It’s Refreshing to See All the Best Fighters in Every Division Actually Hold the Belts

[TrueBias]

Topuria is one i have to rewatch, as ive bet against him and lost. Gotta be convinced by now, plus he markets himself great.

^See, one can accept being wrong, even repeatedly, just be exciting when you beat whom I was favoring.

RDM....love that he beat what's his name but I dont remember the fight and....shit, what he looks like.

Islam might be something, but its still.fresh.

Khazmat? Jesus christ, this jerk took the safe route to get the belt and people keep saying he's had finishes in one hand and say he got the belt safely in the other hand, with PRAISE. So, hah, then hell.do the same smothering shit to keep the belt, yes?

HW I kinda dont give a shit about because tom was waiting for jones, ala chandler sad-style. However, im glad he's moving on, of which he needed to do sooner but not as late as chandler.

I dont consider him a paper champ. He would be if he activley avoided fighting Movsar, but it aint like that.

Yeah he's certainly no duck, it's Dana's fault and Dana doing this is hurting Volk's legitimacy as champ

 

[FrappeDuRocma]

Tom & Volk are both paper champions. Nobody thinks Ank is the best. JDM is good, but still has lots to prove...

If Volk is a paper champ, then Topuria too.

 

[HHJ]

If Volk is a paper champ, then Topuria too.

Neither are.

But we will just wait and see what they do with the championships they have

Ilia KOd Volk and then vacated to challenge Islam who ducked.

Volk then ducked Movstarr Evloev for an easier fight vs Lopes and is now ducking again for Lorone Murphy

Nice try though

 

[Mmmmmmma1234]

There's always someone coming up that deserves a shot and hasn't gotten it. Or a phenomenal guy who hasn't fought top competition that could be the best.
The champion can only fight so often. You're probably just happy your favorites are champion and it's not proven at all they're the best. In 2026/25 some will lose their best making this thread a lie.

The only duck, is Topuria.

The only current champ who I'm comfortable saying is the best in their division is Pantoja, and maybe merab.

Horrible trolling. Jon ducked and retired and came out two weeks after retiring. Tom is the actual champions and has been fighting in that division. Ilia vacated the belt, should there not be a new champ once someone vacates or retires? Your lack of logic is troubling.


For the thread. I don't think JDM beats Shavkat or Brady. Ilia has had two fights at LW. Movsar needs to be beaten at FW and Fluffy looks like he's the best MW, until Khamzat can beat him. So, no.

Also said Max doesn't deserve a title fight and ended up giving him a shot. Arman is arguably the best LW right now and the champ of any division should take issue with anyone being discussed as the best other than themselves.

"Ducking" a wet blanket in Mosvar for a guy with more than acceptable grappling in Lerone and actual finishing power is an actual insane concept.

 

[VinceArch]

Thanks for expressing your opinion so I can make a note to never listen to you again.

I sure hope he's not serious. This is a repugnant attitude for a champion to have.

 

[El Fernas]

Topuria and Volk didnt.
