Who is the lineal champion of every weight-class in the UFC?
Who is the guy who beat the guy - whether they stayed in the promotion, or even moved up in weight.
For example, the newer weight-classes - flyweight, bantamweight, and featherweight - these have very simple and short paths to the modern lineal champ. And for this reason, I’m not doing the women’s divisions.

Made a hilariously simple mistake in not putting O'Malley in over Sterling. The video was made last week, honestly. I just for some reason totally blanked on Sterling having fought and lost. I watched that fight live, covered it on this channel. Big but simple L on my part. 😅 Also, I'm fully aware of what an actual lineal champ is - the definition I'm using is loose and just for fun. That's why i say 'kinda' makes him the lineal champ the first time. I'm sorry to see such a negative response to the use of the word 'lineal'. You guys are right, using the word in this way is not correct due its existing meaning with combat sports. But I felt it was loosely appropriate to give most viewers an idea of what the video + the concept itself was about. Cause overall, I think the concept is fun + worthwhile. Will keep pressing on. Cheers!

@jbj7599 8 месяцев назад

Least you own the mistake. Also a few years back a different channel used the same lineal concept. It's fun to use and see!!

@MMADIVE 8 месяцев назад

@jbj7599 Yep no excuses. I got it badly wrong on the O'Malley front. Kinda funny.

@MMADIVE 8 месяцев назад

I haven't watched their vid, but it is a fun concept. It was fun to make too. People seem to respond quite negatively over the use of the word 'lineal', which I'm disappointed about but I get. Will do better. Personally, I like how the video turned out, aside from the obvious mistake on flyweight + bantamweight.

@jbj7599 8 месяцев назад

@MMADIVE I think it was It's Not Cagefighting that did the video, I enjoyed it your! especially since, to me, it's an updated version of that one. Mistakes happen, still a good video and screw the haters, this lineal is fun to track

@YouAintGotNoTegridyBoi 7 месяцев назад

Not to nitpick but a pretty crucial part of a lineage at a weight class is that if a lineal champ moves up in weight and doesn't return then the lineage restarts at that division when the #1 and #2 contenders fight each other. That'd make the current flyweight champ the lineal champ. I see what you tried but it makes little sense because of this.

@After6Comes7and8 8 месяцев назад

Only weird one I know is Jon Jones is technically the linear lightweight champ because BJ Penn lost to Machida, who lost to Shogun, who then lost to Jones

@nutmegriot209 7 месяцев назад

thats odd. if you fight in a new division why would the lineal line follow you there? it should stay in its division no matter what

@20_foot_burmese_pyth0n Месяц назад

@nutmegriot209 maybe it stems from back when the UFC only had heavyweights and lightweights? The lineal titles may have been easier to track back then if there were only two divisions. Not sure though.

@TheBrooklynBeastLeo 8 месяцев назад

When a fighter retires undefeated, a new lineal champ is crowned when #1 and #2 fight each other. So for FW, that happened when Max and Volk fought. Also I'm pretty sure the lineage doesn't leave the weight class. Fights at different weigh classes don't count.

@Slappist_streams 8 месяцев назад

@emobuddha 8 месяцев назад

@cuttycreek 8 месяцев назад

Crazy how this guy completely misunderstood what a lineal champion is... If someone leaves a weight class while lineal champion and loses, he lost in a difference weight class from the one he is lineal champion in... Therefore he is STILL lineal champion in that other division, and is so until either he fights and loses at that weight again, or retires and the #1 and #2 of that division fight.

@gh0rochi363 8 месяцев назад

Reading the comments I'm realizing mma fans seem to not understand how lineal championships work. Lineal championships are based off the man who beats the man and this can cause a lineal title to leave it's initial division. This is very common in boxing. This is why some combat sports fans don't like to use the lineal titles to determine who is the best.

@Slappist_streams 8 месяцев назад

In boxing, when Michael Spinx went up to heavyweight, the idea of a new lineage was created when the next top 2 contenders fought each other. Which meant that Michael spinx was considered lineal champion until Virgil Hill was given the title of lineal champion after defeating Henry Maske.

If you want an actual good take on this. O’Malley won the lineage from Aljo, who took it from TJ Dillashaw, who took it from Cody who took it Cruz who is the OG champ. There were some switch ups with the belt but that’s the legit lineage.

@cuttycreek 8 месяцев назад

If someone leaves a weight class and loses in another weight class, it doesn't mean that they lost their lineal title in the previous weight class. Cejudo is still 125 lineal champion until either he fights at 125 again and loses, or retires, allowing #1 and #2 of that division to fight for the lineal champion title. Your understanding of what a lineal champion is, is wrong. This whole video is a mess because of this. Scrap this and remake the video, research to understand what a lineal champion actually is and how the title is passed on.
