Greatest CHAMPION streak without a loss—in UFC history?

[kellier]

Both DJ and Aldo have a case for a better run than GSP. Both had more defenses, finishes, and wins.

I agree, though, that GSP's is ultimately more significant because of the weight class. As great as they are/were, the little guys just fall short in comparison because they're little. No offense meant, they're fucking beasts, just small.

I'd consider Aldo's run to be close to GSPs. He has a lot more finishes and FW was quite stacked.

I too believed Aldo would win. I'm by no means a Conor fan, but that win was as legit as it gets. I'd like to see them rematch, but McGregor obviously didn't want that. I understand his reasonings, but if there was ever a situation for an immediate rematch, Aldo deserved it.

It was definitely legit. McGregor had him beat mentally and physically. That prefight stuff started to be too much for even me so I could only imagine how flustered it made Jose. It was the Conor McGregor show with the UFC going all in on the charade.

11, 15, or 14

Which numerical value is greater?

Lol, holy shit. Your brain might actually be stuck and can’t help but repeating this.
I’m literally laughing right now.

I think it's a better streak for sure. I guess there's more value in the higher weight class?

Your childish attempts are easily identified and thwarted. Answer the question, PeeWee.

11, 15, or 14?

 

[TerrorTimmy]

Agreed, and Georges SOS hurts him badly.

That and Lack of finishes. Statistically and logically Georges is third behind Jones and Silva.

Man, I can’t even be annoyed by you anymore. You seriously made me laugh so hard. You are better than any bizarre internet character someone could create. Love it.

I think that argument started due to depth. 135 was a bit thin (it's why Cruz doesn't get the recognition he should) and 125 was a graveyard. But 145 had a selection of top guys. 205 has been shallow now for years when it was once the marquee attraction.. Swings in roundabouts I guess.

Its hard to call. Aldo had finishes and his fights were exciting, but GSP dominated his fights. Hominick and Lamas could have won in the final round when Aldo got tired, and Edgar and Mendes II were close decisions.

I know which one was more fun to watch anyway

 

[ThunderStruck]

hbomb hendo was still able to ko ppl left n right n had 50% of his wins by ko

griffins average, but still good enough to beat shogun and rampage to win the title

N Nate had 70% tdd n finished close to half of his wins by sub....

now can you name 4 of gsp opponents that were multiple dimensional?

LOL thats so easy.

Shields : wrestling and BJJ
Fitch : wrestling and BJJ
Condit : striking and BJJ
Kos : wrestling and BJJ
Hughes : wrestling and BJJ
Penn : striking and BJJ

But unlike the 4 you named for Sivla, all these guys are extreme specialist in one of their discipline.

One of the few fights Aldo didn't pace himself figuring out his opponents range. Leading up to the fight one of the worst things I thought he could do would be to try and swing with McGregor. He had the speed advantage and was one of the better leg kickers in the org. I also wanted to see Conor tested for more than 3 rounds and I still think Jose could take him there if he fought smart. Nothing I wanted to see happened and worst of all he leaves the division so it never would.

We really didn't get to see two of the best FW of all time fight. I would rather have seen McGregor punish him from post to post if he was going to win. That may have sat better with Jose too which I could understand.

Yeah, i know what you mean. I would like to know how a more calculated Aldo does/would have done against Conor as well.

Not too sure about the leg kicks though, because while Conor has a wide stance, making it harder for him to check kicks, he also had quite the reach advantage over Aldo, so i could've seen Conor connecting with straights if Aldo kicked him in the leg.

I could be wrong though.

You're not fooling anyone, PeeWee. Adolescent defiance and defensive responses aren't the equivalent of answering a question.

11, 15, or 14? Which is the greater numerical value?

There's nothing more dominant in MMA than a finish. Not letting someone continue to fight holds more value than allowing the time to expire.

Aldo had the better championship streak. GSP just has a more fanatical following, and those not biased towards GSP just likely default to higher weight classes being better.

so you named bunch of one dimensional grapplers with condit (who couldn’t stop a td to save his life) n bj penn (lw)?

If we use those standards than we would add vitor, maia, Chael, okami to Anderson list. Heck even leben would qualify as “multidimensional” then.

I like this. You’ve literally became a comedy. I can’t believe you’ve asked an already answered question this many times.
We need someone to go back and count how many. I’m going with 24.
Maybe an office pool as to how many you’ll do?

I agree 100%. Finish is a decisive victory. It has far more value that a UD.

But in between Aldo's finishes, he had some close calls and looked gassed & vulnerable twice (could easily have been tko'd being mounted when tired on either occasion). GSP never looked vulnerable Hendricks aside. That's what puts me on the fence I guess.

I'm guilty of forgetting the little guys.

 

[Intellidamus]

11, 15, or 14?

Those are your guesses? You’ve repeated yourself way too many times for it to be that low. I’m guessing higher. But still, you can only pick one.
So is it 11,14 or 15?
I’m still going with 24.

Maybe, no, no and maybe.

Maia is the perfect example of one dimensionnal. He has no wrestling at all, no striking at all. 100% BJJ.

Shields is just as good in BJJ except he at least has the wrestling to take it to the ground.

Maia has no wrestling but he took down Fitch easily every round.

guess Fitch isn’t much of a “wrestling specialist” or well rounded.
