Worst fighter to become champion?

I'd argue Eddie Alvarez was a better champ, than say, Michael Bisping.
 
Hold up does this include does this include interim Champs ( even tho now that I think about all interim Champs might still be better then serra and Menne)

Yes, I mostly see him in Phil Baroni and Maurilo Bustamante's highlight reels.

So you didnt actually watch him fight.
Yet here you are, posting about him in a forum :eek::eek::eek:
 
Anyone from the last 10-15 years can't really be a good answer I'd reckon, the talent pool was decent enough for any title holder to be elite.
 
You have to account for the era because by definition a lot of the 90s and 00s champs would be nowhere close to title contention against today's fighters.

Forrest and Jan are the 2 that come to mind. Both earned it over opponents they had no chance of winning(Forrest did so twice) but it was clear then and is clear now they weren't the best in their division.

Bendo and Edgar got 3 defenses but felt as if they were on borrowed time the whole way through.

Sylvia was actually the best fighter cause his division sucked after all the talent from the early 2000s left or got into accidents. That's why Randy came out of retirement where a few years earlier he'd had to leave HW. That's how Brock became a UFC champ and he'd be up on this list too. Like Conor was been handed his status the last 5 years or so but he actually earned the 145 belt. NO ONE will ever get a title shot ever again after going 1-1 in their first two UFC fights like Brock. Brock got destroyed by every relevant fighter he fought after avenging the loss to post accident Mir and only beat Carwin because the ref didn't stop the fight and Carwin was too tired in the second round.
 
Wow some good fighters are being mentioned as worst champs here. Wtf.

in the day though he was starching HW's. I was never a big fan as he looked awkward, but you cant deny his success.

Yeah, this. You don't accidentally win a UFC belt twice. Everyone just remembers that steaming turd of a third fight with Arlovski and the Fedor beatdowns, but he not only beat but KOd the best of the division for a long time.

He had a lot of good wins. He was just awkward as fuck, physically difficult to look at, and the belt thing was cringe.

Somewhere out there Goober Taylor is crying over your comment.

Conor Mcgregor

not due to skill set. Why would we want a champ that NEVER tries to defend a belt,
it’s counter intuitive.

Finally some recent Conor hate that isn’t about Khabib!

I swear people of Irish decent are never going to live this fucker down! At least Australian nationals have Rob but Volk been acting a little bad lately, maybe he’s just hungry because if he used to weigh as much as Honda Civic.

TS got cucked by Latino Heat, after that he went to TacoBell and got called a cracker.

Strangest thing was it was a Latino who said it so it was even more offensive because Latinos can’t say that only our fine African brothers and sisters can say that about us.
