UFC Champs who..

[bambammccoy]

Didnt fade into obscurity after losing their belt or didnt start the decline of their careers when they lost their belt.

JDS is the only one that comes to mind.

Couture? Arlovsky kind of?

 

[MajJ]

Benson Henderson

 

[bambammccoy]

Benson Henderson

Damn how did I not think of Benson.

 

[Cherry]

Machida?

 

[DarthChen731]

Dave Menne is definitely still relevant

 

[MajJ]

Dominic Cruz, kinnndaaaaa

 

[CTYankee]

Damn how did I not think of Benson.

So, basically the recent ones? Barao, Anderson, Cain, Machida. If you wait long enough, they all do.

 

[marksmen]

Machida for sure. Vitor. Faber?. Barao won't.

 

[Mr Serge]

Gsp

 

[Mr Serge]

Dave Menne is definitely still relevant

lol most people on here wont know who he is.

 

[Silverstar17]

Frankie is also still relevant. He is not really in the picture right now because TUF takes so damn long.

Also Rashad.

 

[Belmont Bomber]

Belfort

 

[pclanadmin2]

machida's the best example.

 

[Mista Fafas]

GSP is the best example.

Couture? Arlovsky kind of?

well couture in the sense he won a belt so many times. you could say the same for bj after losing the WW belt.

frankie's still going strong.

bendo's definitely still in his prime

machida dropped a weight class and still seems very prime

franklin took big fights and remained relevant at least as an entertaining fighter

cain retook the belt

(lesnar definitely faded)

(hughes seemed sort of irrelevant after losing to GSP but still had some big fights)

 

[elzar]

Frankie is also still relevant. He is not really in the picture right now because TUF takes so damn long.

Also Rashad.

forgot about rashad. man was LHW ever fluid up til the jones era.

 

[Ninjapunch209]

Frank Shamrock was beyond relevant when he vacated his belt.

Way to early to say that about JDS.

 

[Mma Adiction]

Frankie Edgar is The Answer.

 

[cumafish]

Just about anyone not named Chuck, that was a massive fall after losing to Page.
