Is Tito the #2 best LHW champ in UFC history?

[ortizgnp]

As many of you probably know, Tito Ortiz held the record for the most consecutive title defenses at LHW for a long time - 5.
Now only surpassed by the greatest of all time, Jon Jones (8), where do we rank Tito, really?

  • UFC Hall Of Fame
  • UFC Light heavyweight champion(One time)
  • Five successful title defenses
  • UFC 13 Light Heavyweight Tournament Runner-Up
  • Knockout of the Night (One time)
  • Submission of the Night(One time)
  • Fight of the Night(Four times)
  • 2006 Fight of the Year vs. Forrest Griffin on April 15
  • Most fights in UFC history (27)
  • Most championship fights in the Light Heavyweight division (9)
  • Most championship rounds fought on Light Heavyweight division (28)
  • Second most successful Light Heavyweight title defenses in UFC history (5)
  • Second most consecutive successful Light Heavyweight title defenses in UFC history (5)
  • Second most wins in Light Heavyweight division championship fights (6)

Respek the head of Tito.

in no way is he ahead of chuck. Also his title defenses weren't exactly over killers.

edit: he has some good wins, but not #2

 

[sonhow]

Respect to Tito but Chuck would be ahead of him - since he beat Tito and Couture.
Honestly no idea who is 4.. Rampage? Machida won a controversial decision vs Shogun so he's out. LHW belt moved like a hot potato back in the day.

[kimchi dog taco]

i mean honestly tho who fucking cares about fighting over second place

JON JONES GOAT

 

[BC]

LMAO dying fam

 

[Roca]

Best as in best legacy/career or best as in skill set prime v prime hypothetical fight situation because if its the former then he's in the top 3 or 4. If its the latter then he's barely an honorable mention

 

[ortizgnp]

You should ask @KONE

I rather not.

 

[faustian]

I'd go

Jones
Liddell
Tito
Shogun
everyone else

 

[tdko]

[charalsias]

His ex is the 2nd best female pornstar of all time though

 

[KONE]

You should ask @KONE

Hes not the 2nd best. Hes the best ever. Tito was merciful enough not to unleash his full power. His head is so big he couldve made his opponents explode with a single thought... If he wanted. Tito bless

 

[Andre Xiong]

1. Jones
2. Rampage (beating prime Chuck [twice] and unifying UFC and PrideFC 205 pounds titles puts him pretty high)
3. Chuck/Wand/Shogun--gets blurry and debatable

imo, Tito doesn't really enter the picture until after Chuck/Wand/Shogun trio.

 

[Credo]

He´s numero uno in my book. Only thing that bothers me is his "lazy eye".

Peace motherf*ckers!
