The Controversial Rise & Fall Of UFC Bantamweight Champions

Over the course of 15 years there have been 11 Bantamweight Champions of the UFC. Their individual stories you may have heard before, even on my own channel, the controversies, the highs, the lows, the thrill, and the agony. The Contentious Split decisions, and yes, the highlight reel knockouts. The journey of these athletes runs the gamut of the thrill and the agony.
Their individual stories to clutching the crown told in Isolation is the tale of a singular champion, but all roads to the title told together sows together the tapestry of an entire division. So over the next 4 hours we will explore the intersection of these fighters' legacies, how their stories weaved in and out of one another to create such drama, such intrigue, wins and losses spread across time, the fable of awe inspiring climbs to the pinnacle of a division. And so now we got back to an unlikely beginning, 2006, Lemoore California. And a little organisation vying for validity out of that state.

All fights discussed in this video can be found on UFC Fight pass which I highly recommend for any fight fan: https://www.ufcfightpass.com/
