My Top 5 UFC Fighters Who Didn't Seize Their Oppotunities.

      Intro. 

The words seize the day, often gets overlooked, especially in MMA. But when fighters come in with a load of hype, or in some cases have a chance to enhance respect from fans, some fighters rise to the occassions, whilst others don't take their chances. In life, you only get one chance to make an impact. So in reality you must seize the day.

5. Gabe Rudiger.

This speaks for itself. If you're going to appear on the The ultimate fighter, then it's advised that you know what you're doing when it comes to cutting weight. Gabe was a standout in the WEC, becoming their Lightweight Champion. so he had a bit of fanfair. That quickly evaporated when he entered The Ultimate Fighter house, ate a load of cake. He missed weight for his fight against Corey Hill, and Dana swiftly kicked him off the show.

4. Michael Bisping UFC 100.

1 2, and he was done. After a coaching stint on The Ultimate Fighter UK vs USA, alongside Dan Henderson. Everything came to a head at UFC 100, when the pair faced each other, and what happened. After all of the trash was done on the show, and in the media. Hendo gave one to the chin of Bisping, in a moment that has been played for years on highlight reels.

BJ Penn UFC 137.

Now this is just all round sad. BJ Penn is one of the best Lightweight/Welterweights in the history of MMA. And his fight on this night against Nick Diaz, was a sad reminder that penns career should come to an end. Sometimes seizing the day, means knowing when enough is enough.

2. Tito Ortiz.

The Godfather of ground'n pound hasn't always had the best relationship with the UFC, from refusing to fight Chuck Liddell, his arguments with Dana White, being played out in public, to overall making dodgy decisions, that may not have hurt the sport, that was in it's infantcy, to stating that he's a businessman. Well if that's the case, then my name is Lord Sugar. Basically Tito hurt Tito.

1. Glover Taxiera.

Now don't get me wrong. I love Glover Teixiera, however his performance against Jon Jones at UFC 172, was a complete mismatch. Glover got dominated, and was made to look like an ametaur, by the former Light Heavyweight Champion. Glover at this point had been on a pretty impressive run of form, and then he came up against the goat.
