Well well well... from "Bilel could soon become the nr2 WW of all time" to "Bilel Mahmud couldnt defend his belt once and lost to someone who could very well become the worst (by results) WW champ of all time....
Where do we put Bilel Machmud now in the WW all time rankings?
I have him on a strong 12 place, based on who he beat before and who he lost to:
1. Georges St-Pierre (GSP) – 9 title defenses
2. Matt Hughes – 7 title defenses
3. Marty Usman – 5 title defenses
4. Tyron Woodley – 4 title defenses
5. Pat Miletich - 4 title defenses
6. Robbie Lawler – 2 title defenses
7. Leon Edwards – 1 title defense
8. Johnny Hendricks – 0 title defenses but won against Lawler wo is 6 (and lost a close dec to GSP before!)
9. BJ Penn – 0 title defenses but won over Hughes who is 2nd
10. Matt Serra - 0 title defenses but won over GSP who is the GOAT
11. Carlos Newton - 0 title defenses but won over Pat Miletich who is 5
12. Bilel Machmud - 0 title defenses but won from Edwards who is 7
13. JDM - 0 title defenses but won over Machmud so he deserves to be last
