UFCThe Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is a U.S.-based mixed martial arts organization, recognized as the largest MMA promotion in the world. The UFC is headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada and is owned and operated by Zuffa, LLC. This promotion is responsible for solidifying the sport's postion in the history-books.
UFC is currently undergoing a remarkable surge in popularity, along with greater mainstream media coverage. UFC programming can now be seen on FOX, FX, and FUEL TV in the United States, as well as in 35 other countries worldwide.
Also Frye got sucker punched and he was literally wavering drunk.
I remember him getting sucker punched as well. It was hard to see in the video I believe (I haven't seen it in forever) but I think he acted like they weren't gonna fight and then got hit. And yeah he was piss drunk.
There are also lots of rumors about the two of them fighting in a parking lot another time but no video can be found as far as i know.

I highly doubt a trained fighter will lose to some random in a street fight, George was knocked out by Pearson's boxing coach, not exactly some guy at a bar, all the examples you listed except Frye were guys getting beat up by other pro fighters.
A boxing coach is not a trained professional MMA fighter, or even a professional boxing fighter. He should not beat an mma fighter in a street fight

Those stories of Bas, Overeem, War Machine, Huerta and Chuck are great, but they are to be expected of top UFC fighters and champions.
It is the stories of UFC fighters losing that upset me.

He was a tournament champion, but you're right he's not hall of famer I got him mixed up with Dan Severn, but he should be in the hall of fame.
Nah, pretty sure the Lee Murray story is true. The only guy that's ever denied it happened is Tito. Matt Hughes mentioned the incident in his awful, awful book.

This, its also the same night Chuck calmy took off his watch then proceded to knock everybody out.
You forgot the part where he calmly took his watch off then started knocking people out...lolz! I could see it already.
I want to believe the Overeem story real badly where the bouncers attacked his brother and he came back to help em. Two vs five or so. Apparently all bouncers went to the hospital.
The last brawl I remember reading was Junie Browning in Thailand. He looked like he got the bad end of it.
Film on Lee Murray should be damn interesting.

When UFC fighters are reported to get beat in street fights (unprofessional events) does it hurt the legitimacy of the sport?
recently it was reported George was knocked out after punched Ross Pearson's boxing coach Erin Beach (who is a boxer). I am also aware it's a rumored story
Similar stories come to mind:
Don Frye (UFC champion and hall of famer) getting knocked out by a bodyguard (though he was drunk)
Tito Ortiz (former UFC champion) getting knocked out by Lee Murray
Wanderlei was reported to get knocked out by Krazy Horse (a lightweight) when he was pride champion, after being choked out by same sized Cristiano Marcello
I'm sure there's more but that's off the top of my head...
Do these kind of stories hurt the sport (where a pure boxer beats an MMA fighter in a street fight) or do they get written off as in "anything can happen in a fight"?
It definetly hurt my respect for Don, Tito, Wand and George
