I personally prefer these lists to Top 10s. They feel more complete as there are always entries that have to be cut otherwise. Glad you guys are moving toward these more often

[@AnimeMemesz]

Takes a lot more work for them I assume, though I appreciate the effort.

technically izzy could be on here twice because he was undefeated when he challenged for the lhw belt

[@raul350raptor]

That’s true, which should’ve probably put him as number one on this list

[@TA-hf6si]

20-0, interim belt, unification and two defenses coming into his first LHW championship bout.

[@aussieflintkapping]

Yeah this shit made 0 sense. Gane above Topuria?

[@KimarKurosaski]

@@aussieflintkappingGane was looked at as the future and this new gen of heavyweight. I think the list is based off perception/resume of them more than their actual ability and performance in their title fights.

[@mathiassalgado4683]

I don't understand the logic of this list. Also how does the outcome against the champ not matter? is just based on resume?

[@jayluis189]

​@@KimarKurosaskiYou're just bias because Gane is black, and you're black.

[@wardevil91]

Its just how legit and deserved are they at the time based off resume ​@mathiassalgado4683

[@treyaberson]

Henry Cejudo was undefeated when he fought DJ

[@markofcain2324]

So was Cyril Gane when he faced Francis.

[@Zachisfighting]

Israel challenging for the LHW belt against Jan Blachowicz was the most credentialed undefeated challenger in UFC history and also did they forget Henry Cejudo?

[@jejbsh2191]

He's just lame enough to be forgotten

[@CYMotorsport]

He wasn’t a contender. It was champ champ going up in weight. Henrys case it was retired champ going up given he never defended that belt

[@malachibaxter5715]

​@@CYMotorsport the first time he fought DJ he was undefeated

[@sourdeeeznuts]

This had to have been an oversight; Henry was a wrestling prodigy, Olympic gold medalist going against 8-time champ DJ, and seen by some as the one to dethrone him

[@Zachisfighting]

@@CYMotorsport this video isn't about contenders. The title is "title challengers" Izzy was challenging Jan for his title

[@jesush.tap-dancingchrist7328]

7:11 when you remember how fast GSP was

[@DK45Redd]

Fully believe nobody was beating Cody that night against Dom, dude entered the matrix, effortlessly dismantling a dominant champion. He achieved ultra instinct, if only for a night

[@theywouldnthavetocensormei9231]

That was the only way to beat Dom in his prime, he was so damn good you had to fight the perfect fight.

[@skindred1888]

I mean...Cruz was on his radar since his high school days. It's a decade of training to fight a style that seemed to destroy all his team mates

I'm old enough to remember the rise of Evans and machida, lyoto was really special, not to mention he taken about 8 fighters undefeated streak including Evans, thiago silva, Franklin and bonnar !!

[@ThrashedHydra]

I remember placing a bet for Holly. I had her KO head kick since she loved that combo she does. Everyone and I mean everyone was telling me to withdraw my bet saying I’m throwing money away. I watched her career in boxing I knew she would win. Everyone was saying how good Ronda striking was I’m like “you guys for real?!” If I remember correctly I won 5k easy plus a bonus for a knockout prediction 😊 now everyone is saying Ronda wasn’t great these bandwags lol

[@cracklecracklebaybay5612]

I would not wanna see Askren dry hump Jorge for 3-5 rds… just doesn’t seem too appealing to me but I guess that’s jus me 🤷🏽‍♂️ I look at Askren like I do Rani Yahyah… they both had ONE gameplan and ONLY that gameplan.

[@aquabuddha]

This is such an odd list. The majority of the justification for the whole list is "How many UFC fights did they have?"

[@SevastianGrimm]

Having to randomly hear Michael Schiavellos voice is torture

[@Jinocidal]

This is a great list and interesting to know how many there were and who each of them are! Not to say your ranking is wrong or anything its all personal opinion. For me, Ortega would be a lot further down the list because he was losing every fight until he found the finish. That to me meant that he wasn’t good enough to compete against Max (and others at the top of the division) skill wise. He is gd at finding opportunities and making good use of them but that can only go so far. I think that was further proven when he fought Volk too with the 2 huge chances he found but was otherwise mauled.

[@jesusschizus272]

That Dominick Reyes head kick was one of those "cocky rat got karma"! Sooo satisfying! So sad that after JJ fight his career went such downward spiral

Sherk actually had THREE wins in the UFC prior to facing Matt Hughes for the welterweight strap. Tiki Ghosen, Jutaro Nakao and Benji Radach. Sherk actually had more wins in the UFC than Hughes had when he challenged Carlos Newton for the belt at UFC 34. In fact, Hughes was coming off a UFC LOSS to Dennis Hallman (UFC 29) when he faced Newton!

[@TheRealOTK]

Mannnnn, I still think that "prime Cane" could still compete with the top of the current Heavyweights. I genuinely think he was that good in his prime.
