pretty sure she has been erased completely from the history books.

Funny enough CBC did a documentary on her and it still occasionally shows up on the front page of the CBC website.

As the inaugural women’s flyweight champion and the sport’s first Native American champion, Nicco Montaño was a rising star in the UFC. In her quest to defend her title, Montano realizes she’ll face her biggest challenge before she ever steps foot in the ring. In this look behind the veil of...

This guy is absolutely one of the least explosive and least athletic men to ever hold an undisputed belt imo.

Additionally he has no worthwhile pedigree.
No black belts I am aware of.
Not an NCAA wrestler or even juco

 

[godhatesacoward]

I don't like him but I'll say belal no punching power and not that fast on top of starting late. Hell of a chin though.

DC maybe too especially at heavyweight although he is just strong as shit

 

[VAfan]

forrest griffin would be up there. still weird that he actually took a belt. seemed like one of the least naturally athletic guys of all time, like a big clumsy oaf who was just big and nothing else.

 

[BEATDOWNS]

my goat poirier sadly never got the title

Interim title
he lost three actual title fights and two BMF title fights. Dude always shit the bed when it mattered the most.

I think if you become a multi division champ at sub 6 foot you clearly are an amazing athlete no matter how fat you are

thats only because you keep watching it.

 

[CroCopsLHK]

Some very weird posts here. I think like 95% of champions are super gifted.

Niccos the right answer.

Tim Sylvia was pretty damn underrated if you ask me. Gigantic, sharp striking, worked a lot on his wrestling defense

 

[Zorro]

Tim Sylvia.

Are you saying a 6'8" man isn't genetically gifted?

Jamahal Hillary

Bad list. Jamahal won only because of his athleticism. Aspinall is fast and powerful, even more impressive from his grappling background. Carla was a physical beast and much more gifted than her competitors.

he's a great athlete but was at a genetic disadvantage vs his opponents often but i see your point tbf

 

[Trabaho]

Michael Bisping. Had good cardio but that was all.

He isn't champ material he just gave a leg and a eye to upset Rockhold and be champ once. His knee is also prosthetic the fcker posted it on ig back than uncensored.

 

[mkess101]

Aspinall?

I think we all know that guy's dumb gimmick. Clown shoes.

 

[PaulieVegas27]

Has to be Tim Sylvia. Maybe Josh Barnett? Because while somewhat talented, we all know how he really became a champion.

Champ twice

 

[BEATDOWNS]

Niccos the right answer.

ya'll need to stop with this she had 7 total fights lol she only got a belt because it was the inaugural woman's flyweight title to which she got stripped of. Has nothing at all to do with her athleticism.

 

[Qays Stetkevich]

He had more punching power at 205 once when he dropped to 185 the power didn't follow him. But to say he only had cardio is kind of ignorant. tbh

They guy had legendary stamina and endurance. Built a successful career off of it (because lord knows he didn't have the hand power). How that isn't "good genes" is beyond me.

 

[BEATDOWNS]

dudes fuckin 6'8 he's got SOMETHING going for him

he had some pretty crispy striking. tbh
