Will this UFC record ever be broken?

Didn't Brock lose to frank then beat heath?

Yeah I was wrong. Silva still is top. But I feel like their past history in Pride shouldn't count. And if you count mma records before the title shot, Brock has to be top.

Do Bronx fought in 28 UFC fights before becoming the UFC LW champ.

Do you think that's a record that will ever be broken? He is kind of an anomaly.

Andrei Arlovski fought 30 times in the UFC after becoming champion and losing the belt. That's arguably going to be a more difficult record to break. And it's getting to 31 this Saturday.

Hey man, he's up next against like the 80th ranked MW... cut him some slack lol

Rankings are nonsense, Brundage is clearly worse than 80th (and he's 55th anyways) almost 30, tons of losses, a completely solved and peaked fighter who has no real natural abilities or technical skills. Also he's clearly a WW size wize.

There's a long list of prospects and guys ranked below him who would be way more dangerous for Bo to fight and are just better. Rankings will always be UFC weighted but 13-9 Jamie Pickett and 10-5 Cody Brundage would lose to good regional talent all over the world potentially. They were never anything close to special.

The 80th ranked MW is Nobert Novenyi Jr by the way, probably a better MW prospect than Bo honestly. 7-0 pro, 3-0 amateur and 24 years old. His father Norbert Novenyi Sr was an Olympic Gold medalist in Greco, Nobert trained under him until 14 competing in Greco in Europe, and then when living in the UK he went to London Shootfighters with Michael Page and whatnot and has trained at AKA and with Cormier directly. Dudes super athletic, quick and hard hitting. Norbert had his first amateur fight at 16, was training out of a MMA gym since 14 and wrestled his entire life and had some kickboxing training as a kid too (his father also won Euro titles in Kickboxing post wrestling glory)

The ranking doesn't make Brundage a can, he just...has nothing to offer Bo outside some flukey weird thing happening.
 
Bisping got pretty close- he had 25 UFC fights and 2 in TUF before he got the belt.
 
Bisping gotta be similar, no?

Edit: also 28 if you count TUF.

What isn’t a record is that he had a 10 fight winning streak before he got his shot like almost everyone else lately. Khabib, Islam , Charles, Tony, Volko, and Dariush who didn’t even get a shot. Charles had more losses than all of them combined.

By the geriatric speed that Bo Nickal is moving up the ranks, I predict a TS by 2027 with 30 UFC fights under his belt :rolleyes:

Bo won’t have 30 fights by 2047. If he did have 30 fights by the way he is going he would have cleaned out the top 60 with out ever facing a top 30.
 
Song Yadong has a chance.
26 years old, 13 fights in the UFC, top 15 for years.

Probably sometime, but not in our lifetime.

Has anyone ever told you that sometime saying less is more?

He is definitely not a tiny mw... on the regional scene he won a 205 lb fight and his size and strength is one of his only good qualities... 6 ft 1 and tossed a mw on his head in his last fight not thin.... that said...

Bo has never fought an opponent with a ufc win... Brundage has 4 at the low end of ufc MWs...

Bo is clearly a much better prospect and should easily win but it's not a step down for him it's a reasonable step up based on who he has fought and beat.. not based on his wrestling pedigree... not everyone is going the Cain or Weidman path and fighting ranked guys in there 5th fight and I could argue it actually shortened those careers by a lot...

This is a long shot but imagine Alex Caceres with 29 UFC fights winning a title someday. But na he's 35 already and never breaking into top 5.

If the roster of the UFC (and the working conditions) were back in 2005 the size it was in 2010, Robbie might have accumulated a whooping 32 UFC fights the second he became a champ.

Remember when Robbie was hyped as the future of UFC?

Robbie had a great comeback story. I remember most people thinking he would get beat by koscheck and sent packing. He went on to win a few then lose a decision against Hendricks for the title, put some wins together and then beat Johny to win the belt. If you would have told me in 2010/2011 Robbie would be welterweight champ I would have thought you were crazy
