Fans are better at finding minutia.
But journalists are exponentially better at writing up a clear and concise analysis.
I edited my post to make it shorter (more concise). Maybe I shouldn't have.You are giving them too much credit. I have seen better analysis on Sherdog, /r/MMA or even YouTube.
wow!!!! amazing!!!
such an important stat!!!
To be fair, Overeem was granted a title shot much earlier, but he lost it when he popped for elevated testosterone. It's not a great technicality, given that Reem didn't fight for a title until he fought Stipe.I thought fact checking is a criteria for journalism. They are professionals. As a professional they are setting up a very low bar with these rudimentary mistakes they keep making.
Masvidal fought for the SF title in 2011, so no, it's not that.I thnk he meant, the most experience before getting their first title shot, not any title shot
it's his twitter account. not exactly a newspaper article. it's not that big a deal. it's less of an mma "stat" than trivia.I thought fact checking is a criteria for journalism. They are professionals. As a professional they are setting up a very low bar with these rudimentary mistakes they keep making.

He meant that Masvidal had the highest number of career fights before fighting for his first UFC title. Not any title in any org, just UFC. And he wasn't talking about total UFC fights before getting a title shot, because I wouldn't have answered with Overeem as that's not correct.Not sure what Mike Bohn means here.
Masvidal won the vacant AFC title and has had other title shots in his career prior to UFC.
So I am guessing he is talking about amount of fights in the UFC before getting a title shot?
If that's the case the twitter replier is wrong about Overeem who got his title shot against Stipe after like 8-10 fights or something in the UFC where Masvidal has like 18 fights or something in the UFC right now.
Bisping would probably be the record holder in that regard tho, pretty sure he had over 20+ fights before fighting for the title in the UFC.
Clearly, Sherdog reporters like Jay Pettry are far superior to MMAJunkie reporters like Mike Bohn.
Sherdog has you covered.
