Brett Rogers
He came in hot and burned his way through fights in EliteXC and Strikeforce. Arlovski was his biggest win during this streak. Then he had his head exploded by Fedor. After that he went on a losing streak with several losses, including a sub loss to Josh Barnett and a TKO to Alistair Overeem. Outside of the cage, he also had some weird shit going on (arrests for domestic assault and sexual misconduct). The train fell totally off the tracks when it was reported in 2017 that he was thought to be homeless. "Da Grim's" last fight in a major organization (decision loss to Volkov, Bellator 75) was in 2012, and he hasn't had a pro fight since 2015. His record stands at 17-10-1, having mixed results in smaller orgs in his last 10 fights.
Erick Silva
After a solid run in Jungle Fight, Silva made his way to the UFC. He was positioned to become the new Brazilian star. He's never been able to regain the steam he had since Fitch but a beatdown on him, and he's had mixed results in the Octagon ever since that 2012 fight. He's racked up losses to most of the bigger names hes fought, including Dong Hyun Kim, Matt Brown, Neil Magny, Yancy Medeiros, and Jordan Mein. He also appears to be one of the USADA casualties.
Brandon Thatch
He came in to the UFC with a 9-1 record, with all wins being first round finishes. He started his UFC run with a couple nice finishes of Justin Edwards and Paulo Thiago. He was then scheduled against Wonderboy, but Thompson had to withdraw. This led Brandon to a short notice fight against Henderson, who was stepping up to welterweight after a very successful run at lightweight. Thatch lost by RNC in the fourth round, and lost his next three fights. He sits on a 4 fight losing streak and hasn't fought since 2016.
