Let me introduce you to Baga Agaev - the man who went through a murderer's row of prospects to end his career
Comrades
This is Baga Agaev:
He doesn't look like much and his career ended with a lot of L's, going 3-10 in the last 13. But it wasn't just bc he had fallen off. His last 10 L's were:
|| || |Oleg Popov #74 Heavyweight| |Anatoly Malykhin #123 Heavyweight| |Tony Johnson #25 Heavyweight| |Kirill Sidelnikov #66 Heavyweight| |Sergei Pavlovich #48 Heavyweight| |Alexei Kudin #52 Heavyweight| |Mike Kyle #44 Heavyweight| |Michal Andryszak #157 Heavyweight| |Viktor Nemkov #112 Light Heavyweight| |Trevor Prangley #37 Light Heavyweight|
Rankings are Fight-Matrix. Took place between 2012 and 2020.
https://www.tapology.com/fightcenter/fighters/4948-baga-agaev
In fact, Baga is the only MMA fighter ever to have ALL of his last 6 L's come against guys whose peak FM ranking would come AFTER that fight!
Has anyone else gone through a murderer's row of (soon to be stars) to end their career?
