Yep, he’s the speedo guy. But he’s so much more! He was super legit but nobody knows him other than the speedo. For example:
At Extreme Challenge 21, in his 3rd fight of the night, he subbed Matt friggin Hughes in 17 seconds in R1! Then in his UFC debut at UFC 29, he subbed Matt friggin Hughes in 20 seconds in R1 He’s the only fighter other than George St. Pierre and B.J. Penn to defeat former UFC Welterweight Champion Matt Hughes) twice. Fought Jens Pulver at UFC 33 for the UFC Lightweight Championship. Beat Karo Parisyan, who was WEC 170LB champ and beat Nick Diaz, Chris Lytle and Phil Baroni Beat John Makdessi at UFC 140: Jones vs. Machida. Makdessi is STILL in UFC, with 11 wins and his last fight in Sep Beat Delson Heleno in 2006. Nelson went on to win 30 pro MMA fights (30-11), more than Jon Jones, GSP or Khabib Dan Hornbuckle: Hallman beat him in 2013. 10 years later, Hornbuckle is still fighting! Hornbuckle now HAS 26 WINS
Dennis Hallman has 53 pro wins. GSP and Jon Jones have 53 wins COMBINED. Where’s the respect for the speedo man! Was this truly MMA’s biggest mistake ? his whole career is summed up by one blue speedo
