Do dominant Champs make the division look bad?

[Dreyga Hates You Sherbums]

Is it just me or does it seem like every time a dominant champ reigns over a division. The division is quickly met with accusations that the division is bad.

All of sudden there is new life in 125 and 205 after DJ and Jones left. Hell a year or two after Joanna was dethroned SW has suddenly become the more interesting and deepest WMMA division.

Does the belt changing hands make the fighters in the division look more dangerous?

To haters they do. Anderson Silva made the strong MW division look like amatuers during his record breaking title reign. The man was simply that good. Is normal.

Does it ever get tiring defending Anderson every day?

Perspective is reality on this forum. If they want to hate on someone or prop them up, it doesn't matter if it's after a win or a loss. Sometimes truth shines through. Rarely though.

 

[dildos]

yeah when you get a champ like GSP who is literally miles ahead of the competition it makes the div look slack, despite it being full of absolute killers.

but tbh anderson was reigning champ in the weakest middleweight division ever.

 

[Texan6533]

Nah, adds drama for whenever they get beat. In fact, tons of people will tune in every fight to see if it happens.

The world may never know. There's no real way to quantify it.

 

[Tweak896]

Has there ever been a dominant champion in a division that is considered loaded? Maybe Khabib, but his title reign is too short. I know LHW was looked at like a shark tank when Jones grabbed the title and was a ghost town when he left it. Silva/GSP both had good divisions but after they cleared them they were also considered weak. Aldo at FW was never considered a strong or weak division.

no bashing. all truth friend. just like how anderson is a steroid cheat.

and tbh anderson is lucky he got off easy only getting knocked out and getting his leg broken by weidman. imagine what the likes of the strikeforce guys romero, jacare, mousasi and rising ufc star whittaker would have done to him at that time. romero would have left anderson brain dead and a vegetable.

yeah most of the time this is what happens.
anderson, gsp and jon jones when they reigned it kinda looked this way for a lot of fans ... in most cases they were really wrong.
Jake Shield, Nick Diaz, matt hughes condit etc was a pretty murderers row at the time
Anderson had vitor , dan hendo , etc
jon jones had so many former champions he had to go through .. vitor, machida, shogun, rampage etc

I also need to poop. brb

 

[KID Yamamoto]

I prefer a Robbie Lawler style champ where every single fight is a all time great brawl.

It's kind of a chicken-and-the-egg deal. Any division will look weak after a couple of years of a dominant champion cleaning it out....so did a weak division make it easier for them to hold the belt, or was the division weak because the belt got held so long?

Like someone said, it's mostly perception, and mostly depends on how popular the dominant champion is, and whether there are other reasons to bag on the division.

Take WBW and WFW...whether Nunes being so much better than everybody else is cause or effect kind of gets lost when there are so many people who're eager to jump on any reason to say WMMA sucks.

people can't accept someone being too far ahead of the competition.
They try to "use logic" and so the division is bad, the champion is cheating and many other excuses to justify it.

but then when the champion loses, he was never really that great!

Gotta love MMA fans/haters

if you are really good you make other fighters look bad, weak.

no bashing. all truth friend. just like how anderson is a steroid cheat.

even Conor knows who the GOAT is:

you are jealous bitch , Anderson Prime is the best Striker in ufc history.

the guy who trains with Anderson and considers him GOAT almost killed Romero.


Robert vs Anderson? would be like that, he's bad against technical Strikers.

hey dildos stick a real dildo in you and stop being a snowflake!

First of all your name and AV are freaking sweet.
Second I love Robbie and he very well might be my favorite non-interim champ ever but I'm pretty sure his title fights vs Hendricks 2 was not a atg brawl nor was this (3 outta 5 aint bad tho):

I definitely think MM, Jones, maybe even GSP gave off a perception that 1st place was so unattainable that you just watched to see how they would win and not if someone cashed in a punchers chance, unless you hated them, which many did and do. I think if you had such a mentality that they were unbeatable even other great fighters might just seem to the next chucklehead in line.

It can also make the division look shallow, like HW .
