UFC: Roll Call of Champions

by

One of the cool things about ultimate fighting is that all weight classes are treated with importance by the fans and promoters. Let’s take a look at the five title holders in UFC.

Randy Couture (15-8) is the UFC heavyweight champion at the age of 43. He won a unanimous decision over Tim Sylvia at UFC 68: The Uprising on March 3. This represented a big comeback for Couture, who was knocked out by Chuck Liddell in his previous fight 13 month earlier.

Quinton “Rampage” Jackson (27-6) is the UFC light heavyweight champion. He upset Liddell with a TKO in less than 2 minutes to win the belt on May 26. Jackson, a former PRIDE competitor, is 2-0 since jumping to the UFC promotion.

Anderson Silva (18-4) is on top of the UFC middleweight division, which tops out at 185 pounds. He won the title from Rich Franklin on Oct. 14, 2006 and retained it on Feb. 3 with a win over Travis Lutter.

Matt “The Terror” Serra (15-5) became the new UFC welterweight champion when he scored a TKO over Georges St.-Pierre on April 7.

Sean Sherk is the UFC lightweight champion (155 pounds). He has a sparkling record of 35-2-1. The UFC didn’t have a champ in this division for four years until reinstating the title in October 2006, when Sherk won a decision over Kenny Florian.
