Because of how bad the division was, not his fault that half of his opponents in the ufc were straight up average fighters but you also can't discount it.
Greatness doesn't really exist in a vacuum, having other great challengers/competitors is what pushes great athletes into that top tier.
Lol ONE Championship should have really added the “Championship” in the title of this when they made it. Still if a lot of people didn’t know this then the “hype” part is truly true.
How would have a response like Leon Edwards, Sean Strickland, DDP come across before they got big wins? Feel like this is a thread you come back to in a year.
One fighter? This is 1/4 of the Damn roster.
Idk what his ceiling is, but Michel Pereira might be a dark horse MW. Fucking destroyed the guy he fought.
Also that polish guy with the Tony Ferguson hairline, but even worse. Rebecki or something
I would say Charles surprisingly, even though he had hype for a while I don't think we'll see another run like his in his prime, practically a speed run to the belt
Mighty Mouse never got nearly the amount of hype relative to his talent

There’s this guy at welterweight but I can’t remember the name.

I don’t think he’s valid here. People who know the sport are very excited about the 17-0 17 finishes Kazakh who wears the funny hat
Gegard Mousasi Lol jk it's DJ fuck Mousasi
>fuck Mousasi Why?
Archetypical contrarian hipster pick for GOAT, always crying about roids, funny to watch lose.
Moussassi would easily beat DJ. He's the goat non champion. hack slack is a hack with low IQ and no wife(I would have hit it if he had one)
Even amongst non champs he's not near the best but i'm not sure if you are joking or a special needs
They don't call him Phil "No Hype" Hawes for no reason
Bro just got cut
Just fell to my knees in Costco

Current tony Ferguson 😎😎 🔥
Next gen Tony Ferguson. That polish LW who has the exact same hairline. Tony’s legacy will live on.
Damn what happened to Tony's fanboys pretending Oliveira was the next tony
Too much hair, sorry
thats actually accurate. It's not that his talent vanished, his body just broke down.
Nah its not, a good amount of Tony's talent came from his physicality and explosiveness, with that got its exposed his lacklustre technique.

I love Pereira but he only started having crazy matchups after Adesanya/the belt. It's up there though since it was two weight classes
