5 UFC fighters who've had a forgettable 2019

#3 Darren Till

UFC Fight Night Till v Masvidal

Darren Till is one of the top fighters in the UFC. A year ago, he was seen to be one of the best fighters with amazing potential, so much so, that he was scheduled to fight against Tyron Woodley. However, that fight might have come too soon and he lost. Since then, he has been on a downward spiral.

In his next fight in 2019, he faced none other than Jorge Masvidal. Unfortunately for him, he was knocked out in the second round. He then went on vacation to the Canary Islands, where, he had not only trashed a hotel but also stolen a cab that was going to take him to the next location. He was fined £10,000 for that incident.

#2 Ben Askren

UFC 239 Masvidal v Askren

Another fighter who did not have a good 2019 was Ben Askren. The then-undefeated fighter made his UFC debut in 2019 when he faced Robbie Lawler. Although he was able to win the fight, it was under controversial circumstances, with Lawler saying that the referee had ended the fight too early, and others agreeing with him.

He then faced Jorge Masvidal at UFC 239, a fight he will forever live to regret. He was not only unable to win, but he also lost the fight in a matter of 5 seconds, with Masvidal hitting him with a flying knee that knocked him out on the spot and handed him the first loss of his professional MMA career.
