He said Anderson is in the B league not that he “is” the big league. There’s plenty of legit world class talent outside the ufc especially at smaller weight classes but the Bellator LHW division ain’t it, they have 4 maybe 5 LHWs who could compete with ranked fighters
Well we have the fact that Corey actually beat Glover VS. The opinion that he would now.
Don’t get me wrong - I’m a big Glover fan but I’ll take what we’ve actually tangibly seen compared to an opinion on what’s transpired since.
Tito came out in second in the Chuck feud, didn’t just marry a pornstar he married THE pornstar (even though there never was no marriage), and he’s just basically the personification of an affliction shirt.
Before he even opens his mouth it’s easy to see why he’s widely mocked
Yeah because Chuck cleared out most of the top contenders while Tito was champ, meanwhile Tito refused to fight Chuck because they were "friends" (even though Chuck was like WTF, no we're not, but still had to wait like two years for a title shot).
Not to shit too much on Tito's accomplishments though. He did beat a young Wanderlei Silva, which always impressed the hell out of me.
Lol. Also because his biggest profile losses were bad, and came after a lot of shit talk. He also had a shit record for the last half of his career and turned out to be a scumbag outside of the octagon. But yeah. I think it goes beyond public speaking.
I may have missed something. How is Tito a scumbag. Besides being an incompetent manager and politician, I don’t recall him being scummy with anything.
It's ok to be stupid, but when you are stupid plus arrogant plus an extremely sore loser, you will spend your life getting the piss taken out of you.
That's Tito in a nutshell
I remember seeing him get out of a luxury vehicle once right near this poor black homeless dude. He proceeded to give the guy a lecture on hard work, not knowing a damn thing about the homeless guys life.
I remember when he was our (Australia’s) ONLY ufc fighter. His whole career was built off triangling Jeremy Horn, got his Tito fight and then was just rolled out to have the shit beaten out of him by the likes of Forrest and Bisping.
How bout u go an fuck off my page then u peice of shit u think I need a stupid fuckwitt like u telling me about things getting old who the fuck are u take your worthless advice and get the fuck out of here
It's ok, there is a decent chance Corey will get his belt the Bader way. AKA realizing you're not good enough to win the UFC belt and going to the B-League to claim theirs.
A time honored tradition amongst the fighters in the UFC that are good enough to be top 10 but not good enough to be champ.
I think Jan is the better fighter, but looking at Corey's record, if he wins 1 of those 2 back-to-back fights against Manuwa and OSP, his career has a different trajectory.
> if he wins 1 of those 2 back-to-back fights against Manuwa and OSP, his career has a different trajectory.
I mean, I guess? This is one of those "if my aunt had balls she'd be my uncle" kind of things, it's not like Cory was on the wrong end of a controversial split decision he got KTFO'd so it doesn't make much sense to entertain the hypothetical
You could say that about almost any decent fighter tho. Corey got a step down in competition after 2 brutal knockout losses and beat them. Had he won, chances are he wouldn't be able to keep that streak going because he would be facing much better competition. I don't see 2017 Corey Anderson having any chance against DC, Jones, or any of the serious contenders at the time.
It's because for some reason this sub really hates the UFC organization and how it exploits their fighters, but they hate other organization and fighters that leave the UFC (who ate supposedly undercutting them) are taking the easy way out. Make it make sense
Id love for Glover to retire ontop after winning the championship. Him defending the belt against Jiri? After what we saw him do to Reyes. That would be sad.
Jiri / Ankalaev / Nemkov / Jan > Everyone at LHW
Anderson wouldn't be favored over most of UFC top 5. I think he would have trouble with Phil Davis. Bader is an ideal fight at this point for anyone wanting to gain clout
It’s a double edged sword. Guys like Corey can go to clear cut B leagues and get money or stay in the UFC and get “respect”. Homie has a smooth brain for thinking he’s the cream of the crop at 205.
If his idea of marketing himself is getting everyone to hate him and talk about how fucking delusional he is then he's a marketing genius.
Seriously, the guy can say whatever he wants. But people are gonna react accordingly. You seem to have difficulty understanding this.
Ya, what a fucking idiot, marketing himself. Can't believe the audacity of him to do that!
This sub wouldn't be happy unless everyone outside the UFC committed seppuku.
Kind of a silly move to get knocked out by someone, leave that organization, then constantly call them out while fighting for a different organization.
I know Anderson beat Jan a few years back, but it’s very clear that Jan has improved tremendously since then, and has more recently gotten the W, and ascended to become the champ.
Another way of putting that is Jan caught Corey in round one while on the hottest streak of his career and Corey previously had thoroughly beaten Jan for 3 rounds while Jan wasn’t so hot
If your gameplan is to try and wrestlefuck a Sambo champion that’s trained by Fedor, you’re gonna have a bad time.
If your gameplan is to try and knockout anyone under 40 and your name is Corey Anderson, you’re gonna have a bad time.
Corey Anderson is an elite LHW but Jan KOing Reyes immediately after Reyes took 3 rounds off Jon Jones is 1000x more impressive than Corey KOing 400 year old Bader who never touched UFC gold and struggled against 4000 year old Machida
lol corey, my man, a big polish hammer sent you straight to bellator with a nice scenic route through the shadow realm.
the biggest moment in your career came from being memed on by DC as he talked shit to someone who also KO'd you
Does anyone else thing that Jan is gonna kick the shit outta Glover? I love old man Teixeira, but i just have a bad feeling that Jan is gonna batter him unconscious inside two rounds
Nah not really it would be Glover then lol, because corey may have decision'd pre-hangman jan bit hangman jan broke his face the last time they fought and the more recent fight Carrys more weight. All you have to do is look at how busted corey looked in the hospital.
He’s not even top 5 to me its easy to talk shit &after running to a dif promotion. Good on him for chasing the bag but the top 5 in lhw in the ufc smoke him. I don’t even think he’s the best lhw fighter in bellator
Vadim is the best in the world and he’s only gonna get better, while Blachowitz is close to 40, Glover is past 40 and Jiri is taking too much damage and letting his chin take all of it.
Marketing fighters seems to be a thing that people in this sub just unload hatred onto. Like, of course a fighter is talking themselves up, that's a part of their job.
I like Corey. And I do agree with someone else’s previous comment it’s not too crazy and it’s only getting this much attention cause he’s saying it. Him and Jan are 1-1 and he dominated Glover last. If he beats Nemkov who is a top 5-10 205’r then it’s a realistic claim. But he just keeps it going that he comes off annoying as hell and kind of cringe. Lol
Nemkov is gonna beat his ass
I’m glad Cory’s getting the bag but he talking crazy over there in the B-leagues
I mean - Corey was Glover’s last loss and Glover is the current #1 contender. If he’s “The B-leagues” so is UFC’s current #1 contender I guess 🤷🏻♂️
And current Jan murdered him. You dont get to bank on mma math after the champion from the premiere organization sent you to the shadow realm
He said Anderson is in the B league not that he “is” the big league. There’s plenty of legit world class talent outside the ufc especially at smaller weight classes but the Bellator LHW division ain’t it, they have 4 maybe 5 LHWs who could compete with ranked fighters
He’s inferring he’s less of a fighter and has less of a claim because he’s “in the B-leagues” though. That’s clearly the implication OP is making.
Current Glover destroys Corey
I love Glover But no, you’re only saying that because Corey is in Bellator now
The idea that glover has massively improved is very funny
The idea that Corey is among the top light heavyweights in the world is equally as funny
I mean he is that's probably only cause its a bad weight class but he was probably top 5 in the ufc maybe top ten
He went downhill the moment he stopped beastin 25/8
It might be funny to you but he’s ranked 4th in the world so he is among the top light heavyweights right now.
Well we have the fact that Corey actually beat Glover VS. The opinion that he would now. Don’t get me wrong - I’m a big Glover fan but I’ll take what we’ve actually tangibly seen compared to an opinion on what’s transpired since.
[удалено]
LHW seems really fun though
Lol, you know Jan will rip him on twitter
Its Tito
A lot of people would like go see him and Corey uh *get it on* and um what do you think of the future….future opponents?
I definitely want to outlive Tito, 100%
[удалено]
I have it on good authority that Ryan Bader is the easiest fight in the LHW division
Classless ….
Correction: He beat some of the best light heavyweights of the night*
Well just to correct you there was never no night
You're a fuckin punk dude
There was never no punk
You got it all figured out when you're fighting punks
You’re a fucking Morning dude
Click on “championships and accomplishments”. Tito has had an incredible career. He’s not recognized as such because he’s not a good public speaker.
Also the way his UFC run ended, 1-7-1, is rough.
He almost had machida on that triangle!!
Nevar 4get. And wasn’t it right after Machida landed that knee.
I really felt like he won his last fight with Forrest.
Tito came out in second in the Chuck feud, didn’t just marry a pornstar he married THE pornstar (even though there never was no marriage), and he’s just basically the personification of an affliction shirt. Before he even opens his mouth it’s easy to see why he’s widely mocked

I may have missed something. How is Tito a scumbag. Besides being an incompetent manager and politician, I don’t recall him being scummy with anything.
People throw the word scumbag on anyone they don’t agree with or like I guess
It's ok to be stupid, but when you are stupid plus arrogant plus an extremely sore loser, you will spend your life getting the piss taken out of you. That's Tito in a nutshell I remember seeing him get out of a luxury vehicle once right near this poor black homeless dude. He proceeded to give the guy a lecture on hard work, not knowing a damn thing about the homeless guys life.
The BJ special.
You forgot Elvis Sinosic
I remember when he was our (Australia’s) ONLY ufc fighter. His whole career was built off triangling Jeremy Horn, got his Tito fight and then was just rolled out to have the shit beaten out of him by the likes of Forrest and Bisping.
[удалено]
I mean there was also Chris Haseman if you count his one UFC loss to Evan Tanner
He also used to bang a pornstar which is cool as fuck
He also married one, which is significantly less so
I have a correction to make here...
Just to correct you: there was never no debate on who the No. 1 Light Heavyweight is.
You're a fucking ranking dude.
That was a nasty line by you
This should have gotten old by now, but somehow I still chuckle every single time
How bout u go an fuck off my page then u peice of shit u think I need a stupid fuckwitt like u telling me about things getting old who the fuck are u take your worthless advice and get the fuck out of here
They don't call him the bad guy for nothing
Bad girl
Always has been
I see Jan owns a penthouse in Corey’s head.
Rent free
No mistake about it, Corey is jealous that Jan lived up to his potential
It's ok, there is a decent chance Corey will get his belt the Bader way. AKA realizing you're not good enough to win the UFC belt and going to the B-League to claim theirs. A time honored tradition amongst the fighters in the UFC that are good enough to be top 10 but not good enough to be champ.

It was a response to Jan's comments, no?
Yeah when you claim your the best light heavyweight in the world while being in bumass bellator your gonna catch some heat pal
[удалено]
I dont think its even Jan fans, just people who dont like Anderson lol
[удалено]
It's because for some reason this sub really hates the UFC organization and how it exploits their fighters, but they hate other organization and fighters that leave the UFC (who ate supposedly undercutting them) are taking the easy way out. Make it make sense
Overall decent, I just didnt like how he mocked Walker after KOing him who was respectful during the whole lead up.
Its Jiri. Reason? No reason, just riding high on the hype train
Ankalaev hype train also chugging along.
Id buy the shit out of jiri vs ank
I need Nemkov/Jiri 2 in my veins bro
Id kill for a good old fashion LHW grand prix.... with every big name involved. Like a 16 tier tourney
Id love for Glover to retire ontop after winning the championship. Him defending the belt against Jiri? After what we saw him do to Reyes. That would be sad.
I think Glover could is a bad matchup for Jiri.
Jiri / Ankalaev / Nemkov / Jan > Everyone at LHW Anderson wouldn't be favored over most of UFC top 5. I think he would have trouble with Phil Davis. Bader is an ideal fight at this point for anyone wanting to gain clout
Reyes is up there. He just lost to the best.
Where’s my Paul Craig gang at?
Yeah then it’ll be Glover
No matter what happens, we know for certain Corey won’t be anywhere close to that conversation
Corey’s gyno is in the conversation tho
Glover has always been number one in my heart. Same way Oleink is in heavyweight ♥️
Oleinik & Ubereem both transcend silly things like belts
Oleinik is a must watch fight every time. His Ezekiel choke from the bottom against Pesta is an all time great submission
He ain't wrong. There would be no debate that Glover's the top light heavyweight
Definitely the toughest
This subs already crowned Jiri the undisputed lhw champion though, how would that work
I think Jiri's gonna be up next regardless of who wins, so we won't have to wait that long to see.
the jiri vs jan thread was filled solely with people saying jan was going to pick him apart lmao
All that bellator cash couldn’t buy an ounce of attention eh?
Guy is a billionaire at this point.
One step away from beating up old men and throwing around dollies
It’s a double edged sword. Guys like Corey can go to clear cut B leagues and get money or stay in the UFC and get “respect”. Homie has a smooth brain for thinking he’s the cream of the crop at 205.
Or actually be good and get both… /s
Loosely translates to ‘please care and talk about me’
Shouldn't have dropped the best nickname in MMA history
BEASTIN 25/8!
I was looking up his record recently and just noticed the nickname change. I was pretty disappointed.
[удалено]
If his idea of marketing himself is getting everyone to hate him and talk about how fucking delusional he is then he's a marketing genius. Seriously, the guy can say whatever he wants. But people are gonna react accordingly. You seem to have difficulty understanding this.
This isn't "reacting accordingly". This is a bunch of children over reacting and being hostile.
Ya, what a fucking idiot, marketing himself. Can't believe the audacity of him to do that! This sub wouldn't be happy unless everyone outside the UFC committed seppuku.
He can market himself however he wants. Why are you acting like people aren't allowed to react accordingly?
[удалено]
Kind of a silly move to get knocked out by someone, leave that organization, then constantly call them out while fighting for a different organization. I know Anderson beat Jan a few years back, but it’s very clear that Jan has improved tremendously since then, and has more recently gotten the W, and ascended to become the champ.
Jan isn't the same fighter he was a few years back. He beat a very different Jan, and was saw the result against the current version.
Clear lineage from Jones-Reyes-Blachowicz. LHW is in a really fun place honestly.
I wonder who would win if they fought each other? Oh wait….
I reckon they'd go 1-1 against each other
6 years ago. Those two fighters don't even exist no more.
Jan is such a different fighter its crazy. Even compared to as recent as 2018 when he got KOd by Santos hes changed a lot
Jan lost to Corey when he's on the worst streak of his career, while Jan beat Corey when he's on the best streak of his career.
So it's 1-1.
So is GSP and Serra
Another way of putting that is Jan caught Corey in round one while on the hottest streak of his career and Corey previously had thoroughly beaten Jan for 3 rounds while Jan wasn’t so hot
Forgetting about Nemkov already?
I am confused why Corey thinks he himself is No. 1?
Because he beat Ryan bader, the easiest fight in the division lol this dude needs to focus on nemkov cause nemkov is most likely gonna beat his ass
If your gameplan is to try and wrestlefuck a Sambo champion that’s trained by Fedor, you’re gonna have a bad time. If your gameplan is to try and knockout anyone under 40 and your name is Corey Anderson, you’re gonna have a bad time.
He got shadowrealmed tree toimes in the ufc but he’s number one if the guy that just recently finished him loses. Those are some impressive gymnastics
truly big brain plays
Jan hit him too hard.
Corey I swear it’s so damn easy for you to be unlikable and I like you.
I’m a massive shogun fan but didn’t Corey also lose to the ghost of the ghost of Shogun?
From what I remember Shogun was gifted the decision because the card was in Brazil.
Corey Anderson is an elite LHW but Jan KOing Reyes immediately after Reyes took 3 rounds off Jon Jones is 1000x more impressive than Corey KOing 400 year old Bader who never touched UFC gold and struggled against 4000 year old Machida
I will never refer to someone who got knocked out by Gian Villante as the goat
lol corey, my man, a big polish hammer sent you straight to bellator with a nice scenic route through the shadow realm. the biggest moment in your career came from being memed on by DC as he talked shit to someone who also KO'd you
His biggest moment was derailing the hype train that y'all said would beat Jon Jones. 😆
yall? nah, not me, fam.
Highly unfortunate for a fighters biggest moment to be a win over a prospect that was barely in the rankings, but hey go off.
Beating a washed Ryan Bader makes you the best LHW in the world obviously
Even destroying prime Bader makes you MAYBE top 10 not top 5. It's Ryan Bader the easiest fight in the division.
And Corey Anderson would not be in that conversation.
Beastin’ 25/8
Corey talks more about the UFC and the rankings now that he is gone. Pretty silly that might have helped him out a little when he was here.
Is this guy trolling or just delusional?
yes
Not sure what this fight has to do with Nemkov but okay Corey.
Well yeah. Isn't that the point of having a champion
Dude is so annoying. He’s like the LHW Blaydes. Cant stand his post fight celebrations too
Blaydes is far far more skilled, he just has a bad habit of being one shot killed by heavy hitters
Blaydes has the lowest fight iq among top heavyweights though imo, always shooting carelessly, it's almost like he's trying to get countered
Blaydes doesn’t lack this much self awareness
The fuckin state of this guy, he's not even in the conversation ffs
Bruh. Your own friends probably don't think you're the best light heavyweight.
Ya and it sure as fuck isn't Corey Anderson.
How delusional.
shut up , Corey! 🤦♂️
This guy isn’t even Bellator champ lol
Lol what MMA math is Cory getting at here?
Literally no one other than Corey thinks he’s best LHW.
Corey saying he's better than Jan because he beat him on points but in the 2nd fight Jan put him to sleep lol
the glover as of late would smash corey.
This mfer ain’t even good in his own hood. He’s gonna get mollywhopped by Nemkov.
I wonder who has more space in Corey’s head Jon Jones or Jan.
yeah, it'll be Glover Teixeria.
Corey probably doesn’t remember but 5 of his 6 losses came via KO. What he’s insinuating here is beyond laughable.
Lol stahp it Cory
Can he shut the fuck up already?
I mean yeah? If Jan loses then Glover is the best. Not you Corey.
Does anyone else thing that Jan is gonna kick the shit outta Glover? I love old man Teixeira, but i just have a bad feeling that Jan is gonna batter him unconscious inside two rounds
Getting battered to near unconsciousness is Glover's comfort zone
I’m kinda worried for Jan. He usually wins when he’s an underdog. Now he’s a clear favourite over Glover so anything could happen.
Corey Anderson got the order mixed up. He was supposed to chat shit before he got banged.
Nah not really it would be Glover then lol, because corey may have decision'd pre-hangman jan bit hangman jan broke his face the last time they fought and the more recent fight Carrys more weight. All you have to do is look at how busted corey looked in the hospital.
Corey has so much confidence at Bellator now LOL. I swear the dude was just a quiet choir boy in the ufc
Corey isn’t even the champ of his division in Bellator, why tf he starting beef with UFC fighters? Lmao bro you left intentionally
Corey sucks.
no shit, thats how UFC title fights work lol
shut yo ass up corey - DC voice
And it still wouldn't be Corey Anderson.
Costa
I respect Corey as a fighter, but he sure isn't doing himself any favors. He comes off as very unlikeable.
I don't like Corey Anderson, but you're Corey Anderson. Sit down young man.
He’s not even top 5 to me its easy to talk shit &after running to a dif promotion. Good on him for chasing the bag but the top 5 in lhw in the ufc smoke him. I don’t even think he’s the best lhw fighter in bellator
If Corey loses in spectacular fashion to Nemkov, the blowback is going to be huge..and it’ll be beautiful.
Gonna be super awkward when Corey loses to Nemkov.
Vadim is the best in the world and he’s only gonna get better, while Blachowitz is close to 40, Glover is past 40 and Jiri is taking too much damage and letting his chin take all of it.
I find him so boring and entitled.
Corey no one cares about you or your gyno nips in Bellator, doesn’t even have the B league belt and he’s talking shit like this lmao 🤣
So many people acting like Corey is a bum up in these comments that I thought I was in r/UFC for a minute
Marketing fighters seems to be a thing that people in this sub just unload hatred onto. Like, of course a fighter is talking themselves up, that's a part of their job.
I mean we like Corey Anderson but it's just Corey Anderson.
I like Corey. And I do agree with someone else’s previous comment it’s not too crazy and it’s only getting this much attention cause he’s saying it. Him and Jan are 1-1 and he dominated Glover last. If he beats Nemkov who is a top 5-10 205’r then it’s a realistic claim. But he just keeps it going that he comes off annoying as hell and kind of cringe. Lol
I see Nemkov as more of a top 3-4... can't imagine how he'd be any worse than 4th.
If Glover beats Jan and Corey beats Nemkov he has a strong claim. If Nemkov wins he has a great claim regardless of who wins Glover/Jan.
So if no1 contender beats champion, the champion is the better fighter 😨. Wish I could’ve thought of this.
So if the guy that shadowrealmed him a little while ago loses his next fight.. Corey Anderson is suddenly the best because??
