Which Champion was the least skilled.

[wolfss]

Which champ showed the biggest holes in his or her skill set. Who was someone who seemed like he’d most likely lose the belt on the very first defense of the title? For example I knew that Esparza would get smashed by weili or that tiny Brazilian juggernaut girl.

Fighters like Khabib and Anderson are one in a million. They were too dominant.

I hate to say this cause he is my favorite current fighter, but Jiri. He is very good but he likes to take damage. I hope he can improve his defence and reign longer

WTF is this word salad?
You drunk or something?

Tim Sylvia?...kidding it's Nico Montano

He's fun to watch but lacks proper technique and just the basics imo (very unorthodox). It's gonna be interesting to see how long he can get by with his style of fighting. I can see him getting knocked out cold sooner than not.

 

[Viva]

As far as current champs probably Pereira, although he put the fear of god in Adesanya, so for that he’s an all time great.

 

[The Last King]

Brock Lesnar

Tim Sylvia comes to mind. But realistically, a lot of fighters fit the bill. Robbie Lawler, imo, looked very beatable during his reign. Stipe would get hurt in every single fight so it wasn't at all surprising when DC knocked him out. Oliveira, same thing. I don't think getting dropped or wobbled every time you fight is a testament to how great your recovery is or how much of a warrior you are, like the announcers seem to. To me, it just means that you have big holes in your game that are there to be exploited. Can't recover every single time - eventually you'll go out.

Unpopular opinion. Conor if he stayed at 155 when he won belt against Alvarez.

 

[Doctor Grudge]

I feel like you're asking two different questions.

Who looks the most beatable and who lacks the most skill are two different questions. A fighter can be very technical and still be very beatable.

Peña is up there

 

[tequilaboy]

Miesha Tate not really outstanding at anything

He's at his apex I think...look at his fights in Rizin. He was bad enough to be KOd by.King Mo. Improved and came back and avenged the losee. This IS the improvement.

Jiri fought In Rizin? Damn I'm dumb.

Got slept by Mo in a tournament.

 

[Talibankocken]

Carla Esparzas fight against Jedsjsaodkesdfsdfczyk back in 2015 was the most embarrasing showing of a champion I've ever witnessed.

Coming back from adversity is a mark of a great fighter. Not everyone can do that and most crumble from adversity which Oliviera used to do. Overeem and as skilled as he was he never could come back after getting hurt.

The traditional answer to this question over the years has been Dave Menne

Kind of hard to compare the women and men together in general
