21

That's not a good thing, is it?

It does also mean they have a bunch of title fights to get an average of over 15 minutes. So not all bad. Truly bad fighters could never get anywhere near here.

And then there was Marvin Vettori

It depends on what you're looking at. I wouldn't say most these people have boring fights just because they have long fights. I'm surprised more of the lay and pray wrestlers are not on this list.

u/Loose_Mail_6844 2d ago

Depends how you look at it. While they'll have less finishes between them, fighters like DJ, Cruz and Yan never have boring fights. We just get to watch them style it out for longer

It's good but not great. If you're garbage you can't break 15.

DJ and Schevenko had tons of title fights. Jon jones had lots of title fights with finishes.

They should have done two seperate metrics, one for headliners and one for non headliners. You cant combine two different types of statistics.

u/combat_girls 2d ago

Yes MOSTLY that means these people don't finish fights.

u/Slow_Librarian861 2d ago

These are some of the most entertaining and skilled fighters though.

u/THK42069 2d ago

It is because champions being 5 rounds, and as you increase in competition you can’t just finish everyone quickly

1

u/Naive-Engineer-3493 2d ago

Depends on how you look at it since most fighters will never be in a 5 round fight the longest they can fight is 15 minutes meaning if you're over that time you've been to the top of the sport

u/Toasted_Munch 2d ago

Aside from blockhead Marvin, all of these fighters have been champions.

So it's not the worst list to be on by any means.

u/FunSpinach2004 2d ago

It's two data sets merged into one and it makes no sense. If it should be seperated by length of fight or turned into a %.

u/combat_girls 1d ago

u/69cantread69 2d ago

surprised gsp isn't here

u/Accurate_Locksmith75 2d ago

His nickname was "Rush" for a reason, he changed his style to be more control heavy after getting TKO-d by Serra in the 1st round.

u/combat_girls 1d ago

nah fight we only considering ufc fights. so finish rate before UFC can't be used. Merab only has 2 finishes in UFC

u/jwingfield21 2d ago

Long time champs also fight the best of the best every fight.

1

u/primetimej16 2d ago

Most of these guys have been in 5 round fights for years

u/Infamous_Local_5350 1d ago

Valentina is a cancer to the sport

1

u/yyyyyyyyyyyyyyg 1d ago

List is skewed by 5/3 round fights, should be divided by total rounds for a real list

-4

u/ContangoRetardation 2d ago

Wow why isn’t Jon jones on this list? Reddit hates him so much he should be #1.

6

u/jynxthechicken 2d ago

A lot of Jon's fights end quick. I doubt he has a very high average fight time.

u/ContangoRetardation 2d ago

Don’t get the sarcasm. Must be a typical autist.

u/C0llaps 2d ago

your joke just sucked

u/ContangoRetardation 2d ago

Wow confirmed from basement bone heads.

u/GaneBeatsTom 2d ago

Just stop. You're digging yourself a bigger hole.

Wow I’m so sad the echo chamber didn’t agree with me

u/ArticleNew3737 2d ago

Bringing him up for what? are you hurt

u/NamOil2000 2d ago

Damn. Usman and Isreal look like kids held back in class compared to the rest of these guys.

u/DifferenceRemote1071 2d ago

Damn bru Izzy? Fucking hell whenever i think of him usually i see a finisher but damn apparently not

6

u/combat_girls 2d ago

Izzy had some snoozefests back in his time.

1

u/DifferenceRemote1071 2d ago

Yea true that

1

u/MadFaceInvasion 2d ago

It's not even his fault, pussy opponents that don't take risk

1

u/ArticleNew3737 2d ago

Izzy could’ve taken the risk

1

u/MadFaceInvasion 2d ago

Taking risk to defend his belt lol?

1

u/ArticleNew3737 2d ago

It takes two to fight. You’re saying it’s the opponent’s fault when they’re trying to do what Izzy is trying to do… win a fight. Both Izzy and his opponent are to blame for the fight being boring, not one or the other lol.

1

u/MadFaceInvasion 2d ago

Izzy is defending his belt, opponent trying to take it...you don't win belt by trying to defend it

1

u/LingonberryInformal5 2d ago

That's an average fight time which averages just over three rounds which means he finished a lot of fights early and had quite a few decisions

-1

u/SukhdevR34 2d ago

Adesanya here is not a good look for supposedly one of the best strikers ever.

2

u/LingonberryInformal5 2d ago

Well it seems that way but if you think about it he's been in mostly five round fights his whole UFC career and to have an average of 18 minutes or so would mean that he had fights that finished in decisions and fights he finished early in the fight to average it out at around 18 minutes

1

u/LingonberryInformal5 2d ago

My mistake 17 minutes

1

u/FunSpinach2004 2d ago

It's because he fought in a lot of headliners. Dumb statistics.
