Well
There are a lot of reasons that people lose. You can be a superior fighter and lose pretty easily. Anyone can get caught, if that happens that is pretty much it. There are also variations in rules and different strategies to use in different rings.
Also in comparison to boxing, upsets will always happen more in MMA. For one, once you are knocked down, you get no recovering time. Your opponent just pounces on you and if you are slightly disoriented, you are in a bad way very quickly.
Cro cop has lost before and he has also avenged himself before. When this happened, was he just horrible and learned a lot in the intervening time?
