[IndyCovaHart]

cool

 

[McgreGOATsLeft]

He will successfully defend his belt against Overeem on a slightly different note.

 

[ThinkBig500]

Did you omit Overeem?

 

[neil_totally]

That is far fewer people than I would have expected

 

[M Raid K]

The UFC HW belt carries the lineage of many prestige HW championship belts (except Bellator).

 

[Haj01]

So when Ovaries beats Stone Cold. Does that mean everyman he lost to is now also the chumpion?

 

[Hi-Tech]

Did you omit Overeem?

I forgot him at first yes but corrected my mistake

 

[Summoning]

Sakuraba vs Igor Vovchanchyn was a draw.

So, no lineal.

 

[Hi-Tech]

That is far fewer people than I would have expected

And pretty much only legends on the list.

Actually its Harold Howard

 

[Hi-Tech]

Sakuraba vs Igor Vovchanchyn was a draw.

So, no lineal.

No it's not, it counts as a loss because Sakuraba withdrew, basically gave up (although understandable given that he just fought for eternity with Royce before that, but still a loss).

 

[Concrete Whale]

He will have 0 defences, Demolition Man is coming and could possibly get 3 defences, which would be the HW record.

 

[Hi-Tech]

Actually its Harold Howard

No he's not, even if you go with that line it's

Royce- Harold Howard - Steve Jennum - Tank Abott - Dan Severn - Coleman - Maurice Smith - Randy Couture - Inoue - Fujita - Coleman - Nog - Fedor etc.

My bad, i thought that was howArds last fight

 

[LiveFreeorDie]

But who kept it the longest while still active?

 

[glennrod]

Nice one..

 

[Thisisme2]

Thats nice. Very intersting.
But what really matters and what would give this thread weight: does he have the saku belt?
