He was also fighting vastly inferior LW's in the UFC than what was happening outside of it lmao
Lol who's fault is that? The UFC gave him the best guys they could offer at that time. And he beat all 12 of them except former champs: Penn, Sherk, Aldo who were all in their primes. And also to an undefeated prime Maynard. And he was too green and only had 3 pro fights during his TUF loss to Diego. Different eras, but doesn't make Kenflo less of a great fighter who never won a title that time.
But he never won a title at that time because he simply wasn't good enough. I get that he was good. But he wasn't a great that only lacked a title to crown his career. He needed to be a lot better. That's the exact same thing as everyone else that is not good enough to be champ.
He got beaten HANDILY every time he fought anyone at championship level.
Well isn't that what the thread is all about? I'm not saying he IS the correct answer, but imo he is one worth mentioning. TS got Joe B. as his example.
As far as UFC title goes:
HW: Overeem
LHW: Rumble Johnson
MW: Yoel Romero
WW: Carlos Condit (only if you exclude Interim, otherwise Jon Fitch)
LW: Tony Ferguson (only if you exclude Interim, otherwise Michael Chandler)
FW: Chad Mendes
dont care about the midget divisions
That wasn't my interpretation. I thought it was more about guys that were good enough but unlucky in some way. I feel that he was kind of the polar opposite in that the UFC moved a lot of pieces around to get him his title shots. I don't think only ever fighting once at a weight and getting a title shot puts him in that catagory. Especially having just lost in a title fight.
Still showing your ignorance. Bisping was afraid to lose titlel to Mousasi and tried to make things work for most of a 90 day nego .He even signed the rockhold fight but the misunderstanding of UFC still offering the slight bump to his already finished shitty contract put a stop to that.If only he didn’t run away to fight welterweights in Bellator

Eh
I dont think Mirko or Overeem were good enough to get the belt,because they werent able to do it. The promotions they fought in would have loved it,but it was not to be. But I still dont mind or question if people have them as their best fighter in those divisions never to win the title.
Poking the bear are we?If only he didn’t run away to fight welterweights in Bellator
what happened to him ?
