BJJ at 82 and a guillotine on debut
The Funch finish came in the second round of his UFC debut, with a guillotine at 1:48. James Wilks lost to him on all three cards four months later. Roberts did too in April 2011. He lost only twice as a professional.
Kickboxing at 68 and a short run in the UFC
Ebersole's split decision was his first UFC loss and his last UFC fight. He was due to fight James Head at UFC 149 in July 2012 and withdrew with an injury. He did not fight in the octagon for two years afterward, and in 2014 he sought a spot on the UFC 174 card in Vancouver. A stronger striker in another slot makes up the difference.
