Is Adesanya #2 MW in ufc history a general opinion here?

[Hazuki Ryo]

This is what I think and I don't see how it would be other wise but some guy was arguing weidman or Franklin or whoever was in front..

He's not only a formidable fighter but one of the greatest champs in recent years

 

[generalyum]

yup

 

[GoshiShun17]

Si Senior

 

[Ironheart]

I would agree with that statement.

 

[jsbx45]

Seems like his time on top was pretty short to me...but I'll leave it for some butt hurt fanboy, Sorry, I mean fan, to point out the stats to me. Izzy was certainly willing to test himself.

 

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

Some guy arguing needs a nap...

 

[Tweak896]

Who else could you really debate it with? Weidman?

 

[sdpdude9]

I mean second most defenses, second longest reign in days, only guy to regain the belt after losing it. In terms of accomplishments pretty clearly #2.

 

[MEAN357]

Without a doubt, his brutal KO win over Periera just keeps aging better and better too, Poatans a fuckin monster. I dont think anyone else in the sport could've done that to him.

 

[Hazuki Ryo]

Yep

 

[Koro_11]

Not a fan, but yeah I'd say you gotta have him at a distant #2.

 

[Arm Barbarian]

Yeah. Especially in this era, with so few defending or belts changing hands in rapid fashion.

 

[Kryptt]

Easy...

 

[StonedLemur]

Hate the dude but he's the clear #2.

 

[NoSmilez]

He is probably 1 or 2. If he can capture the title again then he is probably 1.

 

[Hazuki Ryo]

He's not even clearly number 2 never mind MW GOAT lol.

This was the guy who denied him #2 spot! Boo this man!!!

 

[Hazuki Ryo]

Could be Izzy, Weidman, Romero, Whittaker. He hasn't done much to stand above the other guys tbh. He's no Anderson Silva, that's for sure.

The audacity

No, it’s Yoel then whittaker
greatness isn’t about title defenses, you can rack up 10 defenses against a guy like vettori, or a guy like costa who was gifted a decision against yoel and whose best win is Uriah hall, it’s about all your wins, and how well you did in them

”but izzy beat both of them” he beat rob once and got gifted two decisions

stunk it up against vettori and cannonier, complete snoozefests

literally alternating wins and losses for his last 10 fights, the ultimate 50/50 fighter

Thanks, but you don’t have to try with the truth
