Jesse Denis Joins Press Row

---

Every Wednesday, Administrative Editor Jordan Breen welcomes a member of the mixed martial arts media into “Press Row” on the Sherdog.com blog. This week, Breen is joined by Sherdog.com contributor Jesse Denis.

Holly Holm's brilliant and brutal dispatching of Ronda Rousey will assuredly stand as 2015's “Upset of the Year,” but where does it stack up with MMA's greatest upsets? Breen and Denis consider this question, reviewing Holm-Rousey from an upset perspective and placing it up against all-time crucial MMA upsets such as Georges St. Pierre and Matt Serra, the de facto greatest upset in the history of the sport.

Breen and Denis discuss what makes GSP-Serra 1 the “perfect” upset and discuss the different facets and flavors of different kinds of famous upsets, from the likes of Ryan Bader-Tito Ortiz to Fabricio Werdum-Fedor Emelianenko, Sherdog.com's previous “Upset of the Year” winners and the short-lived, strange success of Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou in 2007.

Grab your credential and get a seat in “Press Row.”
