Okay, this thread was a bit difficult to name but I think the title captures the essence of this game:
Let's try to find the most weight classes spanning victory links we can. Any weight over 265lbs will be rounded to 265 which is the heavyweight limit in the UFC.
Example: Kevin Burns 170lbs defeated Frank Mir 262lbs in 6 years through 3 fights.
Kevin Burns (170lbs) TKO Anthony Johnson (170lbs) 2009
Anthony Johnson (205lbs) DEC Andrei Arlovski (205lbs) 2013
Andrei Arlovski (241lbs) DEC Frank Mir (262lbs) 2015
As you see, I found a victory link that spans 92lbs and 3 fights in a matter of 6 years. Can you beat me? Priority goes # of lbs first, # of fights second and # of years last. The fewer fights you have to accomplish as much of a weight difference as you can, the better. The less time it takes, the better. If someone finds a victory link that is identical to mine in weight difference, but happened in one less year, he wins. If it happened in 2 fights instead of 3, he wins. That's how the game works. Now let's see who comes up with the biggest link. If you can keep it in the UFC only, all the better. My example has a WSOF fight but you guys can do better!
Took me 5 minutes to come up with my example so I'm sure some very educated MMA fans can quickly remember fighters that went up in weight classes and possibly elongated the victory link of another fighter.
When posting your findings, do as in my example and hotlink the lines to the appropriate fights for checking.
SCOREBOARD (will update based on user posts and link to them):
#1: WeirdFacts - Kevin Burns x Frank Mir - 92lbs - 3 fights - 6 years. NOT ALL UFC
#2: Bmurray - Zulu x Dan Henderson - 58lbs - 2 fights - 5 years 7 months. NOT ALL UFC.
