Default Biggest Upset

There has been some huge upsets in the past month and a half or so. Which one do you think was the biggest?

For myself it is a toss-up between Gomi/Diaz and Lambrat over Sobral.

Diaz dropped down to LW and had a war with Gomi before submitting him with a beatuiful gogoplatta.

Lambrat has an abosulte war with Sobral also. Like Diaz survives the early rush to take control and KO the same man who beat Shogun.

Oh yea, Couture and Syliva... I really cant decide.

Sokoudjou over Nogeuira and Lee over Wiuff come to mind. James Lee is kind of a question mark, I wonder if Pride will actually push him?

The Diaz-Gomi fight actually didn't shock me, I was a little surprised though. The Lambert knockout was stunning, but Babalu came in with his hands down over and over again. The Couture dismantling of Sylvia is the biggest upset in my mind (Lil Nog getting KO'd in 8 sec was shocking too), maybe a sub or getting him in a position against the fence and TKO but to dominate for 25 minutes was absolutely incredible.

i agree... hendo over wandy isnt a shock, diaz over gomi was a shock but not to much...babalu just looked like shit so no shock there...

so i say lil nog being koed, but i also gotta go with randy over timmay...people wanted randy to win but no one expected it, or at least i didnt it was great too see...

Just another thought, has there ever been this many major upsets in such a short span of time in MMA? I really can not recall anytime when this many underdogs managed to pull off wins.

lil nog and babalu (my two favorite fighters) fights were the biggest upsets


randy DOMINATING tim in all aspects of mma is a big upset too
