Has a fighter ever taken a beating where you genuinely felt sorry for them?

The fight where Saku got his ear punched off

 

[Lee_]

This was sad. Saku should have retired before this.

If you’re talking about Ortega.. No.

Literally enjoyed every second of those ass whoopings.

Carwin/Dos Santos

Dude's whole tone changed after going into the 3rd. Went from being a killer to don't kill me.

122 strikes to 0.

Damn near half of them knees to the head.

I can't believe he got in the ring again, let alone took a rematch.

 

[Aluminati]

Don Frye vs Amaury Bitteti.

 

[sss133]

JDS against Cain. He too damn tough for his own good and I fear the long term repercussions on his health from those fights.

Was weird in 2 and 3 JDS was still trying to fight but just had it beaten out of him usually fighters just go completely defensive

 

[Diktaattori]

Forrest vs Anderson.

He got absolutely humiliated and ran from the cage crying.

Spoiler

 

[HHJ]

Yeah I felt bad for Thiago Tavares right around here...

Like damn...

Khabib is a savage.

Imagine if there was no ref. That shit was getting dangerous.

 

[TheArgumentPod]

Sakuraba vs arona

 

[JayJayMMA]

The Hippo vs Bader
Tough to see him take that damage

 

[Patrick Jane]

Fred Ettish

The dude who Gary Goodridge put in a crucifix position and elbowed his head into another dimension

the way his head is just flopping around and he eats at least 5+ unnecessary ones from Gary who is a huge guy, this was one of the first MMA KO's I ever saw and still holds up as one of the most brutal.

It's like when Remco figured out you can just elbow someones brains in if you can't reach around for Kesa.

Not the worst beating in the world, but Royce getting flattened and smashed by Hughes was rough to watch. Hughes didn't even break a sweat. He really stayed on track. Benefits of training hard.

Jesus christ that resembles a pit bull vs a senior citizen

 

[Oscar Madison]

WMMA -- just sad to watch.

Honorable mention to Ryan Hall -- because he looked like a WMMA style victim that couldn't fight back once Topuria ended that rolling around nonsense.

 

[Fergelmince]

Johnson looked like he was trying to catch a squirrel that snuck in his house when his kid opened the door

thats as close to a 12 to 6 elbows as you can get without getting DQ'd.

 

[Deleted member 405583]

The wording.

 

[Bob Sapp]

Conor, Ortega and OMalley i will never feel sorry for.

Hughes was holding back, too. He let go of a submission because he knew Royce wouldn't tap, and you could tell he wasn't that happy with the victory once he got it.

Those aren't 12-6 elbows at all. His arm is parallel to the ground and he's throwing in a diagonal motion at best.
