| Greatest Upset in MMA
What in your opinion was the greatest upset in MMA and why?I'm going to have to go with Maurice Smith defeating Mark Coleman at UFC 14.Mark Coleman at the time was made up to be this monster he was undefeated and he finished all his fights,while Maurice Smith on the other hand had a rocord of 4-3 and was supposed to be a safe fight for Coleman.Maurice Smith was very one dimensional he was a kick boxer and all his losses caim by from people who took the fight to the ground this should've worked perfectly into Colemans hands as he was a world class wrestler ,but ultimately he lost than he lost again,than he lost again.Coleman redeemed himself and Pride and is very well known while Smith is probably only known and for his upset of Coleman.

Randleman KOing Crocop.
Ian Freeman demolishing Frank Mir.
Nick Diaz KOing Robbie Lawler
But the biggest upset for me in recent memory is Phil Baroni's George Michael-esque ring entrance's in Pride Bushido!

I watched Kevin Randleman's GNP win over Mirko CroCop yesterday. The PRIDE announcers were livid. So that's the first upset that comes to mind for me.
Maybe Penn vs. Hughes was a big upset too, depending on who you thought was gonna win that one beforehand.
Keith Hackney vs. Emmanuel Yarborough... I remember watching that fight, as it was starting, thinking "Man, this Hackney guy is going to get ripped apart".

In my opinion the biggest upset would be Frank Mir over his shirt at UFC 61!! I thought for sure his shirt was gonna get the best of him!!
That shit was funny....  ....if you saw it.

Aurelio over Gomi,Williams over Coleman, and Randleman over Cro Cop are all good ones.
Fujita over Mark Kerr was a pretty damn big upset at the time.
