What's the smallest number of fight steps from UFC 1 to UFC 258?

[Not A Real Fan]

Steps must be chronological involving UFC fights only.


1) Royce Gracie (UFC 1)

2) Royce v. Matt Hughes (UFC 60)

3) Hughes v. GSP (UFC 79)

4) GSP v. Bisping (UFC 217)

5) Bipsing v. Kelvin Gastelum (UFC Fight Night: Bisping vs. Gastelum)

6) Gastelum v. Ian Heinesch (UFC 258)


Any smaller steps?

Damn. It shows how little thought I gave to my own idea!

1) Royce Gracie (UFC 1)

2) Gracie vs. Sakuraba (Pride GP 2000 Finals)

3) Sakuraba vs. Belfort (Pride 5)

4) Belfort vs. Gastelum (UFN 106)

Same number of steps, different way, and Vitor is good "six degrees of MMA" guy

I did say UFC fights only.

Regardless, here I am thinking I came up with an original idea for a thread. Turns out others have been thinking about this.

Kevn Rosier (UFC 1)

Rosier v. Joe Charles (UFC 4)

Charles v. Vitor (UFC 15.5)

Vitor v. Kelvin (UFC Fight Night: Belfort vs. Gastelum)

Kelvin v. Heinesch (UFC 258)


Not the shortest but the one with the most obscure fighters.

Patting myself on the back.

I'm not down on myself. I actually thought it was a dumb idea but then I thought fuck it. I may do this for every UFC event going forward.

[cws80us]

Definitely one of the most original topics on this forum in a long time! I don't have anything to contribute lol I thought it over and could not beat the 5 degrees that multiple already came up with.

 

[po_thead]

Fun thread! Royce and Vitor are wildcards

 

[Dreyga_King of Sherbums]

This should become a regular thing each PPV

Every event not just PPV. Maybe expand it to non-UFC events with UFC 1 as the starting point.

I could get on board with this being a regular thought exercise.
