Jimmy Smith also has a loss to Andy Wang.



In a thread full of noted shitbags and vanilla men everyone should cast their minds back to Chris Lytle. Notably he has a combat sports record of 69 (nice) fights. He had an insane finish rate in both boxing and MMA (winning by decision just 6 times in 44 wins) and started MMA as "something to keep active". He notably eschewed training in "mma" and instead focused on individual disciplines throughout his career training at dedicated boxing or BJJ gyms. He did all of this while a full time firefighter paving the way for other firefighter punchmen like Stipe Miocic and Stipe Miocic.

He was genuinely one of the most entertaining fighters to watch every time he stepped into the ring and earned 10 bonuses over his 10-10 UFC career. He retired from fighting primarily because he wanted to spend more time with his wife and 4 kids and as far as I can tell was always held in high regard by people around the sport as a good dude. For some reason though he came out of retirement 7 years after walking away from MMA to throw 3 people a beating in Bareknuckle FC. Winning 2 of his 3 fights by KO at about 45 years old.

Man, I remember this guy now. I caught his fight against Drew Lipton on late night TV once. Rewatching it is fun, dude's 15 years older than his opponent, comes out and just lays in a beating. Knockdown in the first series of blows, busted Lipton's eyebrow open, then knocked him down again after enough body blows his whole side's visibly bruising up as he gets up. Once more rush, lands a hard body blow on the right side then clips his chin and Lipton waves the ref off instead of getting up. Fun fight but man bareknuckle is brutal.
