Before end of career, which fighters do you want to have reached the title?

[schlooker]

Some fighters never reach gold and others do, and following their careers its obvious its more important to certain fighters to at least have reached the top just once.
And as a fan you sympathize with some fighters to make it, even if its just for one fight.

A couple who made it:

Cormier. Im not sure he´ll ever beat jones, but I was glad he found a way to the title.

Hendricks. Got a bad rep nowadays, but after the StPierre-fight I really wanted him to get another chance.

Lawler. After a long career he finally reached gold, was well deserved.



Some that hasn't yet:

Gustafsson. He was so close two times, would really like to see him wear it once.

Benavidez. Tried at 135 and came up short, tried at 125 and came up short. And now it might be too late, but if MM moves up he might still have a chance.



And of course there are some that never did.

Chris Lytle comes to mind.


With fighters do you want to see have the title before their careers are over?

 

[ortizgnp]

Stefan Struve deserves it even just for a minute.

Other than that?

Interim doesn't count.

 

[Spookv]

Matt Brown.

 

[SirKratos]

Gustafsson, damn it.

He was real close twice.

 

[ThulsaDooom]

Matt Brown.

This man right here as well as Condit and the Diaz brothers.

 

[BokaBokte]

Condit, Arlovski, Belfort, Nate or Nick Diaz.

None of them will manage to do it, but one can hope.

 

[FrontNakedChoke]

Korean Zombie, Stepen Thompson, Yair Rodriguez

 

[FrontNakedChoke]

Condit, Arlovski, Belfort, Nate or Nick Diaz.

None of them will manage to do it, but one can hope.

Condit probably has the best chance. Would love to see him get the belt.

 

[Lost Dragon]

'Chris Lytle comes to mind.'
Him and Mike Pyle .
Carlos.
Nick or Nate would have been fun for a while.
Arlovski.

 

[megaton]

In order of Weight Class:
Hunt or Overeem, Rumble, Belfort, Nick or keep Lawler, Khabib, Edgar, Almedia, and keep mighty mouse for 125
For females, Cyborg, Keep Tate, and Rose

 

[13Seconds]

Germaine de randamie Alexander Gustafsson

 

[Electrifyin1]

The Reem so he can complete the collection

Would also have liked to have seen Chael hold the belt just so he could say he did and he could've made good on that promise he made to his dad

 

[ALAN PARTRIDGE]

Ken Shamrock

 

[thobra]

Would love to see BJ make another run. Yes, serious. Bash away.

Happy with Werdum, Robbie and Rockhold. These guys have been very underrated for years, so they deserved it. Nate or Nick would also be good.

 

[Dart Feld]

Strictly UFC title

Reem
Jacare
Rory
Michael Johnson
Bermudez
Faber
Horiguchi

Glad Tate won the UFC BW title though a bit bittersweet
Rose Namajunas

Call me optimistic but I think at least half of those will pull it off before it's all said and done.

 

[FrontNakedChoke]

Hunto or The Reem at HW.

 

[FadeLess]

Hunt
Mousasi
Frankie
Mayday
Condit
Rory
Stephen
shiet ... and i dont even want Lawler to loose ... WW´s make my head spin

 

[wilKO]

Bisping.

 

[Brockster]

Condit, Arlovski, Belfort, Nate or Nick Diaz.

None of them will manage to do it, but one can hope.

Well both Belfort and Arlovski have been champions. But I agree with Condit & the Diaz-brothers. Would love to see Gustafsson, Maia and Thiago Alves as champions aswell.

 

[Sinthesized]

Overeem/Cain, Diaz (either), DC (still), Horiguchi
