A guy who was like 5-0 doing reasonably well in the UFC until Edson Barboza starched him with a wheel kick. Yes, that wheel kick.

he was another guy known for being inefficient with his energy. if he wanted to be hit by a vehicle and an unorthodox kick he could have just hung out in Albuquerque

He had some hype behind him for a bit because he was a non-American fighter with a 4-fight win streak at 155 - the same night as the Barboza KO, the same night as RDA ended Etim's streak, Edgar extended his own streak to 4 by beating BJ Penn and becoming champ. The only other fighters I can remember with 4+ at that time were Maynard and Miller, so it was a significant achievement at that time. And for comparison, a 4-fight run got Clay Guida into a title eliminator vs Bendo a year later.

yeah, i just remember specifically that he was one of those guys that dana and joe would refer to as possibly being another anderson during prefight hype videos and whatnot.

The Barboza KO happened almost two years after that event. Edgar won the title in Abu Dhabi on a card that definitely didn't have anything as cool as that KO. Etim apparently lost to RDA on that card, but I have zero recollection of that fight ever happening.

it was gsp's two losses that propelled him from talented to possibly the greatest fighter to have ever done it. so on a long enough timeline, err, maybe.

It really doesn't. Its a dick move in every possible sense and really should have been policed more.

Terry Etim had some buzz around him in terms of being an up and comer but Rogan was talking about he found him to be an extremely nice guy, super polite and respectful to everyone he met, talked about moving to the US to get better training partners etc, knew the flaws in his own game basically a smart fighter.

Then barboza slept him and he changed dramatically and his career and evidently his life have gone off the rails. Scary poo poo.

i dont like to see it but its really on the referee. if he was constantly hitting them after the ref had already stopped the fight then you could blame him but otherwise its like, why leave it to chance. youve seen how referees make mistakes now and again and also where fights should have been stopped but werent, just like browne and lewis. if lewis didnt keep pouring it on then browne could possibly have recovered because of the refs negligence, instead he just got beaten up even more because of the refs negligence

I kind of get this, but on the other hand, Hendo knew Bisping was out cold with his toes curled in the air before he even went in for that follow up.

You and the other guy signed a contract to hurt each other as much as possible under a certain rule set until either one specific man says stop or a bell rings. If that one specific man hasn't stopped you and a bell hasn't rang I'm not going to look down on you for not being a gentleman to a guy who seconds previous was attempting to maim / kill you.

I used to judge people for hitting the unconscious man they were fighting sometimes less than 1 second ago but then I remember that they've been hit in the head a hundred times and their body is only still working because every cell is screaming to their brain that they're either getting chased by a lion or fighting one, doesn't matter, here's the stuff needed to be as effective at that poo poo as possible.
