Who is the least skilled male UFC Champion of all time ?

[Sean Chowdhury]

My Pick:

 

[VinceArch]

TS might have the best answer.

 

[BrockLesnarsTurtleBack]

Royce Gracie

Royce Gracie

It has to take some serious skill for a skinny Brazilian to submit a Roided-Out Shamrock.

 

[Donnybat]

Royce Gracie

It's who's least skilled bro. Joyce is a legit black belt.
Jamal is black and has a belt, that's different

 

[Natural Order]

The shooped tat hands are gold lol

 

[joy2day]

It was actually Steve Jennum.

Winning the title over Harold Howard. The second fight is against a legit boxer actually. Not a top contender, but journeyman pro.

 

[Pequeño Corey]

Jamahal might still be very good. No shame in getting ko’d by Poatan.

I used to think Bisping, but there has to be better answers than that.

Kinda hard when you’re comparing different eras and weight classes.

I just think his striking sometimes looks like an amateur fighter, he has accurate punches but he always drops his lead hand when he throws a punch which is why he got ko'd by pereira and his footwork is very flat. Against glover and santos he was leaning back with his chin in the air as a form of defense

Allow me to help you all choose your response...

Inaugural WMMA 125 pounds champ, what's-her-face... The one who vacated and never defended?
Nicco Montaño, thanks google!

Fine but LHW is trash so he was able to get away with it. He has power for sure, and sometimes that’s enough.

The Randy fight destroyed any and all momentum Sylvia built up.

Dude was a gangly horror show, but he was a monster for a brief time.

 

[MMASpeculator]

Brock Lesnar unless brute force is a skill

 

[VinceArch]

Brawk's wrestling credentials are legit.

 

[Skarsgard]

Modern era: Tim Sylvia. He was just big in an era where that was enough. His boxing and kickboxing weren't anything to write home about. His grappling was nonexistent.

 

[Joel Peterson]

Forrest Griffin. Guy was a fearless hard worker, but didn't pose any real threat on the ground or on the feet.

 

[Pancake Sprawl]

people aren't going to like this, but Pereira. from the little i've seen, his grappling sucks balls. i don't think there's ever been a male UFC champion who looked as lost on the ground as Pereira did. sure, he's knocked out fair amount of UFC champions, but the key here is he knocked them out. he's fightng kickboxing matches in MMA, how much skill does he need when the guys just play his game anyway? he's supposed to be the striking God and nearly got wrecked by Khalil "i got folded by 1 elbow from Johny Walker" Rountree.
