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

Reminds me of Belal in that he can really follow a gameplan. If things go south, just go right back to what you were doin.

He had to be goddamned A++ on his shit to beat Rampage the way he did. You have to get that gameplan off to the bitter end.

Well the judges robbed rampage. He did have a good win over shogun but shogun avenged it brutally in the rematch

Midway, Nog got himself back in the fight with the standup. He adjusted.

I’m remember the sweep into the sub. Did I get that wrong? I was rooting for Nog, fwiw, but it still was kinda cheap. The Pride fanboy in me didn’t, and still doesn’t mind. I’m just trying to illustrate the point that Tim was a lot better than people give him credit for around here.

No you didnt get it wrong, he kinda pulled Tim into his guard and swept him, teased an armbar and when Tim tried to escaped, locked in a guillotine

I was sayin though, even though Nog got beat up for the first half of the fight, he eventually got Tim's timing down and was doing well. Nog's a good striker, but his defense isnt there. He just sort of stands there, he's there to be hit. Offensivley he is good.

Tim's TDD was pretty good here too, def used the cage to help himself.

Nog got him down but the round was over. So next rd nog just pulled guard on him and started the finishing sequence. Once Nog got him on the ground, it was over. Nog's game is to get you in the transition. You trying to get away,try to pass, he snatches something.

That's why he had such a hard time w Fedor. Fedor just stayed in his guard and blasted the shit out of him.

Thanks for helping us all JP. Great post, especially for a white belt ! <joy>
Brawk's wrestling credentials are legit.
No doubt VA, Lesnar was a gifted monster, Fast, powerful AF, a dangerous explosive athlete with Super Legit wrestler cred, a D1 nightmare for anyone. IIRC his background was Only wrestling, no boxing, striking, or any martial arts to help round out his combat skills.

Regardless, No Way does Brock qualify as the least skilled Champion.
 
Probably ruffle some feathers, but I feel like it's Forrest Griffin. I don't think he was particularly skilled in any facet. Just tough and had a lot of heart. He was well-rounded but not great at anything. A jack of all trades but master of none.
