NUMBER 9:

Carlos Newton


Some of you may be wondering, "but why?"; Yes, he won his title via a legitimate way, he didn't fight only bums to get in there... But the reason for his his name being on this list, is very simple: BJJ.

For startes, prior to his title shot against Pat Miletich, he pretty much beat the majority of BJJ nerds he fought, thru his superior skills in the nippo-brazilian art, his only losses came when his opponents didn't like BJJ and trained other things.


And so after choking the dominant champion, the UFC match-makers decided it was a good idea for him to defend his title against the Slam-especialist Matt Hughes. The irony of the story was that even though Carlos had his last name as "Newton", it was needed a high level wrestler to teach him gravity. And that was pretty much it, I could put some worse champion in his place, but I just though it was fun the way he got fucked up once Matt decided that he wasn't getting any of that BJJ bullshit.

NUMBER 8:

Matt Serra


Now we get to a point where undoubtedly the reign as a champion sucked for one reason or another and holy shit, if it wasn't for some smart asses that you will see later on this list, this one would definitly be a contender for the top 3.


As the story goes, this one got even cut from the UFC after getting a drawed record in there and only getting decision wins over bums. Then for some reason the UFC executives decided to make a new season of TUF (the ultimate fighter) where only fighters who left the UFC for any given reason would participate, with the winner being awarded a title shot against the current champion of their division and there is where Matt entered it.


For starters he wasn't even a favorite to win that tournament, but for some reason he did (all thru decisions, but still). And now with a title shot on his way against the one who many consider to be the most dominat welterweight champion of all time, George Saint Pimp, there is no need to say that he was a huge underdog to win that. And for everyone's surprise he knocked the fuck out of the lay 'n pray artist.


But sure that a rematch was scheduled, and there he got back the knockout that he delievered, this time on the second round.

NUMBER 7:

Josh Barnett


This one may be the best fighter on this list, when he became a champion, he wasn't only a 13-1 fighter, but also the youngest heavyweight champion the UFC ever had to this day. With that being said, you may be wondering, "but why?", and the answer is very simple: Roids.

As the story goes, prior to his title shot againts the way older Randy Couture, Josh dismantled the majority of the opponets he faced, then when he had his rematch against the women beater that he had already won against, named Bobby Hoffman, he tested positive for steroids. And here you may think that he would get suspended, cut from the promotion... But no, the UFC executives decided that it was a better idea for him to fight with the champion, right after being oficially declared as a cheater.

Having the size, weight, age advantage and a good grappling background, it was no surprise when he got the TKO (technical knockout) victory in the second round, what was no surprise either was when after beating the old man, it was revealed that he was full roided prior to the fight. And so he was stripped of the title, years later he went on to fight in the UFC again (after being on a tear inside other promotions), he tested positive for steroids again and never fought ever since.


Here is a picture of the old man wrapping the belt around the roided kid:
