Is Yair the least deserving title challenger of all time?

[prime_lobov]

Yair legit has zero good wins in the last 5 years:

1. W: Pitbull - According to the UFC and UFC fanboys’ own opinions, Bellator is the B-leagues and their fighters are “not on the UFC’s level.” Well, in that case, a win over an old ex-Bellator champ should mean nothing.

2. L: Ortega - First fight was proved a fluke by Ortega tapping Yair.

3. L: Volk - total domination. Yair broke mentally.

4. W: Emmett - Let’s be real, Emmett isn’t very good. The only guy he’s beaten in recent memory is a Nazi podcaster.

5. W: Ortega - injury

6. L: Max - Yair got schooled.


Honestly, what is Yair’s best win? A fluke KO against Korean Zombie after losing 4.99999 rounds? Why has Yair ever gotten a title shot, much less one now over Evloev?

The UFC only wants the Mexican market. Yair is their Bisping It is disgusting.

I don’t know about least deserving but it’s up there. Pointless rematch nobody wants. Even worse it’s in a division with a few options. Evloev or Murphy both are deserving. Hell even Jean Silva makes more sense and would be more hype. Just straight up stupid matchmaking.

He's not even close to Colby Covington.

Wait I forgot about Stipe definitely him as #1 what a clown show the UFC has been.

At least she was on a win streak

Joe Soto?

Colby is pretty bad. He got only title shots off like 5 straight losses. The 170lb division was a 3-man circle jerk between Usman, Colby, and Edwards for the better part of a decade

He actually put up a pretty good fight against Max.

Other than that, I agree him getting a title shot is a joke and the guy is a major douche bag too.

It should be Volk versus Evloev and Yair versus Lopez.

Of course not, but if he wins, which he very well might, he would probably be in a 4 way tie for least deserving title challenger to win the title, along the Volk coming off back to back KO losses, Randy getting KO'd by Chuck in 2 of his previous 3, and Matt Serra beating Chris Lytle for his title shot.

I think you're way overlooking some completely preposterous title shots. Justin Eilers coming off getting KO'd by Paul Buentello, Chael fighting Jones after losing to Anderson, Joe Soto, Stipe, Dan Henderson against Bisping, and Bisping himself. Most of those were replacement opponents, but Chael and Stipe were both the planned opponents for Jones, so the same guy has probably the 2 most undeserved planned title opponents.

 

[Subline]

Stipe got a title shot with no wins in the past 4 years and coming off a KO loss

 

[fortheo]

I'm still holding on to a sliver of hope that this won't happen.

 

[prime_lobov]

Jones/Stipe was basically an exhibition. Nobody really thought Stipe did anything to deserve it. Was a cool fight in Dana’s mind.

Hendo gettting the shot at bisping was atrocious though. There were plenty of other contenders at the time. Would have loved to see Romero vs Ping for the strap.

She's fighting prospect Eduarda Moura on July 12th in Nashville.

I know it won't do anything but a part of me is convinced if I complain enough about this matchup being a joke and a fraud before they officially announce it that maybe they will change their mind about doing it. So I apologize in advance for my worse posting than usual!

 

[SamuraiBro]

No one should ever take the UFC seriously anymore. Just take it as it comes and hope for entertaining fights.

 

[Bowel-forged Stool]

Is the fight in Mexico? He might have been the only guy willing to go

 

[Serge421]

This easy title defence for Volk is a gift from UFC cause it doesn't want to lose their last popular champion. Poor Movsar, now he's gonna have to 50-46 Pico for nothing.
