Who is the biggest soul collector in UFC history?

[Eternalwarriorking]

It's not a huge list, but Jiri..

-obliterated Oezdemir, initiating the twilight of his career and perhaps cracking his chin also (we'll see if Murzakanov turns the lights out in Volkan's next fight)
-produced genuine concern in a community of bloodthirsty degenerates by basically murdering Dominic Reyes
-Dragged a game Glover through a sloppy hell until he finally tapped, with 30 seconds left, which would've secured an all-time classic for Glover to ride off into the sunset. And while the fight was two-way traffic, Glover surely realized that he didn't have too many performances like that left to offer.

Also, 96% finish rate

 

[BOTTICELLI]

Yoel Romero took both Rockhold and Weidmans souls!

 

[Bad Karate]

DC went on to have a great career after that. Hardly a soul that got took. Just one man being better than the other

Jon made D.C. who is one of the baddest men to ever fight cry like a baby in front of the world.

If this is not snatching someone's soul I don't know what is.

What Conor did to Jose, Eddie and Dustin in the 1st fight also was pretty brutal

 

[Bork Neslar]

What the fuck is a "soul collector".

 

[Project 2501]

Cain Velasquez took both Brock's and JDS, I guess I put him in the running.

Bigfoot as well. Than Ngannu took his soul

 

[ChimRichalds]

Surprisingly Kattar has gone on to look pretty good and kind of got robbed in the emmet loss

Agreed on both counts. He looked great against Emmett. I guess Max just dishes out horrific beatings, he's not much of a soul stealer as a lot of opponents come back and have success.

 

[Wormwood]

Anderson is great but whose soul did he take?

Forrest?

 

[OldFashion]

Forrest?

Again, Forrest won 3 out of his last 4 fights after Anderson

 

[Thepaintbucket]

Conors soul was split between Diaz/Mayweather/Khabib. Porier fought a Conor lite version

 

[Wormwood]

Doesn’t mean Anderson didn’t take his soul… beating Tito and Franklin at the end of their careers is hardly the fire Forrest had prior to Anderson…

All of them were in their early 30s when they fought. All of them were at the end of their careers at that point. So that's not a good argument. His soul was intact

How about woodleys soul taken by usman

By your reasoning, a few of the fighters on your list went on to win fights as well… negating your list?

Possibly

 

[Wormwood]

He ran out of the ring… when was the last time you saw a fighter do that? Just my opinion.. only Forrest knows

No, think. There has to be a huge drop off and downward trend in the quality of a fighter for the argument to be made. Forrest just doesn't show that. On top of that Anderson kod Griffin just after he already got kod by Rashad so even if you wanted to make that case you would have to credit Rashad not Anderson

We can agree to disagree as this very topic is open to subjective interpretation… interesting question for sure..

 

[bartleby929]

Ngannou:

Souls that got took:

Cain
Stipe
Dana

 

[WOLVERINEKILLS]

Does Ben Askren - Masvidal count?
Went from being undefeated, to being a meme, and then lost again and retired

Although not my favorite fighter, Mas took Askern, Till, Diaz..

 

[WOLVERINEKILLS]

Werdum: Took Fedor and Cain's souls.

Neither were the same afterwards… good call on Werdum.
