Note: We have two ways that we derive biggest “upsets” based on points difference between winner and loser.
“Most Noteworthy” (X minus Y)
“Most Lopsided” (X divided by Y)
Most Noteworthy: Luke Rockhold TKO(4) Chris Weidman
While not a huge upset by betting odds, Weidman had amassed nearly a 1,000 point lead over Rockhold in the rankings.
Honorable Mentions: Alistair Overeem TKO(2) Junior dos Santos, Uriah Hall TKO(2) Gegard Mousasi, Frank Mir TKO(1) Antonio Silva
Most Lopsided: Uriah Hall TKO(2) Gegard Mousasi
This fight is more truer to the definition of an actual “upset” than the one above, but this is why we slice this award in two different ways.
