If you could give the BMF title to only one fighter in history who would it be?

[Song2]

Lenny Mclean vs Gypsy Bradshaw

[RoyNelsonsTVDinner]

Yup, it is

[Song2]

Mean dude.

Anderson.
Fucking.
Silva.
That was a baaaaaaad motherfucker in his day

Bisping whooped him too

Yeah not really

[Whambo]

lol fuck no unless the B stands for bully. Looked for quick ways out when the going got tough and then made up excuses afterwards.

One of Wanderlei’s very first fights from my old “Chute Boxe team fights” bootleg was an old vale tudo fight from Brazil with him vs some super aggressive dude that was way bigger than him. While Wanderlei was never the most technical of fighters, he was extra sloppy this early in his career. He was getting his ass kicked pretty good early in what was a brawl from the opening bell. Big dude eventually gassed out from beating the crap out of Wanderlei and they stopped the fight with Wanderlei unloading elbows on this dude in the corner of the ring. Or something like that. Been a long time since I’ve seen it. One of my all time favorites for sure.

There was also one where Wand had a cut on his forehead or some shit and he wouldn’t stop headbutting the guy and making it worse. Might’ve been why the fight got stopped, its been a looooong time

Hendo was the first person that came to mind after I read the title.

His strength of schedule is INSANE

@Song2

And he fought Dan the wolfman and lived

Never heard of him

[CanTheWolfDan]

@TrailerParkKing

Cerrone, maybe. Also, I was a big fan so Cerrone.

Absolutely love Cerrone but he also folded a couple times where some of these other guys would’ve fought to the death

[CanTheWolfDan]

@murphyVSoccam

Minowa love him or hate him

How can you hate Minowa?!

[FloppyDivac]

Yes!! His fight with Arturs Mariano. Fucking nasty

[ManInTheTopHat]

@SunshineRec

The only choice. What the fuck are we even doing here trying to pretend otherwise, boys? The dummy responding after this quoted post has a picture of Tank in all his potbelly glory.

I present the only exhibit needed:

The most brutal tournament in MMA... The Predator Don Frye destroys Tank Abbott

[liyon]

Igor Vovchanchyn.

[Left_Hook_Cemetery]

Cerrone is like the opposite of a BMF. Just a bully that folds under pressure.

[Rakoshi2]

Don Frye
Mark Coleman
Cabbage Correira
Sakuraba
Royce
Sadly, Jon Jones

[onepunchJD]

I don’t see it with Jones.

He is just very skilled and had a size/reach advantage that he used very well against previous era LHWs he beat on his initial run.

Since then he has spent the last 10 or so years only finishing 8/11 fights.

He’s not as dominant vs guys closer to his size, and he choose the most beneficial time to move up into a HW division that is the weakest it’s been in decades.

Also, Jones has never had his chin tested that I have seen.
Had he moved up to HW several years ago when he could have – and while there were still a bunch of killers to challenge him – it would have been tested.

Jones is one of the best fighters we have seen.

But to me he doesn’t fit the definition of a BMF – at least not relative to many others mentioned on this thread.

Ducked the UFC.

He’s the hardest fighter ever

[Morpheus]

And Overeem beat him up in training a few times

@Morpheus

And Overeem beat him up in training a few times

Training means shit. I chocked out my brother when rolling, he’d absolutely starch me in a fight.
