UFCs current Champs are all better than every previous champion

[Pancake Sprawl]

Ankalaev lost to Paul Craig. there is NO TIME in DC or Jon Jones careers where they'd lose to a pleb like Paul Craig.

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

Jon, Big Daniel, Glover, Bader, Phil Davis, and even Rumble would take Uncle Aev to wrestling school.

 

[TRYHARD 2001]

I am done as you are way too biased to really give credit where it is due. You cannot even admit to objective facts that don't favor your selective argument.

p.s. Rockhold is hypothetically talking about moving up to 205 lbs and being at 210 - 215 lbs, if he moves up to 205 lbs. I am wasting my time arguing at such level of bias. Not middleweight weight. He said himself on twitter of his fight night weight that he weighs 200 lbs and he looks no bigger than 200 lbs given he is a tall guy. I can see him next to Jan who weighed 210 lbs and he looks much smaller.

And we're saying losing to Jan is embarrassing? Like, Jan isn't any good? This Jan right here?

The guy's an absolute monster and there's no shame in getting sparked by him. At all.

Flyweight - Pantoja potentially would have a tough time against prime Cejudo, and prime Mighty Mouse, but other than that he beats everyone

Bantamweight - Merab cleared out his division, he beat pretty much everyone, and will continue to do so

Featherweight - Topuria is knocking heads off former champs left and right, he already beat all of the "goats" of featherweight in 1 year.

Lightweight - Islam destroys everyone, only has 1 loss earlier in his career. Only tough matchup is Khabib, but Islam is more skilled in everything not wrestling/grappling

Welterweight - Belal Muhammad had to fight everyone for a title shot, hes basically a clone of kamaru usman but with dagestani style, and hypertropia.

Middleweight - DDP already beat the modern goats of middleweight, and hes finishing almost everyone.

Light Heavyweight - Ankalaev is a dagestani monster. He uses his dagestani ball hugging techniques to defeat his opponents. Jones would be his toughest matchup.

Heavyweight - Jon Jones is the greatest mma fighter of all time regardless PED use, never lost except for a foul, beat 3 generations of champions, he would have a few tough matchups at heavyweight. Ngannou post Ciryl Gane is a nightmare for Jones, but pre Stipe 1 Ngannou would be a lot easier. Prime Cain Velasquez would be hard, basically a bigger stronger ballistic version of DC, and finally Aspinall, but he's not champ.

While this should actually be the case as the sport progresses, I don’t agree it is the case currently. I mean, Belal better than GSP? DDP better than Anderson? Ank better than Jones? Islam is probably the only one you could make a case for. The rest have a hell of a lot more to prove first.

Islam is literally the only one that we have an argument for being the peak of the division. No one thinks that for anyone else that's currently champion. The only other person that has an argument is Merab as he's beaten seemingly every other 135er regardless of personal opinion about his style.
Bones isnt in the convo as he's ducking the real champion and would have met his match in a prime Timmeh

 

[Juzie]

The current UFC champions are actually the only good fighters in history. The previous champs were never any good.

 

[PaddyO'malley]

LMFAOLL fam

Islam barely got past Volk inna di 1st scrap wha yuh tink him finna do against prime BJ or Beebz
GSP Belal wuld look like GSP Fitch
Anderson wuld matrix tf oot of DDP send his azz back tuh Africa no racist
Uncle Ivan lost to an prolly get whoop by mi yute Jamahill DC tek him tuh suplex city JJ whoop him everywhere Liddell sleeps him wid a ovahand
Brock wuld F5 JJ JJ still di tho nuh get ting inna twist

Di rest yuh right tho mi rate it solid tread as always broski proud of u

 

[Foppa21]

It's kinda the way it works. ie. the current one is better than the previous.

I don't agree with OPs assessment though. Don't have time to go through it and if I've got time later I might revisit

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

Disgusting. You one of the ones who have a new ''greatest p4p fighter ever'' every other month eh.

Deary deary me

So Belal > GSP?

 

[fortheo]

Ankalaev couldn't even beat former champ Blachowicz, and blachowicz was like 40 years old. So to suggest he's the best champ ever in that weight class is crazy to me lol. Don't even get me started on the fact that GSP exists.

 

[Koro_11]

Exactly. I was laughing when I read it. Prime Rockhold would be easily get beaten by Dricus. Rockhold in his prime was getting beaten easily. Weidman also similar case as well as Franklin who lost to many fighters of that era. Dricus is better both of these everywhere and way stronger, bigger. Prime Anderson is the only one I would say, be a tough fight for Dricus so that is where I would agree.

Those won't 2 be able to bully Dricus like they did with most of their opponents, they also have shit IQ which Dricus would exploit sooner or later.

Jan broke prime Rockhold's jaw, from what I remember. This guy would get murdered by Dricus.

Exactly, Rockhold love to fight with his hands down like he is silva, he forget he doesn't have his striking and especially not his chin.

Rockhold is vulnerable cause of his defense and chin no doubt, I would still pick him to win but he can always get caught. Weidman on the other hand would have his way with DDP.

Weidman and Rockhold were both very shaky, but prime Spider's style is tailor made for a guy like Dricus who over commits and leaves himself open to counters.

Prime Anderson would put him in the matrix like he did Forrest Griffin, and he would do the same to Weidman and Rocksalt.

[MetaIIica]

So Belal > GSP?

Belal would probably beat GSP

 

[Doctor Grudge]

I love how youre making up meaningless terms like Dagestani style to Anklaev and Belal to make it seem like they are Khabib like, when they're not.

 

[Koro_11]

Belal would probably beat GSP

Maybe, because GSP is like 45 years old.

Prime GSP would mop the octagon with him.

Prime GSP would mop the octagon with him.

There are a few guys Belal would probably struggle with. I'm not even sure how he beats prime Usman to be honest?

 

[Elegant]

Bantamweight - Merab cleared out his division, he beat pretty much everyone, and will continue to do so

Loses to Prime TJ with ease

Welterweight - Belal Muhammad had to fight everyone for a title shot, hes basically a clone of kamaru usman but with dagestani style, and hypertropia.

Lol come on dawg, Belal loses to prime GSP, Hendricks, Woodley, Usman, Lawler, current Topuria & Islam, as well as like 3-4 other people currently at 170. He's one of the worst champions we've ever had in the UFC

Light Heavyweight - Ankalaev is a dagestani monster. He uses his dagestani ball hugging techniques to defeat his opponents. Jones would be his toughest matchup.

Lol, Ankalaev is good but he soundly loses to prime Rumble, DC, Jones, and Gus

You misunderstood what I wrote. I never said that. Jan is great. He is 40 now so I don't know how he will be able to get back into the title contention against Mogamed (he wants to spoil the party for the rematch). My whole comment was around Rockhold.

 

[BjPenn2017]

Prime Anderson vs Dricus would be Forrest Griffin level domination
