|  fighters who just can't catch a break...
i kinda brought this up in another thread, but who are some fighters with talent, who just can't seem to catch a break anymore?
i'd say Mike Van Arsdale, Charuto and almost anyone from the Lion's Den (Shamrock, White, Telligman)...what do you guys think?

Jorge Gurgel fits into that category. He is better then he has been shown to be.

I'd say Joe Riggs. I know he's still in the UFC, but it just seems like he craps out in big matches. From all accounts from people he trains with he's a beast and ultra talented. He just hasn't found a way to put it all together in big matches yet.

1.) Stephen Bonner
2.) Joe Riggs
Talented guys, but always on the losing end of an otherwise good fight.

even though hes old and washed up, and no one really likes him
ima add Ken Shamrock
- Slips vs Franklin
- Gets a BS stoppage vs Saku
- Questionable stoppage vs Tito
- Questionable decision vs Frye
- Injured vs Tito in the first fight, didnt get the rematch when he wanted it to.. and became older
the end of his career has been BAD.
