Most Brazilians fighters were Pride and UFC champions... and more than one category. think about that.
Gues you didn't pay attention when i've mention the number of American fighters are higher than Brazilian fighters.
So of course you will have more winings....but what matters is how long you hold the belt?
Example: Ronnie Coleman won 8 times Mr.O.
The guy that beat him became the new champiom right? does that guy is better than Ronnie?
The way I see is...untill that guy wins Mr.O 9 times.. he didn't beat Ronnie. agree?
Anybody can beat a champion, and became a champion.what makes you better than the champion is beating the champion's record.

I guess you didn't pay attention Brazilians have been doing MMA/Vale-Tudo for almost 100 years the Americans only 20 , 20 years ago there were NO American champs and no WE dominate YOU
not my fault there aren't enough good Brazilians to compete in the UFC

No it doesn't natter how long the belt is held , it's impressive Anderson held onto it for so long , but the depth of the field also has a lot to do with it and the quality of the competition.

Yes that actually does mean that guy is better than Ronnie. Is Weidman better than Anderson? Yes , why? he beat him definitively not once but TWICE , we're not talking a Jay beating up a washed up Ronnie , Anderson wasn't washed up. Up until Chris beat Anderson , Anderson was the greatest of all time , unbeatable , etc , etc , etc , says a lot when a guy with a record or 9-0 beats the best of all time. If Weidman loses to Vitor it changes nothing , he still managed to do something NO ONE else in that division managed to do , beat Anderson and his mystic not once but TWICE !!! no one can ever take that from him.

Not true , not anyone can beat the champ , that's easier said than done. Many people tried to beat Anderson and failed. Maybe Chris will beat Anderson's record , maybe he wont , doesn't matter we know he wont have to beat Anderson anymore.
