And Hughes beat Frank Trigg twice, who beat Hallman twice...

Which means that Luke now holds the unified UFC-SF-WEC-Pride (PrideWW 183lb) belt:

Silva unified UFC and Pride belts by beating Hendo. Silva unified UFC and WEC lineal belts by beating Sonnen. Luke lost his lineal SF MW belt to Vitor, who lost to Weidman, who beat Silva. In beating Weidman, Luke now holds 4 lineal belts.

he does not hold the saku belt, so it means nothing.

 

[ShackleMeNot]

he does not hold the saku belt, so it means nothing.

If my lineage is correct, stipe is now the lineal saku belt holder

 

[deviake]

Dominick Cruz once beat up a poor ol' "ninja".

 

[Drake]

Clay Guida was once on a 15 fight win streak.

 

[the can]

If my lineage is correct, stipe is now the lineal saku belt holder

i think you are correct.

 

[ShackleMeNot]

i think you are correct.

I traced it through Wikipedia only counting mma fights, but not paying attention to weight classes. I'll figure out the lineage just through 183 our whatever his regular weight class was in a minute

If you go through pride mw/ufc lhw division only counting title fights at 203/205, then Jones holds the saku belt through that lineage

Yup. Saku-wand-hendo-rampage-forrest-rashad-machida-shogun-jones

 

[the can]

Yup. Saku-wand-hendo-rampage-forrest-rashad-machida-shogun-jones

so, does DC get it by default? since the title was "stripped" and there was no way to know if jones would ever come back, we are going to need a DC/jones fight to unify the lineal saku belt.

I'm going only on losses where belts changed hands. I'm sure if I get bored, I can come up with yet another lineage
