Mark Kerr.

The guy could of had it all.



Exactly, i havent seen a fighter with as much potential as he had in years.

also i'd like to add Ruslan Karev.

he had so much potential in K-1 and showed flashes of brilliance, but they rushed him to the top dogs way to quick.

also Shogun, i wanted him to dominate the UFC, damn knee injury!

and lastly, Fedor, for not signing with the UFC.

Erm yeah thats not really on topic is it? He didnt say list all the fighters you can that have lost recently he means a prospect that didnt or hasnt yet fully accomplish/ed their full potential. But well done making a big pointless list

melvin guillard-the guy has potential, and although im not a big fan of his attitude, everything seems to be in place for this guy physically, but his head and heart are another story.

Melvin Guilllard, Krazy Horse, and Kevin Randleman- All are sickly and freakishly explosive and powerful guys. But their training method's are what has killed them. Everything else is in a beautiful place. Krazy Horse won't train period which gets me angry because he could easily challenge for a title since even though he does not train he has given some tough guys some real tough ass times. Randleman wouldn't put his career first and get to a quality camp soon enough even though he is now so he still has a shot at Gold! And Melvin just didn't train enough JJ but he is now so I think he could do some real damage in the future. SO NOT ALL IS LOST YET!!!

Shogun- I thought he was gonna destroy the UFC LHW division. But with that nagging knee injury, I'm afraid in all likelyhood, he is done.

Diego Sanchez- Was a beast until Staph had a big hand and handing him a loss against Kos, and then lost back to back with that loss to just the stronger Fitch. But his stand is at a good level and his ground game is just getting better and better so he ain't done yet, not by a long shot!

Ricco Rodriguez could have been the greatest heavyweight in UFC history.

Rashad evans, yes he's my fav.... i never watched TUF 2 but i did catch the finale and and when evans steped in the ring with imes i was so looking forward to a HUGE KO, then evans comes out and fights for his life i wus like damn then i didnt see him fight again till lambert, showed some skill GnP lambert for KO THEN the headkick on sean salmon is when he became my fav then it went downhill the tito fight was alright i think rashad couldve won if tito didnt grab the fence but the bisping fight completely dissapointed me and im hoping for a good outing vs liddel

These guys were bringing the highest level of skill in some of the main feeder sports for MMA. But, through lack of training, motivation or ability, they weren't able to showcase what they could do andall appear to be through with MMA almost as quickly as they began (maybe Garcia will fight on).

It seemed like David Terrell had some great potential.
