How good was Jeff Monson...?

Probably more famous for this pic than his fight career

What was the story behind it do you know?
 
Talking 'bout his prime, of course. Saw some of his fights back when; catching up with more on YouTube.

I wouldn't imagine anyone would rate him among the absolute all time greats but he did have his moments.

Wondering how he'd compare career-wise with some other (what I'll call) mid-tier guys like Nelson, Struve, Kongo, Gonzaga, Fujita, Rothwell, Browne.. etc. Who do you think his career is closest to in accomplishments?

Just tryin' to generate some discussion....
He is the worst out of those guys you mentioned. Maybe. Ot worse than struve though even though that does not mean much.
 
He was probably one of the top journeyman fighters of the time. Considering him being like 5ft 8 he held his own very well against many great lhw and hw fighters. Hes been on the scene for a very long time. Always wanted to see his fight with Chuck Liddell
 
No homo but does anybody have the video of him weigh in naked and everybody in the commission/Promotion don't say shit? lol

It's some old school video, in the early days of MMA.

No homo.
 
God, he was so slow and rigid. But no one wants a 5’8” 240 pound wad of muscle on top of them. He was a scary dude who was successful despite his handicaps.
