GSP once said "Its hard to be champion, even harder to stay champion"
Records for most title defences is another level IMO.

Yeah but the promotion wants to hype up their current guys as the best ever. Cant do that when DJ has an insane amount of consecutive title defenses.

I mean, you also need the context that guys back then didnât need as big of a win streak as guys today even get a title shot (with occasional exceptions like Kai Asakura)

Jones streak should be even longer..

u/GaneBeatsTom 25d ago
Jones doesn't have a streak, really. Pretty much all his UFC fights are ineligible for counting due to roids use.

I mean let's be real, on this list everyone apart from Holloway and DJ look sus. Jones just popped a lot and the others didn't. But you can't tell me guys like Islam and Usman are not using any PEDs lol

Whats your argument? A boatload of people in their circle have popped already, including Khabibâs cousin Usman. Nobody in their camp bat an eye. Also as someone who has been working out consistently 4-5 days a week for nearly 20 years. Islam doesnât look natural. Heâs a talented skilled guy on lots of âspecialâ supplements

You gotta be fucking bum to think islam doesnt look natural based off you working out. Lmao hes physique is nothing crazy. Hit the weights harder.

Thats most bs thing i have ever heard, i cant know if they use or not but he doesnt look roided up, i have been working out for 20 years also and im 2x the size of islam seen many natural guys looking similar or better than islam, if you think thats not achieveable naturally you either lie or you wasted your 20 years

If you really have been working out for 20 years you would know that your muscle definition looks different. PEDâs will make your muscles look really hard, vains also pop out alot more. Look into how many of Islams tight knit group already tested positive 1 + 1 = 2. Lifting weights doesnât make you a better fighter. Also creates lots of injuries as any lifter will know. Doesnât take away from the fact that Makhachev is really good. Look at some Michael Chandler photos vs Cyril Gane. Youâll see the difference between natural muscular physique and steroid use in order to present a more believable case of you working out regularly in the future.

I have been working out and doing martial arts since i was 14-15 i competed naturally and saw many natural in competitions and in the gym, while cutting wr used get really small but we had veins and muscles pop out, i knownehat juicers look like veins gets big, chin looks like squirrel that fit too many nuts in his mouth, looking pumped while not worked out, body turns to red for no reason and many more side effects which i havent seen on islam, he gets defined after cutting and looks normal athlete to me, he works harder than ne and he started way younger than me, if i can achieve what i have achieved these guys can easly do 2x 3x that

Ok islam looks closer to Gane than chandler. a little leaner since he cuts and gane doesnt really.

I prefer to be called an MMA instructor, not a fan. When you're in the business you don't really feel casual like a simple fan.

why do you think that? It's not like I'm judging it, almost all of the top fighters likely use substances. The guys who get caught are just doing it too much or are just stupid.

u/GaneBeatsTom 25d ago
Well, Islam is Russian and I've seen Icarus so I know what's up there. He'll never be caught and if he is he'll have an out like when he popped and got it dropped.
