Fun Thread of the Day

Was just watching this video and it got me thinking about what Aldo and his coach said about 18 days isn't enough time to prepare.


Now it's trivia time......


Has there ever been a late step in challenger to beat the champion with less than 30 days to prepare?

What say you, Sherdog?

 

Not again.

 

The Chris...

 

I mean the JJ.......

 

Ive been here way longer than my join date says and I have never seen one of these threads...so suck it, kid.

 

JJ? Jon jones? Jonna champ?

 

Wasn't jones a late injury replacement against Shogun?

 

ah good call, I forgot about that for some reason. Anymore or is that the only one?

 

wasnt killashaw a replacement? i dont remember

 

Joe Soto stepped up on 24-hours notice.

 

He replaced Assuncao, IIRC.

 

Yup. And Jones stepped in for Rashad on like 5 weeks notice.

 

Tj?

 

Oh, I thought Jones was less than that. Dillashaw had almost a full camp

Guess we can't think of any 4 weeks or less guys who managed to win?

 

When I suggested Joe Soto, I didn't see the part about beating the champ. Unless it's from an early UFC, I don't think anyone has done it in recent memory.
