All good choices, so this was a tough one to pick. Went with Cung Le, since that was the most memorable.

I think he's also the guy I'd be least likely to pick in a rematch, which to me makes it a bigger upset, but it really might just mean it was a bigger fluke. Depends how you look at it I guess.

I have to go with Cung.

I can;t think of one person who had Le winning this one, but he did, and it was also my KO of the year.

Le over Franklin.

I called Yagin (tooting one's horn), so that wasn't an upset to me.

Boetsch.

Going in I thought Okami was going to win, and he had it almost sewn up. And then Boetsch smashed his face in with crazy upper cuts.

I went with Nam-Dantas. That wasn't quite Serra-GSP, but it was close. Dantas only had one real loss which was even kind of questionable, with W's over Betao, West, Vila, Ogikubo, Makovsky, and Reis. Nam was 11-4 with no wins of note.

All these other guys have other quality wins on their record. Look at Varner, who stomped Cerrone pretty good the 1st time, and Cowboy is quite a bit better than Barboza.
