The big sporting news of the week came this Tuesday, with Barcelona’s Champions League elimination to the less traditional—and less qualified—Chelsea, who go into the final to face Bayern Munich, the team that toppled the all-powerful Real Madrid. Just like in soccer, Jiu-Jitsu, MMA, submission wrestling, boxing and other arts have seen the favorites crumble against less celebrated opponents. That’s what makes it all so intriguing.

Who doesn’t remember Mike Tyson falling at the hands of James Buster Douglas, the biggest upset of the sweet science? Or top dog in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu at the time Wallid Ismail getting swept by the unknown Roberto Roleta at the 1996 World Championship?

GRACIEMAG.com scoured the Jiu-Jitsu annals and dug up five fights where the favorites are unseated by unlikely opposition. If you, gentle reader, recollect any other such battles, let us know in the comments field below.

O acontecimento esportivo da semana foi a eliminação, terça-feira, do Barcelona da Champions League, pelo menos tradicional (e menos qualificado) Chelsea, que fará a final com o Bayern de Munique, que também despachou o todo-poderoso Real Madrid. Como no futebol, o Jiu-Jitsu, o MMA, submission, boxe e outras artes já viram seus favoritos caírem para oponentes menos badalados. É a graça do esporte.

Quem não lembra de Mike Tyson sendo abatido por James Buster Douglas, na maior zebra da nobre arte, ou o astro do Jiu-Jitsu brasileiro à época, Wallid Ismail sendo raspado pelo desconhecido Roberto Roleta, no Mundial de 1996?

O GRACIEMAG.com revirou os arquivos do Jiu-Jitsu e pescou cinco lutas em que o leão foi comido pela zebra. Se o leitor lembrar de outros duelos, só comentar com a gente, logo abaixo.
