Conor McGregor. I don't respect his record, because 50% of the people he fought were either 3-and-something in the UFC or short-notice opponents.
However, he won when he had to win against whoever was in front of him, and kept his hype train moving. It is not easy to do. A lot of hype trains have been derailed.
Yeah that made me sad. I think we all got caught up in the TUF hype.
I still maintain to this day that he needs Chael in his corner. Say what you will about Chael as a fighter, he brought out Hall's ruthless streak and kept him motivated. That's been missing, or at least inconsistent in his last few fights.
I have to agree with those who said McGregor and Elkins, and I'll add Sam Alvey to the list. Dude looks like he doesn't belong in the cage, but he has thunder in his hands.
