Can you name a UFC fighter with a better resume than Yoel who didn't get a title shot?

[Arne Rud]

Jacare

It's hard for me to answer this, because I don't accept that he beat Jacare. And while I defended him during 'stoolgate' (because it was Big John, not his corner, that told him to sit back down and get the goop off his head - which is put there by an impartial official, not his team), but that win is kind of tainted as well.

& He destroyed each of them
handily, as an elite fighter should.
& Had a close battle with Lawler.
Don't diminish his performance.

Romero had to cheat in more ways
than one to even be considered on
this hypothetical list of most deserved
win streaks.

just saying if we're going by competition in streaks...Browns is a joke

crushing cans isn't the same as crushing people in the top 10 of a division

Give Brown a minute in between
the first round & second, after he
got rocked & before he came back
to take a round from Robbie.
Fight might be a different story...

Also, give him steroids. Might be
different, even still.

I once, too, campaigned for Yoel
to get a title shot before his clock
runs out, but once he popped, I
stopped caring about the road
blocks they put in front of him.
As far as I'm concerned, fighters
like him should do more than the
average fighter to prove their worth
in a title offering. For obvious reasons...

Holloway for sure. Yoel did it to himself

 

[FleximusPrime]

Max Holloway and Frankie Edgar on his current run

Frankie Edgar and his earth shattering "5" fight win streak...... WOW.!! Get a grip will you ffs.

 

[snakedafunky]

Every fighter that currently has a victory and didn't get busted for roids has a better streak.

I don't blame you but it was out of competition, fighters have got shots after failed test before, and i honestly believe 90% of fighters are using banned supplements so it is hard for me to care that much.

I guess in Yoels case what worries me is if they go Hendo for the title shot. And they have Yoel fight Weidman, Rockhold, or Jacare again and he wins I still think he will be passed over for the winner of the other matchup of the final 4 fighters.

 

[Docile]

His is damn good but not better. Rothwell would have been better if (he didnt) he would have beat JDS though imo.

Lol come on man, he killed your thread, just man up.

 

[Metheus]

I'm gonna throw Fitch out there...

 

[TatooNU]

Jesus approves of this thread and Yoel.

Disagree

 

[Alanf7]

Yoel is a beast and he will become champion if he gets his well deserved shot.

9 straight since 2014

Hands down the only one to win 9 in a row in the organization and not get a shot , hell the first person with 8 in a row and not get a shot. Hell Jon Fitch got his title shot after he won 7.
