Stat of the Day: Loss Streaks after Win Streaks

Posted on October 1, 2023 by Jason

After recently realizing that Tony Ferguson had won 12 straight fights, and then lost 6 straight… I started to think, has something like this ever happened before in Pro MMA? And then I started to wonder if anything WORSE than this had happened?

Though, it is tough to grade “worse” in this case. If a fighter wins 15 straight, then loses 6, that’s probably worse. But what if they won 8, then lost 8, is that worse? You get my point.

Here are some good finds…

Kevin Asplund has a mighty impressive case, winning 15 straight, then dropping 5, then winning 1, then dropping 5 more in a row.
Allan Zuniga may actually beat Tony, if you count his fight in TUF 22. His career is especially weird, where he starts out at 13-0, loses the TUF fight, then loses 5 pro fights and has not fought since.
Mitsuhisa Sunabe has an active streak to watch. He won 16 in a row before his current 4 fight losing streak.
How about Johnnie Roades? This guy won 6 straight, then lost 11 in a row!

Did I miss anyone? Let me know in the comments!

Note: Draws and no contests were ignored.

Current MMA Rankings Updated (08-20-2023).. and Two Complaints

Posted on August 20, 2023 by Jason

Is anyone else, sick of hearing the UFC commentators declare every champion who has defended 3x or more, as the “best ever” in that weight division?
Leg kicks are ruining fights. I can’t wait until a high-level fight turns into a kicking war like Paco vs. Frank Dux in Bloodsport, but with the two fighters kicking solely at each others’ lower legs. Then, people will start complaining – unless it ends in an Epic KO like that scene did. Anyway, I vote to ban all kicks at or below the knee.
