Was rich Franklin the last true MW champion?

Anderson - career tainted by PED use.

Weidman - two freak wins vs Anderson and couldnt defend vs Luke.

Luke - lost title instantly to Bisping

Bisping - took novelty fights over ranked fights a champion should take.

Gsp - vacated belt instantly.


Going by who defended the belt, and who has not tainted it by their actions, I can only conclude that Rich Franklin is the last true MW champion, as far as what a champion is supposed to represent.

Weidman's win over Anderson was no fluke - not more flukish than Cain's over Brock. Weidman is the true MW champion and GOAT of GOATs according to your "reasoning".

Ace ventura ftw

The all natty school teacher?

Also, Weidman’s wins weren’t flukes

Seeing it put like that, really puts into question the state of the mw division in the past. I think Whittaker will be champ for quite some time though

A leg break is kinda flukey

the second one was, even though he beat the shit out of him in the first round

He’d have got knocked out too buddeh

Why are you ignoring Weidman's title defences against Lyoto and Belfort?

 

[Muppettoker]

A leg break is kinda flukey

Checked the same kick right before, it was obviously something he’d worked on.
But the break itself, kinda I guess.

No Chael P was. The division just hasn’t been able to recover since he vacated for a superfight against Jones...

 

[SuperNerd]

Stop acting stupid

PEDs or not, Anderson is something we had never seen before. He was a wizard.

What a weird thing to say. Cain's destruction of Bork was no fluke. He was the superior fighter.
