Major MMA upsets that ended via sub

[La Paix]

What are they? I really can't think of any. All the big upsets are KOs off the top of my head.

Serra KO GSP
Holm KO Rousey
Bisping KO Rockhold

And so on...

Even upsets ending in UD aren't too common iirc. First one I can think of is Cody putting a clinic on Dom.

Great example.

Tito Bader was awesome. First time in years I was happy for him.

The rest I get but not near the level of Serra GSP KO.

Werdum > Cain
Chonan > Silva
Aurelio > Gomi

Werdum subbing Cain wasn't a major upset at all IMO.

 

[MMAHAWK]

Mark Hominick’s triangle win over Yves Edwards at UFC 58 was massive at the time.

Fair enough I had Werdum too because of Cain going to Mexico City so late, but looks like Cain was as high as -700

Cain smokes Werdum anywhere from 0-3,000 feet above sea level

Oh shit, I forgot about that one! I need to go rewatch that fight.

I think BJ vs GSP was on the same card...but don't quote me on that

Chael came in as the underdog and lost though. Pretty sure he did at least.
