is hill the weakest LHW champion ever?

[pride_rules]

I'm gonna be totally real here. Compare Jiri's preformance against Glover with Hill's. Guys this dude is a fucking problem. Dont really like him because he reminds me of gangbanger/criminal type of bullies but I said that he would be champ back when I saw his fight with Jimmy crute

uhm. why does he remind you of a criminal? or gang banger?
im going to ask instead of assume you mean he is black

 

[El Fernas]

Well, Glover is a former champ, he also beat Anklaev, who is other guy that should be champ by now, would he beat him again? I dont know, if Jiri fucks around him he could get beat too...Hill isnt the best, but he is far from weak, he is 12-1 for a reason.

Edit: he hasnt beat Anklaev, i got him mixed with Paul Craig.

 

[Poatan Power]

not sure why he would be. if anything, if he was, it would just be due to how good LHW champ's have been. Even people saying Griffin was the weakest seem to look back on him poorly for losing to Evans, Silva and Rua on a rematch. I guess beating Tito, Rua Rampage and Franklin from 07-11 makes you weak lol

 

[Taric]

This is far and away the weakest group of top 5 LHWs I can think of in the last 20 years.

Would hill beat any of the previous UFC LHW champions?

Serious question I'm sure there might be one ore two he could but curious what's sherdogs take on a fighter like hill winning the LHW title.

Yes. Although he looked pretty sharp last night, he fought an old worn out dog. I don't think he'll last very long as a champ. Only time will tell.

Jones, had to juice his entire career, cheat multiple times and outsized and had youth over the aging old guard.

Most of them did. He just happened to get caught. Early ufc was all PED users

 

[tehMoose]

Hill got his belt by beating 39 years old Santos after 2 knee surgeries who was 1-5 in his last 6 fights and 43 years old Glover on 1 fight losing streak

So yeah probably

 

[jooohnmatrix]

Too early to judge just yet, we will have to see how it plays out.

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

First Cantender Series champ, I believe

 

[Masturbin]

Hill gets destroyed by prime Jones,Dc,Rumble (rip) and Gus but but so does like 95% of current LHW

This thread is about Hill, not Jon Jones. Don’t use this thread to shit on another fighter because you have disdain for them.

He's arguably not in the top 5 light heavyweights in the world

In fact it's hard to make an argument that puts him in the top five. "He beat Glover and Glover beat Jan" is about the best there is.

 

[JosephTessaro]

I think he looked great, I think he would fair well against some LHW’s of the past, but really what matters is how he will do moving forward.

Jiri

 

[jeff7b9]

We just had back to back old farts and you think the young buck that mollywhopped the living shit out of one of them is the weakest link?

How's that work?

 

[WolverReem]

Lol UFC doesnt even have a LHW or HW champ ofc it's the weakest rn

 

[Captain Herb]

IDK Vitor, Forrest, Jan an Old Man Glover were all weak champs too. Jiri is unproven. Machida, Rashad and Shogun all had very brief reigns and were crushed on their first defense... other than Jones there hasn't been a dominant LHW champion since Tito and Chuck (and both seemed like

*technicality

Machida was not crushed in his first defense.

He just did.
Did you not catch last night's main event?

 

[Busgosu]

*technicality

Machida was not crushed in his first defense.

Ok, against the first man that contended for his belt

 

[Jawth]

He literally just beat one of the former champs lol.

But I do have serious trouble imagining him as the best 205er though. I think Ank and Nemkov would both beat him.

I think too guys at 185, 205, and Heavyweight would lose to outsiders now.

185-Eblen likely dominates on the ground
205-Nenkov or Anderson probably 50-45
Heavyweight-Ngganou is still the clear #1

He lost to Paul Craig lol

Past is the past though. Division is kinda weak right now, but he is as good a champ as any of them.

Ank lost yo Craig too.

He has wins over half the guys who recently fought for the title.
