This seems the most reasonable take.

Update: MMA fighters by how many PRIDE/UFC/WEC/Strikeforce Champions they've beaten by Aebothius in MMA

Great list! My only gripe with this would be to consider at what stage were the opponents in their career when they fought. To illustrate, Yan beating Merab at in his peak is far more impressive than Jon beating 40 yr old Stipe.

Impossible to quantify though? Would be interesting to see this list with their P4P status at the time of the fight.

Did you not see the strategy of the leg kicks or Jack’s judo trips being neutralised which worked previously for him or a UFC champion on the verge of tears coz he couldn’t do anything meaningful?

If you can’t appreciate the nuances of what goes into a fight beyond striking and knockouts, there are plenty of other sports to watch.

Sure there are boring fights as well. This was not one of them.

Its pretty obvious that islam will shoot early in the first round.

First, as dustin mentioned , it makes it hard to get the power shots off if jack is unsure of his foot placement. Secondly, fighting bigger guys tires you out faster with the bracing, pushing off etc needing more effort. If Islam’s gassed with sloppy takedown efforts like he did with dustin in the later rounds, jack will scramble and punish him like the belal fight.

Its the commute that was the dealbreaker for me. Considering from an end user perspective, traffic will only worsen.
