The UFC is undoubtedly the world’s biggest MMA promotion. So, it stands to reason that it’s hard for any fighter to remain there if they find themselves on a bad losing streak.Despite this, over the years we have seen a handful of examples of fighters who were kept on by the UFC despite a bad losing streak, and who somehow managed to turn things around eventually. View this post on Instagram Instagram PostSome of these fighters found themselves right back in the losing circle after managing to win one bout, but even more incredibly, some ended up revitalizing their careers altogether.Here are five UFC fighters who were able to end long losing streaks.#5. Robbie Lawler vs. Nick Diaz – UFC 266Robbie Lawler's win over Nick Diaz in 2021 was his first since 2017When Robbie Lawler’s reign as UFC welterweight champion came to an end at the hands of Tyron Woodley in the summer of 2016, few fans would’ve expected his fall from grace to be quite as dramatic as it turned out to be.‘Ruthless’ smartly took a year off to regroup following the knockout defeat and returned in the summer of 2017 to outpoint Donald ‘Cowboy’ Cerrone in an excellent showing that suggested he was back to his best. However, it would prove to be his final win for over four years.Lawler’s next fight saw him beaten badly by Rafael dos Anjos, who took advantage of ‘Ruthless’ suffering a knee injury to abuse him with strikes for five straight rounds. The former champ again found himself on the shelf, and by the time he returned, he didn’t look like the same fighter.Sure, his loss to Ben Askren in early 2019 was shrouded in controversy, as referee Herb Dean appeared to have stopped the contest prematurely. However, there was no controversy in Lawler’s losses to Colby Covington and Neil Magny – ‘Ruthless’ was simply outgunned.For all intents and purposes, his career at the top of the promotion appeared to be over. However, after taking another year off to recover, Lawler returned last September to defeat old rival Nick Diaz via third-round TKO.ESPN MMA@espnmmaRobbie Lawler evens the score with Nick Diaz at #UFC266@Ruthless_RL wins by TKO when Nick Diaz couldn't get back to his feet.3036342Robbie Lawler evens the score with Nick Diaz at #UFC266@Ruthless_RL wins by TKO when Nick Diaz couldn't get back to his feet. https://t.co/UHmEqYkPUbWhether this win will revitalize Lawler’s career is debatable – ‘Ruthless’ didn’t look great per say, Diaz simply looked very rusty – but the fact that he was able to snap such a horrible losing streak was impressive nonetheless.
