It’s a fact that the most successful athletes in sports are usually the sorest losers. Failure confuses them and leaves them feeling totally broken. It produces feelings of frustration and self-loathing that they release in ways they may later regret.<\/p>\n

However, it’s a fact that not all sore losers are equal. Sometimes we can accept a negative reaction in front of the media as sheer emotion and passion all swirled up together. But there are still rules like don’t throw all of the blame on a teammate or start a fight<\/a>. Then you have the offenders who make everyone roll their eyes.<\/a><\/p>\n

Please note this isn’t a hit piece. Some people do dumb things when they’re emotional but their success justifies their unaccustomed pain. Winner’s have a winner’s mentality and hate losing so much that they can be awful to be around when it happens. But some people just go completely over-the-top and are delusional or lacking class. So today, we’re going to check out the 30 sorest losers in the history of sports. Check out the list below via The Richest.<\/a><\/p>\n

30. Nick Diaz<\/h3>\n

UFC fighter Diaz has never forgiven Georges St-Pierre for beating him in Montreal. The Stockton, California, native fought the welterweight legend at UFC 158 in 2013. In the end, ‘GSP’ won a clear decision but Diaz never accepted that they fought on an even playing field. Years later, he continues to grumble about the circumstances around the fight and even accused St-Pierre of poisoning his I.V.<\/p>\n

Diaz claimed that this affected his weight cut and prevented him from performing at his best level. Overall, he’s just one of the worst losers in MMA because this makes no sense at all. ‘Rush’ was the better man on the day, it’s as simple as that. Some fans even believe that Diaz suffers CTE symptoms because his claims are so outrageous. However, perhaps St-Pierre is an evil mastermind and we never realized he was.<\/p>\n

29. Christina Linardatou<\/h3>\n

Greek boxer Linardatou fought Katie Taylor in 2019. However, her Irish opponent, the unified lightweight champion of the world, had far too much class and won a title in her second weight division. Did Linardatou accept defeat on the chin? No, of course she didn’t. In fact, she called Taylor ‘fake’ and claimed that she hadn’t won either of her past two fights.<\/p>\n

Now we all know that boxing is one of the most corrupt sports on the planet. But anybody who thought Linardatou beat Taylor needs some help. Taylor did fight a very close match against Belgium’s Delfine Persoons, and many felt that she was lucky to get the decision. However, she clearly won their rematch. In sum, Linardatou just added her names to the ranks of poor losers who embarrassed themselves.<\/p>\n

28. Mike Tyson<\/h3>\n

Biting somebody’s ear off will ensure disqualification from a boxing match. Tyson fought Evander Holyfield for the second time in 1997 when this dramatic moment occurred. Holyfield won the first fight by a late TKO and was confident before the second match. He put pressure on Tyson who responded by biting Holyfield’s ear in the third round. The referee docked him two points and the fight continued.<\/p>\n
