yabadaba - And that is how the lineal HW title left the UFC.
And that is also apparently how Enson got invited to the 1999 ADCC Superfight against Mario Sperry.
ttt
Guy Mezger had some choice words for Enson after that Alger fight at UFC 13.
One of my top 3 favorite arm locks ever!
Enson vs. Couture 2 would be epic.

And never returned to this day. Passed through the hands of the all time #1 HWs with a few exceptions.
An amazing chunk of history. Pivotal moment in the sport.
For the next TWELVE years, the UFC HW champion would not be considered the #1 HW on the planet by ANY credible ranking group.
It was only after SOMEBODY ELSE beat the lineal champion in Fedor that the UFC champ began being ranked #1 again.
old school mma is the best
Enson would still beat Randy today
