Best back to back wins?

[TerraRayzing]

There have been a bunch recently.
Cejudo beat TJ, Marlon and Cruz.
DDP beat Whittaker, Strickland and Adesanya.
Islam beat Charles, Volk, and Volk again.
Topuria beat Emmet, Volk and then knocked out Max fucking Holloway.
Which one do you think is the best? I love Shogun but recent UFC history plz.

Back to back knockouts of Volkanovski and Holloway is insanely impressive

There were some talks about Volk not been at a hundred percent but that Holloway KO proved that Topuria would have KOed any version of Volk.

Smith, Santos and Smith is not too bad. Jones did ok in recent UFC.

Volk's run of Mendes, Aldo, and Max 2x.

Great one.
Leon beating Usman, Usman and Colby is pretty decent too but not on the level of the those above, imo.

I don't fully agree.

Volkanovski was nowhere near 100% in the Makhacheve rematch, and even if he was fully physically recovered from that loss, his mindset was not. Volkanovski is one of the greatest FWs of all time and the best version of him could beat anyone in history on any given night.

Still an incredible pair of victories.

He didn't beat anyone particularly good.

Griffin beat number 1 Shogun then number 1 Rampage. Had to mention it cause Griffin gets underrated at lot.

I agree with you there. The best version of Volk can definitely beat Ilia but at the same time, Ilia can still catch the best version of Volk with his stupid power and skill.
The Volk that showed up at the first Islam fight and the Max trilogy was just ridiculous tho.
