JDM champ with worst credentials

[Luthien]

Shavkat still fights? Looks like he went incognito after having to cuddle Ian Garry to barely win.

His wife and kid had that horrible car accident recently

 

[VinceArch]

Yea, by winning the title finishing one of the GOATS who was on a nine years and 18 wins spree.

Great comparison to Belial...

He's talking about his stint at 155. I would've thought that was obvious.

Really?! He should've clarified that then. But thank you for your opinion.

Here's mine: Conors take at the lightweight title back then made tons of sense from any buisness standpoint because he was the by far biggest star and people wanted to see it.
He knocked out a legend in 13 seconds, he beat a young Holloway and Porier who after that went on crazy streaks themselves. Even Mendes wasn't shot when he fought Conor and had some epic battles after.
What's up with Topuira going up with no defense fighting for a vacated belt? What's up with Aspinall becoming Champ by Jones just retiring?
If you think you are watching a sport and sport only where the best are fighting the best you are a moron.

 

[RockyLockridge]

I mean - have ever been a champ with worse resume?

Jamalah hill

 

[RockyLockridge]

Beating a champion with zero defenses is now a negative

Whats funny to me about this, is do we look at leon as a better win than belal because he has a joke defense against colby?

What's the point of mentioning Bonfim and Brady, two guys who got TKO'd by decision machines, as a way of disparaging JDM who has yet to drop a fight in the UFC? Hell he ran over Randy Brown in 1 round and guess who's fighting him next in a main event, Bonfim.

He got the title shot by being active and healthy at the time, and he made the most of it.

 

[Whitestallion]

I am not going to judge JDM basing on his skill, but purely on his resume.
JDM won a belt against Belal - 0 title defenses champ, who himself won after decision. While JDM was clear winner, fight still was competitive and close.
Before this fight he had one ranked win against aged Burns, where he was losing the fight before the KO, which was one of the best comeback that year.
Before he fought with solid, but average Holland, who took him to split decision, the fight, that arguable he lost.
Before he fought with Hafez, another split victory, this time over journeyman.
And beside it he got 4 KO in undercards.

I mean - have ever been a champ with worse resume? For me JDM doesn't even deserve the titleshot with this resume in division full of Shavkat, Brady or Bonfim, and yet he is the champ.
JDM is very skilled boxer with great TDD and he is overall great talent, but his resume...

After he ends Islam, make sure to delete your accound, kid.

I mean, he really fucked up Glover, well over his prime Glover, but he was for a long time in my opinion already.

I just looked up his record and Hill lost to Craig by TKO/ Elbows in the first round so you might have a point there.

 

[Paladin]

Bro, Islam beat Charles for the belt and Charles only had 1 title defense.

Before that Islam beat Dober, Moises, and Hooker, before fighting Green to earn his title shot.

JDM beating Burns, Holland and Brown on his run to the title is better than Islam's run. He was having close fights because they were better opposition than what Islam was facing. Like, Green is a fucking can, bro.

How the fuck do you think Bonfim to be more deserving than JDM when his best win is the ghost of Wonderboi or Ange Loosa or Khaos Williams? JDM also has no losses in the UFC. Bonfim got put away by Dalby of all people within 2 rounds.

Champs with worse resumes would be Pena, Montano, or Cyborg.

JDM took the fights presented to him.those were the options, and I don’t believe he cherry picked his way to a title shot.

 

[Natural Order]

You think that’s bad? Khabiby won a mythological belt from an unranked part time, real estate agent!

Let that sink in lads!

Glover is a patently worse win than Belal. Glover also had zero defenses. Hills best wins are both shopworn Brazilians Santos and Glover

 

[TITS]

Nico Montano?

GOAT

 

[Luthien]

Nico Montano?

She's keeping busy these days

Yeah, Belial, while completely unmarketable and uncharismatic is a very skilled fighter, he even improved his striking tremendoulsy.

I agree.

Again, not talking about 145.

 

[NadaRekowski]

Again, not talking about 145.

The whole topic is about worst credentials for a champ. The TS didn't even mention a jump to another weightclass.

You are a goof and making shit up.

Conor was legit and proven champ at 145 and is no different than a Topuria, GSP or others who jumpoed without any of your called 'credentials'.

You just dont like Conor and that's fine. Neither do I.

 

[VinceArch]

The TS didn't even mention a jump to another weightclass.

I know! I'm not talking about weight class jumps, the person YOU quoted was talking about Conor's run at 155. Why you can't comprehend that, I have no idea.

I'll recheck. I'm mostly just glancing postings. If, this is one ridiculous back and forth.

I was always talking about his run at 145 because that was the premise in the thread.

Anyhows. Have a great day!

 

[BabyBlue_Bomber]

Beating the former champion to become the current champion is a pretty important credential though…

And I know there are a few fighters who have reached UFC Gold without even having to face the champions before them…
