The only man with top 5 wins in 3 weight classes!

[Fioretti]

• Hayato Sakurai - WW
• Multiple - MW
• Forrest Griffin - LHW

PS: Hendo doesn't have top 5 wins in 3 divisions. He, Frankie, Pettis, and Vitor are the only ones who come close, but nobody else makes the cut. Spider Bless.

 

[rear naked ankle pick]

he has more top 3 wins in 3 divisions than khabib has in one

Anderson bless

 

[B-Level]

Anderson is such a legend. You’d have to be a real nerd to not appreciate his highlight reel and accomplishments.

Henderson beat Big Nog. Big Nog started his career 28-3 with his only losses to Fedor (x2) and Hendo. He was top 5.

He also KTFO Fedor, who even on a two fight losing streak would still be ranked top 5, if rankings like we have today existed back then.

In conclusion, Hendo is a bad ass

 

[SmoothPies]

Cool Stat TS!
I bet Frankie Edgar comes close

Edit- I think he qualifies:

LW: multiple
FW: Mendez
BW: Munhoz (ranked #5 when they fought)

 

[TR1]

Also has losses to cans in all 3 division too.

This. Hendo has top 5 wins in 3 divisions too. Not sure why ts discredits this.

 

[VinceArch]

He isn't the only man lol.

 

[AbominableJoman]

And Forrest being top 5 win lmfao.

Well said

 

[this is my new account]

And Forrest being top 5 win lmfao.

Forrest just lost his belt in his previous fight. So he would have had a #1 next to his name in todays mma

Oooooh. I'll have to check on this when I return. Nice catch. Thanks, bro!

Hendo has better wins.

 

[Reign009]

There are a couple others. None the less, very impressive.

You could even say he has top 2 wins in three different weight classes.

Sakurai was P4P #1 at the time, I believe.

Fedor wasn't top5 when Hendo beat him.

But have you seen the gif of Silva demolishing him? There is no way Forrest can be top 5 after you have watched that gif 100 times. /s

Minor edit..

 

[Fesaine]

Frankie did it much better.

Lightweight champ despite being heavily undersized.

Beat multiple top contenders in FW.

And beat Munhoz in BW.

This. Hendo has top 5 wins in 3 divisions too. Not sure why ts discredits this.

He beat Nog in Nog's 7th pro fight. He was not ranked yet, let alone top 5. Fedor fell off the rankings and was not top 5 when he beat him either.

No disrespect to Hendo at all. He actually has wins in 4 weightclasses, just not top 5 wins in 3 or more.
