Because some of you are lexically impaired, I'll start with a definition of the word fluke:

fluke [fluk]

noun

  1. an accidental advantage; stroke of good luck: He got the job bya fluke.
  2. an accident or chance happening.
And now for the flukiest wins ever:
  • Nate-Conor 1
  • Mir-Lesnar 1
  • Serra-GSP 1
  • JDS-Cain 1

What else?
Conor vs nate I think conor trusted his power too much and outworked himself. Although he hit an awesome sweep on diaz earlier when he shot that desperation takedown after getting rocked with a 1-2 he was fucked. I think nate won more than that fight. He made him gas, rocked him and then forced conor to shoot in on a vastly superior grappler. Conor also gave up that choke without fighting the wrist. Rumble and conor both gave their necks to get out fights IMO.
I think nate could beat him again in similar fashion so i dont belive its a fluke

Mir vs lesnar was skill over aggression. The rematch brock made sure he had a better position and was more calculated. He was real green in the first fight not many people can fight a guy like mir in their 2nd or 3rd fight and be successful

Gsp v serra I agree is a little flukey i guess just cause serra was undersized and not much of a ko threat. I enjoyed that fight immensely and iirc georges tapped to strikes as the ref was about to stop it. Frenchie waving the white flag is ironic

Jds vs cain was no fluke. Cain is chinny and i know everyone will disagree but its true. Watch his fight against kongo who is not really a devastating striker. Almost everytime cain gets hit hes hurt bad but recovers like a kardashian after multiple plastic surgerys. I know rematches went different but a boxer with ko power hits you with a punch hes trained for years isnt a fluke imo. And soon as cain hit the floor he started to recover until JDS whacked his ass again

My fluke would be nearly all of ortegas wins and gathjes win over a top 15 ranked michael johnson

I agree with the first part of this. Conor punched himself out thinking he'd knock Nate out, which wasn't unreasonable because Conor had knocked out nearly all of his previous opponents.

But I disagree that Nate could ever beat Conor again. Maybe if Conor came into the fight as unprepared as he was the first time, but that simply isn't going to happen.

At 155, with the extra weight Nate has to cut, Conor puts him to sleep in one of the first two rounds.

The way I look at the Conor/Nate thing is that sometimes you get a guy that is just a bad style matchup for another guy and gives him fits for whatever reason. Nate has an amazing chin and is very tough to get out of there, so he's going to be a tough matchup for Conor no matter how many times they fight. But I don't see Nate beating Conor again - Nate is going to be the same fighter every time. Conor is the guy who is going to get better.

Here we go.... This bitch ass ho DTNH creates ANOTHER thread to talk about his other crush Conor (obviously HIS president is his first crush)... I swear, that motherfucker must play Conor press conference highlights as he bangs his gimp HVD in the ass.

Now in the sense of fluke wins, Pete Sell vs Scott Smith is as flukey as it comes.

No way man. That shot was timed and as well placed as any great KO. If he had his back turned and swung blindly then that's one thing but he had him lined up for a big hail Mary and it worked, not a fluke!

Dont troll me bro. I think conor wins 2/3 but nate could easily sub him again or tko him late. If nate gets mount or back control or possibly even top half guard he wins

steve jennum ufc 3, shonie carter/ sera,
Do I have a different definition of fluke than most here? If you tell yourself "I'm gonna back spin fist this guy" and it lands how is that a fluke? Risky attack no doubt but he did it with the intent to hurt or stop his opponent and it worked, NOT A FLUKE!

If that were even possible Nate would have done it in R5 of their second fight.

Conor is going to knock Nate out if they fight at 155.

But nates well rounded besides wrestling. Conor is a striker so he has to catch up not nate

I call it a fluke because Serra is considered the better fighter and he was taken out by what was then a flashy hardly used technique. props to shonie though. He was a cagey dude at times. Kinda reminds me of the wrestler Norman Smiley. His move was "the Wiggle."

If my aunt had a dick she'd be my uncle.

They both trained for a 5R fight.
Nate was in a position to kill Conor in the first fight.

Conor won on points in the second fight and had to resort to turning his back multiple times to get a rest.


Nate is still up on Conor.
