Joe Riggs is on a crazy win streak...Third time the charm?

Have there been many fighters with three UFC stints?
Only Vitor and Hendo come to mind for me.
John Alessio, went 0-5
Lost to Miletich in 2000 via Sub
Lost to Diego in 2006 via Dec
Lost to Pitbull Alves in 2006 via Dec
Lost to Bocek in 2012 via Dec
Lost to Roller in 2012 via Dec


Went 5-2 in the WEC

Tiki Ghosn went 0-4
Lost to no name Bob Cook via sub in 2000
Lost to Muscle Shark via Sub in 2001
Lost to Lawler via Cut in in 2002
Lost to Lytle via Sub in 2004

From the vid it almost looks like you can see the ped's seeping from his pores.
 
I thought he drew in his last fight, which would break his win streak and put it back to zero. Before that draw, he had stopped 6 fighters in a row with strikes, but Cody McKenzie and 2017 Shonie Carter aren't exactly names on the resume anymore.
 
While he is on a nice run .. it isnt vs. top prospects as you allude. Without naming all his recent opponents...

5 -1 in last six before facing Rigs ( this is by far the His best win since leaving UFC )

2 - 4 in his last six before facing Rigs.

( Shonie Carter, I thought he retired .. ) 3 -12 in his last 15 before facing Rigs

1 - 4 in last five

6 - 16

2 - 8 in last 10

lol, that was one of the most awkward post fight interviews ever.
 
Funny when you consider he started his career as a heavyweight

Always been a fan but the guy has pyschological issues and has taken a ton of damage over the years.

I assume he is fighting because he is broke but man, 64 pro fights and he's been KO'd 8 times...

Dana has always liked him, the guy has been in and out of the UFC 3 times.

He just isn't good enough to hang with top 10 fighters any longer.

I had not heard of any of these fights, but wow ya he isnt doing bad.
 
Imagine if he had Petrol tatted on his belly instead.
 
Going full sherdog here, but younger Joe Riggs was a really good looking guy.
 
he's most likely eating horse meat. Riggs has been an advocate for at the very least the therapeutic use of horse meat since the beginning. Then again, everybody he is fighting over there probably eats it too.
 
Had no idea was even still fighting tbh.

Last I remember hearing about him he nearly blew his bollocks clean off with a semi-auto handgun.

Stop saying "bollocks". Everyone knows you're from Wisconsin.
 
Good for Joe.Im still waiting for Fightmaster season 2!
