Who had a memorable 2nd weight class title run: Jon or Conor?

[Pequeño Corey]

But Jones is the only fighter who went up weight class, won the title and somehow hurt his legacy more.

Only if you're blind with hate. Capturing and defending a belt in a second weight class, even under the most ideal circumstances, is never a bad thing.

Conor's was far more memorable...but for all the wrong reasons.

Jones and its not even close.

There were never really any runs. They were more like crawls or jogging on the spot. JJ wasted everyone's time.

Ehhh, I feel like UFC wanted someone from UFC to have Ngannou's recent wins, to delegitimize Ngannou's resume. Hence why Jones took Gane and Stipe. It's strange how Stipe counts for Ngannou while he was champ, but his next fight was supposed to be 2 years later and it's considered a complete exhibition. I get it was 3 years later because Jones injury. Still both Jones and Stipe had similar mileage at that point.
