It's an impressive list. Completely cleaned out the old guard. I found that the most impressive... how he totally dominated that entire generation. Of course keeping it going vs the Cormiers, and Stipes, and the like is crazy too. But the way he beat Lyoto and Shogun, and Rashad..... I loved that generation of LHW and Jones just whipped all of them like little kids.Unless the sport changes drastically, that record will never be topped. And even if it somehow is, I have enormous doubts that the caliber of competition would be the same that Jon faced. He is one of a kind.

At the moment that was posted, Xamot was sitting at his desk and suddenly smiled to himself out of nowhere. The air tasted sweeter and the sun shone a bit brighter for a few moments.I feel @Xamot should be here
Ya... they all probably made sense. Still a weird statistic. There's only a few guys with 12 straight title fights... doing a little research, Izzy also had 12 and he had 4 losses mixed in there!
The only other one up there is Spider with 13. Won 11 in a row then lost the 2 to Weidman.
Oh wait, DJ had 13 in a row too. Only the last one was a "loss" to Cejudo. He's had 17 title fights in total!
I've seen a few interviews with Evloev this week, he seems like a white guy
