2014 Awards: Upsets of the Year

Note: We have two ways that we derive biggest “upsets” based on points difference between winner and loser.

“Most Noteworthy” (X minus Y)
“Most Lopsided” (X divided by Y)

Most Noteworthy: Andrei Arlovski KO(1) Antonio Silva

Arlovski turned back the clock in an unbelievably unexpected win against Silva.  I’m not sure Arlovski himself saw this one coming.

Honorable Mentions: Anthony Johnson UD(3) Phil Davis, Ben Rothwell TKO(1) Alistair Overeem

Most Lopsided: T.J Dillashaw TKO(5) Renan Barao

When you’re roughly a 9.5-to-1 favorite as Barao was, you’re just expected to go out there and take care of business.  Well, that didn’t happen and hopefully the sequel is on tap for early-mid 2015 as Cruz has again proven to be weak in the knees.

Honorable Mentions: Andrei Arlovski KO(1) Antonio Silva, Ben Rothwell TKO(1) Alistair Overeem
