Biggest decision machines in the UFC today

I would say like Dan Ige or Niel Magny. The dude couldn’t even finish a washed up Lawler who wasn’t even fighting back
 
At this point in his career, arlovski whenever he wins. Sad cuz he was a beast with very fast hands back in the day.
He’s just chilling playing the system, collecting a nice check for a half ass effort decision win
 
Jorge Gurgel, back in the day, went to a decision almost every time he fought in the UFC, except one time when he lost to Cole Miller I think. I remember back then, when I was newer to MMA, I kept thinking it was such a bummer that they kept this guy signed. Looking back, he still had some good fights.
 
It's not like he's KO'd a huge amount of people in the whole top 15, it's one, exactly one. I don't know why anyone would try paint him as anything but a decision machine? Is it because he's muscly so you expect him to be KO artist?

Why does he have to be one or the other? You do realise fighters could be neither of those things?
 
Antonio McKee, who went to submit to a single punch by Shinya Aoki
 
Funny thing is a couple years ago you could for sure put Masvidal on here, but now he's painted as the best finisher of all time. Kinda crazy. Machida has become a boring decision guy.

Masvidals always had hands and even before the Til KO he was KO'ing guys like Cowboy and Ellenberger.

Solid shout though, his early UFC run I remember it being very decision heavy.

Machida was always kind of like that he just sprinkled a some kos in-between decisions but even his fights that ended in ko were a little slow untill the boom.

Yeah he's always had tentative hands.. Before Ellenberger he had 18 fights and only had 2 tkos, and about a million split decisions against guys he should've beaten

Tecia Torres has them all beat as Queen of Decisions.

Eight years of fighting as a pro, only ONE of her fights has had a finish.

Win or loss for her, it's almost a guarantee her fight will go to a decision.
Imagine being the chick who got finished then lmao.

I don’t think of it as a knock against her though- she’s under sized for the class and yet does really well.

She’s also, as you hinted at- super tough. She fought Andrade, Joanna, Weili, and Rodriguez all in a row and was not stopped by any of them. And all four of those women are throwing to get you out of there.

To be fair, Masvidals KOs seem to just break people. If that record is true, Till, Askren, Cerrone, Ellenberger never really have found consistent form after those KOs.

No i agree 100% I like Mas, that Till ko was insane and the Askren too, he deserves the attention he got from those fights. Ellenberger was as shot as it gets, and Cerrone had been styled on well before Mas
 
Colby but not Usman? If you count his 2 TUF fights, Usman has 3 finishes in his last 14 fights and the Colby finish was an early stoppage.
