One of the most used clichés in MMA is that “anything that happen”; A fighter can land a clean knockout shot out of nowhere, an underdog can win a fight and a dominant champion can be dethroned.
Another big thing that can also happen is that fighters can go from having an good, but not great, career into a top fighter that is feared by most others in their division. We at Fight Of The Night found five such fighters we believe fit this criteria.
