I just thought of something interesting. (I'm bored)

[bigeastgi43]

Jose Aldo was the UFC FW champ twice but he never won it once. Any interesting stuff you guys know about the UFC or mma on general?

 

[gimp0]

Interesting.

Wow, solid point TS.

Conor has two championships and has never defended a belt. Crazy right!?

 

[Hidden_Hand]

Well he was the defending champion of the WEC and that was absorbed into the UFC but all was under the Zuffa banner so technically he just had a change of name.

Jon Jones could have very much lost his title to Chael Sonnen by TKO had the ref or doctor seen his broken toe, if only Chael had made it to the end of the round things would have been so different.

Jon Jones didn't know he broke his toe either until someone fucking pointed it out to him and he looked at it and went "OH SHIT"

Conor won his belts haha

Aldo won waaaaaay more championship fights

 

[faustian]

Dan Hendo was actually the first simultaneous two division champ in the UFC

Haha, that's actually true and hilarious now that you say that.

How do you work that out?

Rampage was technically the first ever true unified world champion by unifying both Pride and the UFC by defeating Henderson?

 

[Myrddin Wild]

The only UFC title fight to neither be advertised nor aired on the card in which the fight happened on was....

Spoiler

Frank Shamrock vs. Jeremy Horn at UFC 17

They wanted to have a "Best of the UFC" PPV event on New Years eve... with all the best fights... but all re-runs... except for that one title fight which had never been aired before. So they recorded it in May at that event... & aired it Dec. 31st.

I know all this because I attended the event... & had stat sheets on me for every fighter that was supposed to be on the card. All of a sudden they announce Jeremy Horn. I waz like WTF? As I explained to those around me who the f*ck he was... he made his way to the cage & then they announced Frank Shamrock... I was like "Holy sh*t! this is a title fight!" lol... it was a trip... but that's how I know it wasn't advertised.

UFC absorbed Pride, Pride belts became UFC belts. That's why when Hendo fought Andy and Page both fights were to unify the belts to become the undisputed UFC (MW and LHW) champions

Yes and he lost both times.

Are you saying because he entered the UFC both middleweight and LHW champion of Pride?

Also that makes both Anderson Silva and Rampage the final ever true lineal unified, undisputed world champions. Pretty cool looking back.

EDIT. I've just checked Henderson was only the middleweight champion in which he lost to Rampage.

 

[Striderx5]

Stipe is lineal Saku belt holder

 

[faustian]

Yes and he lost both times.

Yes, he was acknowledged as a MW and LHW champion by the UFC. Hendo being champ when UFC absorbed Pride is similar to when Aldo got "promoted" to UFC champ when UFC absorbed WEC

Here you go "CHAMPION vs CHAMPION"

They specified Pride champion for Hendo, but that's really just for the casuals to explain why the UFC had two LHW champions fighting for the same belt. Pride was UFC at that point

You can say that Conor was the first to win two belts to become simultaneous champ in UFC history, but Hendo was the first fighter to simultaneously hold two belts in the UFC

Why do u want to be blown by a senior citizen?

I'm not arguing and maybe this is nitpicking but Henderson never actually held a UFC belt or title. Aldo was actually given both once UFC swallowed WEC. Henderson was still the Pride LHW champ when he came into the UFC. Dude never held a UFC belt as such, but he was a champion. The two belts he held were Pride belts, although he had them while in the UFC

Lmao, good point. I'm living in the past. She'll always look like she did from Training Day to We Own The Night for me.

Although seniors must give smooth blowies, just saying...

That's quite a stretch there guy. Hendo never owned a UFC championship belt. He's never going to be introduced as a former UFC champion. He was simply gifted UFC title fights because he was the outgoing Pride Champion when the UFC bought them out. Hell im not even sure the pride weight classes even matched pound for pound the UFCs. Wasn't middleweight like 209.4 or some shit? And welterweight was like 176?

Aldo's situation is different because WEC had divisions that were uncontested in the UFC, FW for example.

True lol
