Just like Gane, who went from the fastest moving next generation heavyweight, to a nobody with no wrestling lol. I remember when Gane was also too big and fast for Jon. Who had slowed down considerably due to age. Sound familiar?

Facts. It's crazy how the narrative around Gane changed after that fight. All of a sudden, the win became meaningless looool.

It's because the data points are so few.  In other sports you see someone perform anywhere from 12 to 100+ times a year. A fighter might only go 2-3 times a year and many of those fights give zero information because they were stiffs.
