So apparently if Gleison Tibau makes it to the octagon on Sunday he will tie Randy Couture for third place with respect to number of UFC bouts. Tibau's 24 bouts will put him behind only Matt Hughes (25) and Tito Ortiz (27). The only thing left to ask is: how the hell did he manage to stick around for so long? This guy has all the flags of a fighter that typically gets cut. He is not exciting, has shown little to no improvement, almost always goes to decisions, can occasionally play spoiler to more exciting fighters, not fan friendly and doesn't speak English etc. But somehow he has managed to stay on for what will be 24 fights and will find himself next to some of the greatest names in UFC history in the record books. So........congratulations Gleison Tibau.......I guess?
