6. Humberto Brown / MMA Fighter
Unlike Travis Wolford who gained a new fight monicker after his cringe-worthy accident, featherweightHumberto Brown from Panama City already had the perfect name. This proved to be true on November 15, 2014, when Humberto faced Gabriel Benitez in an undercard fight for UFC 180 held at the Arena Ciudad de México in Mexico City. Benitez dominated Brown by technically submitting him via a standing guillotine choke in the thirtieth second of the third round. But even before the referee could stop the fight, it seems that something within Brown had already surrendered; a telling brown spot could clearly be seen on the back of his blue shorts.
5. Mikael Ekvall / Marathon Runner
After the 2008 Göteborg half-marathon, Sweden’s Micke Ekvall was nicknamed “bajsmannen,” which translates to “poop man.” He had finished the race at 21st, and photographs of him with a grimace on his face and brown liquid gushing down his legs immediately went viral after that. Surprisingly, however, Ekvall has remained positive about the experience. When asked, “Did you ever consider stopping to clean off?” he answered, “No, I’d lose time. If you quit once, it’s easy to do it again and again and again.” And since then, the resilient runner has accomplished much more; in 2014, he set the national record for Sweden at the Copenhagen half-marathon.
