I think it refers to a very well liked or inspirational fighter. Its not like a participation trophy as you have to be good as AND do something special, like sakuraba tapping conan and then schooling the gracies, all while remaining humble.
Ronda Rousey
You’re talking about fighters that myself, and a huge percentage of these boards have never seen fight.
I don’t understand. I was under the impression that it meant a fighter that either never got his deserved shot, for whatever reason. Or a fighter that was clearly robbed of a decision in a title fight.
Very well liked. Aren’t there hundreds of those? So anybody can be the People’s Champ?

*decadenceYeah you might say that, but I don’t mind stealin’ bread from the mouths of decadants. Dana can’t feed on the powerless, when his cup’s already overfilled. But it’s on the announcer’s table, and the PPV’s cookin’. And Izzy’s farmin’ babies, and Chimeav’s smeshin’.The blood is on the mat, and Gaethje’s chokin’. And guys like Ken Shamrock goin’ hungry.
Let's not forget that Tito literally changed his nickname and labelled himself "The People's Champ"
I guess being robbed could be another way to look at it. And yes a lot of fighters are very well liked, but some are almost universally loved. Like Holloway or shogun.
Universally loved... On Sherdog??
There’s no such thing.
Shogun probably.
Very hard to see people talk shit about him.
Cigano is a good option too.

Eh, true. Not here at least.
