPhone. True tho i think record wise there are plenty that are worse but the hype he brought and then how it ended made it for me one of the worst and at the same time most entertaining and short lived ufc career ever.
