Bandwagon Rankings!!!

In order for a fighter to qualify to have his own bandwagon, he has to be a fighter who holds the current title of most outstanding sherdogger (or any typical MMA fan) nuthuggery until he loses and no one talks about anymore because they have jumped on to the new bandwagon for the guy he loses to. (Guys like Wand, Saku, Couture, Hughes dont qualify because their fan bases are pretty loyal.)

The current bandwagons that are the most crowded and have the most potential jumpers are as follows:

1. Sokoudjou

2. Gonzaga

The previous most crowded bandwagons back in '06 were:

1. Chuck Liddell

2. Rich Franklin

3. Andrei Arlovski

4. GSP

Some other memorable bandwagons were Phil Baroni's bandwagon full of fellow sherdog sack huggers heading into the Frank Shamrock fight. Whatever happened to all of the "WAR NYBA!" threads that filled up these boards???

Also, Babalu's bandwagon heading into the Chuck Liddell rematch was bumpin' pretty hard last summer!

Feel free to rank the all time classic bandwagons!!

Diaz has a pretty large cult following.

yeah I was thinking about mentioning him after his 3 consecutive "go back to the WEC" losses in the UFC to the immediate stardom redemption victory over Takanori Gomi.

in the lead up and aftermath of chuck's loss Rampage has gotten ALLOT of Support and Bandwagon,

i remember one thread that had you pick the next 3 lhw title fights and allot of people had Rampage win all 3 fights lol (including me)

actually, here it goes anyway

1. Rampage-Hendo: Rampage
2. Rampage-Griffin: Rampage
3. Rampage-Evans: Rampage
4. Rampage-Shogun: Rampage

and so one, so forth

I think the biggest bandwagon crashes in recent history are:

Royce Gracie (not due to his fighting but because of the roids)
Phil Baroni (all the trash talk for losing and also testing positive)
GSP (a lot true and knowledgable fans remain loyal though)
Cro Cop ("" "")
Tyson Griffin (first loss)
Diego Sanchez (first loss)
Rashad Evans (first "draw")
Chuck (losing to Rampage again)
Andrei Arlovski (Sylvia x2)
Gomi (gogo'd by a stoned Diaz!)
