It must kill Jones that he’ll never be the lineal MMA champ.

Does he eliminate the people caught using steroids? It’s not really fair to do that because in the 90s most orgs weren’t testing for roids.

He’s barely even a real HW champ and has no real HW legacy.
His name doesn’t belong among these titans of MMA.

Halfway through first episode and it’s awesome so far.
My only gripe is, the lineal HW title starts with Ken Shamrock.
He called the Super fight belt the “beta version”, which is funny.
But Ken running through Severn, positionally dominating Oleg, and out-classing Kimo, is more than worthy of mention.
The “lineal” title truly starts with Royce Gracie – who was not a HW, but who beat HWs like Ken, Severn, and Kimo.
When Shamrock and Royce fought to a “draw” (defacto Shamrock win), and Royce left the UFC – Ken retained the Super fight title which would become the first UFC HW title.
The next Super Fight Ken ran through Severn and made it look easy.
Severn “winning” The Dance In Detroit meant he retained that Super Fight title (despite the legit controversy).
The video mentions Ken’s “loss” to Severn and even the rule changes.
But even when doing the obligatory Dan Severn career summary, fails to mention Ken’s dominant submission victory over Severn.
The Lineal “HW” MMA title starts with Royce/Ken/Severn/Coleman.
But Severn needs to be qualified because he was obviously not as good as Ken, who went to the WWF.
This story cannot be accurately told without these details.
Saying UFC 12 was the first “official” HW title is semantics that misses a huge part of the story.
Dude went so far as to talk about Tank/Ferozzo – yet couldn’t be bothered to address Ken’s more than significant impact on that era?
Weird.

If we’re including Boxing the current lineal Heavyweight Champ is Usyk. Nganou who was UFC CHAMP at the time lost to Fury,Fury then lost to Usyk.

Nothing “brief” about this history. I’m confused why people like this guy’s videos. I couldn’t get past the first 5 minutes of complete nonsense.
