We have seen other the years many instances when the Champion dominates the challenger from bell to bell (ex:Most GSP wins , Stipe vs Ngannou , Cruz vs MM/Faber 3 etc) but we have also seen instances when the challenger gives the champion a vicious beating in some cases going to a decision while in some finishing him , Here are some of my favorites.
Please dont post fluke fights such as first round fluke knockouts as vicious beatings , Im taking about guys going to the hospital from the beating they took from their opponent or being completely answer-less against them.
RDA vs Pettis - Pettis absolutely had nothing for the big underdog RDA , RDA domianted all 5 rounds showing that he and Pettis arent in the same league. One of the most dominant performances imo.
-
GSP destroying Top 10 GOAT Matt Hughes in their second fight to avenge his first loss definitely deserves a mention ,All-Time great Hughes had nothing in answer for the future greatest of all time Georges St-Pierre and after getting saved by the bell in the first round he was finished by a vicious headkick and follow-up punches in the second.
-
The challenger ALexander Gustafsson surprised many when he put a vicious beating in the heavily favored Jon Jones , Although losing in cards Gustafsson put a beating in Jones in that night sending him right to the hospital after the fight. No one ever had seen Jones getting beat up like that until Gus put a beating on him.
-
Jones absolutely destroyed Shogun Rua to become the youngest UFC champion in the history , Although Rua's best days were clearly behind him the way Jones did this was still impressive.
-
Georges St-Pierre avenged his first-round upset loss against Matt Serra in a devestating fashion avenging yet one of his losses in brutal fashion , Proving that he was the way more skilled fighter and that the first fight result would happen only once in a thousand times.
-
Randy Couture coming back from retirement(short-lived but still) in the age of 43 and dominate the then UFC HW Champion Tim Sylvia from bell to bell dropping him in the opening minute of the fight is one of the most impressive and satistfying performances of all time , Randy went on to win all the rounds of that fight and beat Slvia both in the ground and standing to once again become the heavyweight champion of the world
