There are multiple fights I take into account when I think about this topic, but only one stands out above the others.
The biggest upset of my career would have to be facing Ryan Hughes. Ryan and I were long rivals at this point, with countless times of me defeating him. We were always at each other's throats, and the outcome never changed I stayed consistently better than him until that fateful day. RedStarX was just established, and we were set out to search for new members to join. MG, MistGlider, and I were in Refuge all looking for spars at the time Mist and I were equal in skill we went back and forth on who would win. There was a man named cHiNaToWn452 who wanted to spar MG. MG told him he had to spar me first. I'm naturally nervous against people I don't know, just like MG is the same way. So not knowing this fighter what he had to offer I at first underestimated him just thinking he was a simple random; though he proved otherwise. This kid ousted me in front of my clan 5-1'd me in my best style. There was nothing I could do after he was already beating me down with nervousness accompanying. If that wasn't enough he went on to defeat MistGlider as well, only to get smashed by MG flawlessly. Which in turn was probably a big upset for him on the very same day moments later. After this I dodged Ryan for about a week, every time he asked to spar I declined. I went into training mode to redeem myself. After roughly 1 week I defeated Ryan Hughes and haven't lost to him since. Ryan remains a great fighter til this day ever since then.
Fights I considered for biggest upsets:
Losing to Cloud Filth in T2. Reason for not biggest: I beat him in the rematch right after and never lost to him again.
Losing to Lance in T2. Reason for not biggest: It was painfully obvious that he cheated, I didn't even have to call it the entire room did it for me. He would later blame a lag issue due to torrents, after I had already asked if he was running torrents with his answer being no. This is the only time I've lost to him.
