greatest ufc champions of all time

July 4, 2009

let's see if we have the same cards..

HW - Randy Couture.. almost all his fights in the ufc are title fights.. he's the first person to tear down belfort who at that time was a heavy favored fighter.. beat a phenomenal striker in pedro rizzo, not once but twice.. he'd done the impossible (considering his age disadvantage) stealing the belt from a strong gigantic champ tim sylviaa and defended it impressively against gonzaga, again age wasn't a factor.. held the HW belt twice, i say its randy..

LHW - Chuck Liddell.. this is my fave KO artist of all time.. grabbed the belt from tito via vicious strikes.. He did annihilate some good fighters on his way to the top of the lhw division.. randleman, belfort, monzon, mezger, bustamante, suloev, and sobral, who are definitely NOT SCRUBS.. he beat tito twice, randy twice, and babalu twice.. He was able to avenge his loss against horn and recently went to war against one of the best of all time, wanderlei silva, and won..One of the most known ufc fighters in the history..he's got to be everyone's choice..

MW - Anderson Silva.. simple unbeatable right now.. p4p # 2 best fighter next to fedor.. very smart, tactical, and classy fighter.. he certainly owns the mw division right now, no questions asked..

WW - Matt Hughes..probably the most dominant ufc champ of all time.. he was the AS of his division for several years..the WWs were continuously improving that time, so was he.. had wins against tough bastards like trigg, newton, sherk, and lytle.. he had beaten some of the big names in the league like penn, gracie and GSP.. everyone felt his dominance in the division, until a much improved GSP came..

LW - can't think of any.. i say, so far, its penn coz he gave a beating to some of the best ufc lw in stevenson, sherk, and pulver.. but not after ufc 101..

ps: I think Royce Gracie should be considered one of the greatest champs of all time, if not, the greatest IMO.. he contributed a lot in the sport.. a member of ufc hall of fame who won the first ever ufc tournament...against gigantic opponents.. did it again in ufc 2 and 4.. yes, he was beaten by sakuraba and hughes but take note of the age disadvantage he had against the 2.. plus the fact that he and his style was already studied by these 2 before the fight took place.. if the fight happens during his prime, i guarantee a different result..

just wanna see who your choice in each division is..thanks..

    I find it hard to argue with Rush or Grimm.

    Randy Couture is a champion even without a belt, as a multi time LHW and HW champion he is a true MMA champ! Chuck's run at LHW even without the belt was great and he is worth in my eyes to be called one of the best. Matt Hughes was the man to beat at 170 and he held that belt as a defending champ, meaning if you made weight and the UFC thought you were worthy..bring it! Rich Franklin and Anderson Silva were the 2 best 185ers, as with all championships there can only be one and that man is Anderson Silva.
