By "least padded" I mean "containing the least amount of cans", basically a complete record comprised of solid fighters throughout. Discussing current or former UFC fighters but looking at their ENTIRE CAREER.
My pick: Lyoto Machida (yes, I'm a biased fan)
Let's have a closer look at his record (very subjective):
Note: I marked Sokoudjou as "decent" but at the time he was super hyped and a betting favorite.
That's only TWO cans in 32 fights (6%)!
25 fight streak against non-cans!
13 fights (40%) against UFC/PRIDE champs!
You got anyone who can beat that?
I mean a current or former UFC fighter's FULL RECORD. Picking a least padded record in the UFC stint alone would be near impossible since the UFC barely has any cans. Sorry, thread title may have been a bit misleading to some.
EDIT 3: BEST FIGHTERS (least padded records) I've found through this discussion:
- Amir Sadollah
- Matt Riddle
