Who is your favorite "gatekeeper/journeyman" who became champion?

[BigMuffler]

KING (Bis) Ping, Rafael Dos Anjos or Robbie Lawler?

 

[TourIsOverBoyo]

Anderson Silva.

 

[ArtemV]

RDA for me.

 

[gorionn]

I don't have one, all gatekeepers > champions are awful.

 

[Wormwood]

Lawler. Awesome journey full of ups and downs... worked his way back to the biggest MMA organization and put on multiple FOTY candidates. Never talks shit. Just puts his heart into every fight while he was champ.

That's racist!

 

[Hammer House]

Matt Hughes

 

[A_bomb47]

Lawler. I never expected him to do so well after his mediocre run at middleweight in Strikeforce.

 

[Warh3z]

Donald Trump

 

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

Bisping for sure. The guy was good but now he's on another level. Cant wait for him to fight the top 3.

 

[mikebkr]

Bisping due to the improbability of him knocking out Rockhold.

 

[BRaVo cHoKe]

Lawler & Henderson (Strikeforce counts)

 

[Elmonstro1]

Lawler

 

[Neil'sMagny]

I agree with everyone else here that it's either Lawler or Bisping. Those are the two that stand out, in my opinion. Maia is the next one in line. I'm hoping he can be added to the list in 2017.

 

[LHWBelt]

Maybe he isn't a journeyman but I don't think many thought Forrest Griffin could ever win a belt. Him or Lawler.

This, but Lawler then Forrest for me.

 

[Bluntforce420]

Serra. Taking GSP out like that, classic

 

[puppybird]

Luke Rockhold

 

[Otto!]

Lawler hands down for me.

 

[illegalnature]

Woodley! Is that the answer?
