Dominick Cruz didnt finish fights but he made his opponents look silly and would still do the same to the current bantamweights. Prime Cruz is one of the best fighters of all time
Dominick Cruz is one of the GOATs and even shills and uneducated fans such as @20falarVerdades have acknowledged Cruz as one of the GOATs
 
miesha tate has a higher finish rate then GSP <45><45><45><45><45>
 
Is this their finishing percentages out of their whole careers or as champions?


Because GSPs percentages should drop to negatives...

A better figure would be the % from the start of their careers until they lost the belt

but it's still a nice research, ts
 
Give the man likes for his effort, you ingrates!
 
I would have never guessed Evan Tanner had the highest finish rate of any male champion. That's pretty insane actually. WAR Tanner and RIP Champ
 
Ronda Rousey 100% finisher or finished off

These should be adjusted for their title fights only not their overall finishing percentage.

Thanks for all the effort..............but the JBG will curse 4 generations of your family for your wasting time on the internet instead of lifting heavy things and hurting people.
 
Out of wins isn't an accurate look. Losses need to be incorporated, because BJ Penn drops from 81.2% to 43% when you incorporate the fights he failed to finish because he failed to win.
 
Well that just wrecked about a million arguments for reasons Fighter A is better than fighter B.

I’ve been thinking this forever. I think someone figured out it makes their favorite fighter look better if you exclude losses.

I almost did it this way but decided to do just wins to show who tends to finish when they win. Perhaps I’ll do that another time. Thanks for the feedback!
