“Everything happens for a reason.”
It’s a cliche we’ve all heard before, and for MMA fighters, it often means fans are treated to a laundry list of excuses following an unimpressive performance.
Some nights a fighter just simply isn’t the better man. Everyone loses, we as fans understand that our favorite fighters can’t win every time and even the worst fighter has a puncher’s chance.
What we fans don’t understand is why fighters continuously make excuses following losses in their career or make an outlandish claim after a poor showing. The reasons may even be true like legitimate injuries, but it often times feels like just another excuse for a loss.
Legitimate claims or not, the men on this list are notorious for their excuse making in their careers.
