Whose title is more fraudulent?

[Ares Black]

No, it's some real hardcore shit that doesn't buy into bullshit.

No, it's idiotic hater nonsense. TS should be ashamed of himself, and so should you.

 

[PaddyO'malley]

Whom*

 

[HavokHarmon]

The HW champion left town and Jon fought the highest-ranked available guy.

GSP was specifically called out by the worst MW champion in modern history, promised to defend the belt, but then retired due to tummy-aches.

Exactly, GSP won a real belt. Jones didn’t.

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

Exactly, GSP won a real belt. Jones didn’t.

Where was the real HW belt, then? Franci$ had been gone for 3 months at that time.

You said it yourself, the real heavyweight champ left town so Jones just fought a high ranked guy whereas GSP fought the actual middleweight champ.

I kind of feel bad for the OP now. Imagine making a thread then getting your jimmies rustled for 2 days over 9 pages.

 

[ForeverYoung]

Yeah yeah yeah, and blah blah blah.

Fedor's HW reign was completely dominant over multiple combat sports for a full decade. He fought the biggest and baddest dudes on the planet - anyone, anywhere, of any discipline that had the stones to step up and get some.

"B-Bu-but Fedor". Seriously FY, not typing will help to hide your ignorance.

Taking a cheap shot against Fedor - Dana and Cowardboy Pico beam at your subservience.

The biggest baddest dudes on the planet Half the dudes on Fedors MMA record don't make it out of todays US regional scene. The Nostalgia of some of yall is baffling. Atleast the true MMA GOAT is going to retire the right way. Unlike Fedor getting KO'd by cans into his late 40's for 100k flat

Gane was not just a high ranked guy, he was the previous HW champion that won the title by dominating Derrick Lewis in striking for 3 round before KO'ing him. That Derrick Lewis that beat Francis easily because Francis was too scared to get close enough to Lewis to even try to pretend he wanted to fight

Right, he was a former interim champ who had some good wins and was ranked highly for it. A high ranked guy.

 

[icemun]

GSP's middleweight title or Jones' heavyweight title?

• both won it against sub-optimal competition (old Bisping in the case of GSP and green Gane in the case of Jones)
• both won it after being inactive (GSP was retired for 4 years, Jones had a 3 year long layoff)
• both appeared to duck top competition in their respective divisions (GSP didn't hold title for too long but also he didn't defend it against Whittaker, while Jones is waiting for his defense against old Stipe)

Wait Gane is GREEN today???
Jesus what does that say about Aspiral then?

Gane was going to be the true HW that was going to send Jones to the SHADOW REALM. Check the archive
he was the #1 ranked HW who just went the distance with the previous HW champ, who fled the organization instead of fighting Jones

No, not A high ranked guy, THE HIGHEST RANKED GUY

 

[Dana's Moonface]

GSP haters are the lowest form of scum on Sherdog.

Worse than wmma haters??

 

[Dana's Moonface]

Watch out! The fighter bashing of Jon is alright apparently but if you bash GSP it's gonna be your ass.

Yep, just because one guy plays a nice guy

Sure, the highest ranked guy once the champion left. I’m fine with that distinction if it’s important to you. GSP beat the champion for the title and Jones beat the highest ranked contender for the title.
