[Ninja]

Mauricio "Shogun" Rua

 

[ThoseAreMyShoes]

Lyoto Machida. Only a complete robbery technically gives him a defense.

 

[BisexualMMA]

Good list, tough call. Cross off Conor and probably Forrest, and WW BJ for the real contenders.

 

[El Che]

Probably Shogun, just a shame his first defense came against the eventual GOAT who was on a path of destruction.

 

[Brock Tober]

Why is Conor on this list?

 

[danny23]

Hendricks.

 

[Weidman]

Holly Holm

 

[HHJ]

Lyoto Machida. Only a complete robbery technically gives him a defense.

not technically. He has it.

 

[screaminleeman]

Say what you will.

Randy at LHW beat Chuck Liddell for the belt, Beat Tito Ortiz next, got robbed of the belt being poked in the eye by clearly one of the dirtiest fighters ever to enter the octagon THAT HE HAD ALREADY FINISHED previously in the UFC HW division, and then revenged said cheap loss by FINISHING said fighter again in four straight LHW championship contests.

Fuck Of! Without this technical troll attempt, my vote goes to BJ.

 

[Taric]

Nogueira is the most accomplished UFC champion that never defended his belt.

 

[IMSAYIN]

LMAO... No, you're completely gibbled... All those ppl attempted to defend. Conor has yet to do that much.

LOL... 6 yrs here, and ten online, and I still fall for these BS threads... Good job TS...You got me.

Attaboy... Cause surely you're not comparing any of those ppl with Conor. Even Rousey took on all comers.

 

[joeyjoejoe]

Matt Serra. Don't hate he was good lol.

To be fair he got cut by the stitches on the glove not an eye poke.

 

[HIMBOB]

Lyoto Machida. Only a complete robbery technically gives him a defense.

Lyoto 123

 

[TwoFace]

BJ Penn

 

[EXOICHO]

BJ Penn at WW

it isn't even close. The guy has fought everybody.

 

[Randy BoBandy]

Could be Condit if you count Interim belt, otherwise probably Shogun

 

[screaminleeman]

To be fair he got cut by the stitches on the glove not an eye poke.

Hence the reason for the rule of why the stitches on the gloves are taped to begin with. We cannot accuse Vitor of being one dimensional bending rules, that is for sure!

Lot of good choices there. Shamless plug for pre-accident Mir. His only setback came at the hands of Ian Freeman who used an illegal kick to the head to escape a heel hook.

He was finishing everyone. Took out Timmy in 50 seconds who was a legit 16-0 HW. Still had bone breaking submissions (broke Roberto Traven's arm, Sylvia's arm), was in great shape and had explosiveness. Once he learned to overcome adversity (a trait he learned from the accident itself) he could've been even more amazing.
