Dude won 9 in a row before Cain 2. Is there anyone coming close in UFC HW history? Cain had 7, Arlovski once was on a 6 fight win streak, Werdum had 6
I think you answered your own question Cain's 7 is close. Stipe also had 6 with a decent amount coming in the form of title defenses.Dude won 9 in a row before Cain 2. Is there anyone coming close in UFC HW history? Cain had 7, Arlovski once was on a 6 fight win streak, Werdum had 6
And people on here were really calling Stipe the HW GOAT for beating Werdum running in with his hands down, no chin Overeem an Arlovski, Ngannou (Power but poor technique, poor stamina, little to no grappling) and a bunch of lower level/past their prime fighters.Dude won 9 in a row before Cain 2.

Yes I think you're correct.
That was also, without a doubt, the most glorious road to the title in UFC HW history.
Maybe in the whole UFC history as well - except Conor (because love or hate - never UFC had so many eyes on a challenger)
JDS had probably the hardest road to the title for a guy that was undefeated in the UFC. All eyes were on giants like Lesnar and Carwin, and on untapped markets with Cain.
Werdum, Struve, Cro Cop, Yvel, Gonzaga, Nelson, Shane, Cain, Mir
All stoppages except Shane and Roy
That's pretty fucking amazing

yeah its the longest. people forget how good he was. his run was amazing to watch too since he was ko'ing dudes left and right aside from carwin and nelson - 2 iron chinned mf's who JDS probably took a few years off their lives with those fights lol. he put a beating on both of them.
2nd best ufc hw ever behind cain at his best - and im a stipe fan. but he aint touching jds when he was on fire
