Every Middleweight Champion in UFC History | May 2021

Спорт

11 men hailing from six different countries have held the undisputed UFC middleweight belt since its introduction at UFC 33 in 2001. One man, Anderson Silva, held the title for over six years from 2007-2013 and was the first champion to defend a belt 10 times. Look back at all the middleweight champions from Dave Menne to Israel Adesanya.

Does it make you sad to see not only the rise of each champion, but also their fall? If so, I can sympathize 😢 all good things must come an end right? The only way to have a good ending is to retire as champion, in which only GSP and Israel Adesanya can be candidates for that category 💪

Vitor Belfort was on copious amounts of TRT and many other PED's turning him into an MMA fighter straight out of a laboratory. Yoel Romero is a genetic freak of nature who will give any man on earth a tough fight (just ask Robert Whittaker). Jan Blachowicz was a 'bad' loss at the time, but we had no idea just how good Blachowicz actually was, ultimately being the first man to defeat Izzy as well as the man who many argue beat Jon Jones (Reyes).

    @@twiggsherman3641 Khabib still is the GOAT at Lightweight though, beating out the likes of anyone else for that honour. Watching his fights especially his most recent ones you can't help but acknowledge that there is *nobody* in the division who can beat him, as he's so dominant in the cage its ridiculous and everyone knows what he's going to do... but they can't stop him. When you take into account how stacked and competitive 155 is and how hard it is successfully defend the belt more than once and how hard it is not have a loss on your record in the UFC, its quite astonishing what he's accomplished. Khabib would have gotten that juicy 30-0 record and record breaking fourth consecutive title defence at LW if his father hadn't passed away. Regardless, his legacy is still set in stone which probably won't ever surpassed at 155.

He fights 5 round fights so, a takedown and control is much difficult to do so over a 5 round period when compared to 3 rounds. It means less to lose a round in a 5 round fight due to wrestling. Izzy’s fight style also makes it hard to shoot for a takedown given his height in combination of his back peddling counter shots. He lost to Jan because Jan doesn’t fear izzy’s power shots as Jan is similar in height but much wider and stronger which will not be a possibility in izzy’s weight class.

    It's still crazy to me that Stylebender debuted just 3 years ago in 2018. The way he ran through the Middleweight division was epic. And he's about to lap the division again. 💯
