Glover Texeira and Brandon Vera. Both had impressive starts in the UFC then subsequently fizzled.

Yep. I’d forgotten about that.

[Konstantin Koltsov]

Jorge Gurgel. He trains with Rich Franklin, so he's gotta be good, right?

 

[GearSolidMetal]

Uriah Hall

This.

Of all the TUF Hypetrains, he was undoubtedly the biggest derailment.

 

[jumasterflex]

Nick Diaz ( second run ) had hopes of him being the king of 170 and tearing the division apart but nope he's gone 1-3 ...wait no 1 -2-1 .

Also his buddy shields .I guess he did better getting wins over Woody and maia but still expected more

Remember Bubba McDaniel calling out Kelvin, thinking he was an easy fight as a rookie?

Nope, but I doubt it was as bad as being hyped up high enough to beat the GOAT of their weight class, and then not even winning the TUF finals.

James McSweeny from TUF with Rampage and Rashad as coaches

I remember seeing Houston Alexander put Jardine and Sakara away like it was nothing and then seeing him lose a bunch of times after that.

The sad thing is, he was effortlessly dominating every fight he lost in the UFC.
