Anderson Silva, GSP, Chuck Liddell defended their titles consistently for years

[FlyThaiMMA]

While these new generation of fighters are lucky if they defend their title once a year

Props to Woolley for being active at least

 

[ThulsaDooom]

None of them were clean and Chuck's just taken a fight at nearly 50 years old.

 

[dildos]

anderson was on roids, and chuck was on coke.

gsp was the only saint.

 

[Pierced7681]

How many piss tests did they take

 

[Rygu]

Well that's part of what made them legends.

 

[JudoThrowFiasco]

GSP pulled out 3x from scheduled title fights, but otherwise was a smart fighter as far as training goes.

Chuck and Silva and probably most of the rest fought during a time certain recovery and cutting aides were less scrutinized

[Danespina]

DJ's been doing pretty well. Some minor shoulder surgeries and stuff like that, but consistently defending since 2013.

 

[Egészségére!]

Aldo, the last fw champion who was a true fw, defended 7 times in 3 1/2 years with no weight cut issues at all

this cutting 30 lbs shit has gotta stop

 

[Choco]

They'd better defend the belt back in the olden days. Rent don't pay itself.
