I don't really think the Rivera KO was all that surprising, he's no can.

I'd have the Griffin upset at 2.

tbh i think the forrest fight tops it and those other fights for the exception of belcher vs. day hardly seem like upsets at all. The way everyone was counting Griffin out and seeing as how it was the highest profile fight on this list it has to be #1

How can Cote-Almeida not be number one? Casual fans may have known Cote more but among those "in the know" we all expected Almeida to win this pretty easy. Did anyone other than Toxic pick Cote?

How in the world can the author of this list put Werdum over Gonzaga when Werdum had already beaten him previously?!?

That makes zero sense.

The majority of fans picked Cote to win, making Almeida the underdog. On facebook UFC Fantasy group, 80 percent picked Cote to win and 20 for Almeida. I picked Almeida to win but its hard to tell where he's at cause he hasnt fought in so long besides his mismatched fight with Yundt(Yundt lost his last fight at TUF Finale).
