Will it ever be broken

[Cowboy Kurt Angle]

No one in Lightweight has defended the Lightweight title in a reign more then 3 times in the UFC

BJ Penn 3, Frankie Edgar 3, Benson Henderson 3, Khabib Nurmagomedov 3,

No one in Bantamweight has defended the title more then 2 times in a reign in the UFC

Dominick Cruz 2, Renan Barão 2, T.J. Dillashaw 2

 

[Reign009]

Yes

 

[TempleoftheDog]

Yes, especially with such low numbers. It took a long time for Stipe to do it at HW. Someone will do it.

 

[jk7707]

Maybe eventually. But both divisions are shark tanks right now. I don't see anyone so dominant right now that it's gonna happen any time soon.

 

[DaRivv20]

Hopefully. But it’s a testament to why the UFC lightweight and bantamweight divisions are the most stacked.

Islam can get the defense record if he wins the belt and Yan will beat the record when he gets his belt back.

 

[AmericanUppercut]

Will it EVER?
HELL NO - NEVER!

Spoiler

Extremely high probability given UFC should be around a while.
The only logical answer is yes, of course.

 

[Fraz]

Indubitably, but right now both divisions are a murderers row of shark tanks

 

[Pancake Sprawl]

Yes, especially with such low numbers. It took a long time for Stipe to do it at HW. Someone will do it.

yeah, but it took forever at HW to be broken and it's a historically weak division. LW and BW have monsters lurking in the top 10.

 

[RondoPG]

Motivated conor 8.0 does it

 

[Cowboy Kurt Angle]

4 years later

Islam broke the defence record at LW in January at UFC 311

Merab is currently tied for the record of most BW defences at BW could break the record in December

 

[Cowboy Kurt Angle]

Islam can get the defense record if he wins the belt and Yan will beat the record when he gets his belt back.

Bang on with the Islam prediction

just goes to show how hard it is to defend, even a few times. which is what makes guys like anderson gsp liddell so special.
