| A couple of years ago I would have said Penn and Vitor, but luckily they turned their careers around.
I would have to say currently Kid, Aleks, and Barnett are wasting their careers away.
Fighters from the past that ruined their careers include Kerr, Lee Murray, and Ricco. | |

| It's starting to look like Tim Sylvia, unless he can get it turned around quickly. Former UFC champion getting ktf out by Ray Mercer. Ever since the Fedor fight..it's been all downhill for the Maine-iac. | |

| I would say Ninja hit many of the nails right off the bat. My list includes Kerr, Vera, Sylvia, GG, & Barnett. | |

| Frank Shamrock left a lot of what ifs behind, even if he was a long standing champion. Arona is another one. | |

| I disagree LA cause with Gabe all u hear is about how good his subs are and shit like that but he never tries to take any1 down. If he is talented on the ground but never takes the fight there that is wasted talent to me. | |

| He hasn't had the chance in his loses that I've seen, he took Carwin down, but Carwin got up and KO'd him, Dos Santos escaped a takedown and Ko'd him. I think he is what he is personally | |

| Cung Le!!!!!!!! 18months of it anyway. If he hadn't done all the movies and worked out hard, Where would he be right now? I know there is alot of hatred for him but I think he would have rolled through some guys in SF. | |
