USada be kidding me?
He really wasn't. He had the superkick KO and the Ben Nguyen KO, as well as great fights against Paddy Holohan and Tim Elliott. He showed a lot of skill and was an entertaining guy to have on the roster, but he unfortunately hit a wall once he tried entering the top 10.He was terrible
I vaguely remember seeing some backstage footage — maybe from a Thrill and Agony? —where he was incredibly distraught over a loss and wracked with self-doubt, and thinking "this is a man not long for the UFC."
That was from the bout vs. Brandon Moreno.
I wouldn't look to into a fighter being distraught backstage though. Tons of fighters are like that including Anderson Silva. These fights mean a lot to them.
Yeah I have no idea why I can't find that video either. I remember it a little differently but nonetheless it was pretty powerful stuff.Distraught I understand. It was the wracked with self-doubt bit that struck me. I can't remember the clip well enough to quote or even be sure my impression is accurate, but he seemed to express a "what the fuck am I even doing here!" attitude that definitely wasn't standard procedure.

Interestingly enough, Gladiator Challenge is on ONE FC's radar, they signed Savannah Em, who had fought there.Man...Goes 5 - 5 in the UFC. Some performance awards. Than loses 4 and winds up in Gladiator Challenge.
The promotion where the championship belts look like the lid to a garbage can.
Time to really turn things around

Considering his Hawaiian background, I could see ONE making a move for him in the future.
