Florian certainly makes the short list of best without a title. Lots of the tuf1 crowd does: Sanchez, and Koscheck. Jon Fitch deserves mention too. Chris Lytle.

I decided to figure out who the most active UFC champions have been: The "loss to end?" column counts the fight where the champ lost the belt (and is 0 for fighters who are active, relinquished, or were stripped). Kinda interesting I guess. That Jones has been so active is probably the best thing about him. E. If Anderson gets credit for fighting at 205 and vs Lutter he goes to 163.8; Max goes to 185 for his fight vs Poirier. Nunes goes to 222 if she gets credit for the Cyborg fight. e.e. And if we do the same for Matt Hughes's second run (counting non-title fights while champ) he has 5 fights in 757 days, for 151.4 days/fight CommonShore fucked around with this message at 22:15 on Mar 5, 2020 |

Macksy posted:I don't think trying to "get under" Khabib's skin will ever work. He seems very calm and focused and the trash talk didn't help McG beat him. Counterpoint - Conor's trash talk was obvious and racist, and easy to dismiss, wheras Tony's trash talk is abstract and absurd, and likely to leave Khabib wondering if there was some part of it he doesn't fully understand.

It took Demian Maia 7 years and a 7 fight win streak to get his second title shot, and he did about 10x as much in his fight vs Silva as Romero did on Saturday. and then he blew it all again by doing nothing e. imo the only way that Romero is getting another shot at a belt is by being a late replacement vs Jon Jones.

LobsterMobster posted:what was yalls journey into this dumb sport? Starting the 80s I was into Kung Fu movies, WWE, and Judo. One of my friends had a subscription to Black Belt magazine. Once I started getting my hands on UFC poo poo I was completely and totally hooked. It was really difficult for me to follow during the dark ages, so I just would watch whatever tapes I could rent or buy. I got into following it really closely at around the time of Couture-Sylvia, and by the end of 2008 I was a full-on MMA weirdo doing poo poo like watching distorted Affliction streams to keep up. TUF was on my radar but TV wasn't my bag, and I was pretty much always at work when it aired.

A Salty Affair posted:Being a Canadian I kept hearing whispers about some fighter named GSP. I had just stopped watching wrestling and my friend was telling me how GSP had lost to Serra but that he would definitely win the rematch so I watched UFC 83 with him and was immediately hooked. This is also why GSP is still my all time favourite mma fighter. The loudest bar I've ever been in was in a heavily french neighbourhood in Ottawa for GSP-Fitch

oh loving yes I needed this. the only downside is we're never going to get to see Jones have the piss beaten out of him. the upside is that his career is going to end on so many asterickses if the Santos fight and the Reyes fight - gift Ws in different ways - are the last two.
