Cavalcante was at light heavyweight, jacare was a draw becuase yoel beat his head into the canvas for 3 minutes straight getting a 10-8, izzy robbery, costa robbery, rob was at minimum a draw due to a 10-8 in the 5th, and at best a 48-45 with two 10-8s.The only bad decision was you posting this.
Yoel lost to Cavalcante, Costa, Jacare, Izzy, and Rob (and definitely didn't beat him the second time around).
Get out of here.
Sorry, that never happened. Even if you're silly enough to think Yoel was robbed, he was ineligible to win the championship because he wasn't a middleweight.
Yeah, the Rob fight was a draw. But to say that the Izzy and Costa fight were "robberies" but call the Jacare fight a draw is ridiculous.Cavalcante was at light heavyweight, jacare was a draw becuase yoel beat his head into the canvas for 3 minutes straight getting a 10-8, izzy robbery, costa robbery, rob was at minimum a draw due to a 10-8 in the 5th, and at best a 48-45 with two 10-8s.
First rob fight absolutely
He was eligible to win the title against adesanya and he only missed out against rob becuase the commissioner didn’t want to wait around
I said it was at minimum a draw, but I have it a yoel 3-2.Yeah, the Rob fight was a draw. But to say that the Izzy and Costa fight were "robberies" but call the Jacare fight a draw is ridiculous.
Also, it was supposedly stopped for fighter safety, not time. He was given extra time in the first place and couldn't cut that last pound in an hour, so more cutting at that point is pretty dangerous.
He lost to Rob twiceI said it was at minimum a draw, but I have it a yoel 3-2.
Izzy and costa, even if just bad decisions, still count
Jacare absolutely should have been a draw, he wailed on jacare for 3 minutes straight after dropping him
Either way, it doesn’t matter that he wasn’t eligible. He still beat rob, title or not, and that’s what matters
NoHe lost to Rob twice
He didn’t do enough to beat rob either time.I think if you review his fights and apply pride judging criteria he looks way better than his record suggests
ie he probably beat Rob twice and jacare and adesanya maybe
Brunson
Tavares
Kennedy
Machida
Weidman
Rockhold
Whittaker
Costa
Adesanya
Loss to whittaker
Meanwhile silva out here losing to random Japanese guys by flying inverted heel scissor triangle omiplata and getting his legs snapped the first time someone learned how to check a kick at middleweight lol
(And yes, robbery/bad decisions do count. If you win, you win, no matter how close)

Pride judging criteria I reckon soHe didn’t do enough to beat rob either time.
He rocked him twice in the deciding round (round 4) of their second fight and easily earned a 10-8 in the 5th by dropping rob and completely dominating the action. He arguably 10-8d him in the 3rd round aswellHe didn’t do enough to beat rob either time.
The UFC middleweight championship of the world
I come from the context timeline, where we accept judges get things wrong and adjust wins and losses accordinglyI see you come from a variant timeline.
I used to only count title defenses, until I started thinking “as long as you’re a champion at least once, why does it matter if you beat them with a title on the line or not?”I don't know man, even if you count all the close fights or "robberies" as legit wins, how many title defenses does it add up to?
Gonna be hard to beat Silva's 10 title defenses. And he fought great opponents too
you might have some of the worst takes on this site and thats saying something. Yoel is cool tho but not in that convo at all.Brunson
