What was the most undeserving title shot in UFC history

[pepo6ka]

We've seen a bunch but I am tied between Lesnar/Couture and Sonnen/Jones with Diaz/GSP beeing a close second.

the guy whos first fight in the ufc was a title shot

 

[Bokelj]

Sonnen vs Bones
Diaz vs GSP

Both went from a loss to a TS

 

[FountOfWisdom]

Sonnen vs Jones - by a nautical mile. Sonnen came of two losses at a weight class lower and hadn't fought at LHW since quite a while.

This. Second goes to every Randy Couture shot-lol.

 

[Rvd Slmr]

Sonnen - Bones barely made sense when it was a last-minute option and then they decided to book it like a normal title fight.

 

[Bokelj]

Sonnen vs Jones - by a nautical mile. Sonnen came of two losses at a weight class lower and hadn't fought at LHW since quite a while.

Actually it was one loss, two fights won and then another shot at a higher weightclass

Diaz deserved the shot way more than Dan Hardy did bro

 

[TheScorpionDude]

Brock Lesnar by far.... 3 pro fights....at least Sonnen had a fighting career. I don't like either guy... ( i secretly like Sonnen trash talk )

It was on a couple of hours notice and the guy had a 6 fight win streak + he was not bad at all, so I don't agree really

Aldo's head coach, Pederneiras

No after Sonnen beat Stann and Bisping he then fight Anderson again and lost. Then he got the title shot.

Still undeserved but they knew he would sell it and had offered to step up on a couple days notice previously to save the event.

Joe Soto

 

[STARSCREAM]

Jeremy Horn vs Chuck Liddell

Patrick Cote Vs Anderson

Nate quarry vs Franklin
Miesha Tate vs Ronda only happened for sex appeal and you know it

 

[Sexy Jesus]

Dan Hardy Vs GSP :icon_chee And I'm a big Dan Hardy fan

 

[caged_mma]

I like Nate Quarry, but I don't think he was ready for his shot against Rich Franklin.

 

[Jblizzle]

Joe Soto

Soto deserved it just for stepping up imo

 

[Bokelj]

No after Sonnen beat Stann and Bisping he then fight Anderson again and lost. Then he got the title shot.

Still undeserved but they knew he would sell it and had offered to step up on a couple days notice previously to save the event.

So it was not 2 consecutive losses as it was commented before but one loss. He won vs Stann and Bisping lost vs Silva and got a TS.
