Shoud Poatan be placed in 1st P4P?

[andgonsil]

Double champ and very active

Jones is inactive

Islam has just one belt

 

[PaddyO'malley]

yeah fam sounds good to me

 

[TR1]

How is he double champ?

Didn't he leave the MW divison on a stretcher?

 

[Corrado Soprano]

Pereira is already the greatest fighter who has ever existed. Might even be the greatest human ever born when it’s all said and done.

 

[Streeter]

No. Mach is #1 wether I like it or not . Poatan is the #1must see fighter though by a mile

Holds a win over 2/3 MW champions and is 3-1 against the guy who beat him in a fight he was winning prior.
Izzy is the one who said he wouldn't fight him again. pereira was down for it straight away and has even called him out since.

 

[AldoStillGoat]

Not even close. Islam and Jon Jones clear him.

So just to recap, he is NOT in fact a double champ at the moment, in no least part because he lost his last MW fight and is physically seemingly incapable of making that weight again?

He is a 2 division champ. He never held 2 belts and didn't defend at MW.

He actually called for a rematch with Izzy but Izzy said he was done whilst posting videos of the KO and tik tok dances.
He went up and fought the guy that Izzy lost to on his LHW debut because Izzy wouldn't take the match again.

 

[AmonTobin]

Yes just so we can read Jon Jones’ insecure tweets.

 

[gentel]

1. Islam
2. Pereira
3. Leon
4. Topuria
5. Jones

 

[Zanmato]

He's brilliant and I love seeing him fight but he has had favourable matchups at times and beating Jiri should not be considered the gateway to an all time status, his record and his skills (Jiri) don't justify it

 

[tymikeson]

I really liked how Alex was immediately going to console the downed jiri. He really knew how much this meant to his respected rival. He didnt care about hill thus the cheap celebration.

 

[swizztony]

Islam is pound for pound number one and it’s not even close. Pereira hasn’t even fought a grappler lmao, he made Jan blachowicz look like mf khabib on the ground.

LHW is such shit talent wise compared to LW that there’s no way in hell you can compare a guy beating herky jerky bums like Jiri to a guy like Islam beating all around elite martial artists like Charles volk and Dustin

 

[Edward Henry Greb]

Seeing as he is the ONLY dual-Champion ... and the only current fighter to beat 5 Champions, the answer is an easy YES.

 

[The Siege]

I would still have Makhachev at #1 for now.

His championship run has included:
- Prime Champ P4P #3 Oliveira by finish
- P4P #1 FW Champ Volk by DEC
- Short notice Volk by finish
- Top 5 LW Dustin by finish

Alex' championship run has been:
- Prime Champ P4P #? Izzy by finish
- KO loss to Izzy at MW
- Former Champ and Top LHW Jan by Decision
- LHW Champ Jiri by finish for a second belt
- Short notice former Champion Jamahal Hill by finish
- Short notice (for both) Jiri by finish

Honestly, I wouldnt be mad at Poatan being P4P#1 rn. The argument is there. Him getting KOed in a title fight is offset by the second belt.

No, according to most Alex fans that was a figment of our imagination.

Islam has beaten 2 former ufc champs

Poaten has beaten 5 former ufc champs

They are 1-1.

Two of those champs are jiri prochazka and Jamal mf hill, both of whom won the belt off a senior citizen. Weight class parity is a thing, somebody with the skillet of those two would never sniff the top 15 at LW
