NBK was the WEC WW champion ( Successfully defended 3 times ). Yes, I know... You said UFC record. But, it’s also about context.
Lost a SD to Kampmann in his UFC debut.
Then beat Ellenberger, Rory, Hardy, and DHK in succession. Then beat Nick to become the Interim Champion.
Lost to GSP ( EVERY fighter the GOAT EVER fought lost to him ). No shame in that.
Then he lost to PRE-USADA Hendricks. Only 3 fighters were able to beat Pre-USADA Hendricks. All 3 were by decision. Johny’s record since USADA pretty much explains that. Absolutely, ZERO shame in losing to that version of Hendricks.
He then avenged the Kampmann loss. And, also beat Alves.
Since Hendricks, he also lost to Woodley, Robbie, and Maia. With VERY MANY ppl thinking he actually beat Robbie in that Title Fight.
And, I think that decision loss to Robbie in a title fight, just took his will to fight. Helping to explain the quick loss to Maia. When you devote your life to one goal like that. And then get screwed over. It can take the wind out of your sail.
Colby beat both DHK, and Maia by decision. And who else ??? A bunch of guys nobody ever heard of.
The strength of those resumes don’t even compare.
And, wtf is this “ racist “ shit ?
