How Many Pull Ups Can A UFC Champion Do?
How many pull ups can a UFC world champion fighter do? We'll start with Conor Mcgregor because he has been a big calisthenics practitioner for a long time and there are a lot of videos of him doing not only pull ups, but also, muscle ups on bar and rings. What's great is that there's videos of him doing pull ups from many years ago as well as in recent time, so he continues to work on his calisthenics craft, which as a calisthenics practitioner myself this is really cool to see. Conor mcgregor is a former 2 division world champion at the weight classes of featherweight which is 145 lbs and Lightweight which is 155 lbs. He was the first person to ever hold 2 titles in 2 weight classes at the same time. He also also accomplished the feat of being a double champ of the same weight classes in cage warriors which is an MMA organization based in London, England and many other notable fighters competed for cage warriors such as michael bisping dan hardy, Dennis siver, Gegard mousasi, and paddy pimblett to name a few. Conor has headlined all of the 5 highest selling ppvs in the history of the UFC and was the 1# highest paid athlete on the Forbes list in 2021 in which the vast majority of his earnings came from outside ventures including the sale of his Whiskey company among other endorsements. Next is Khabib Nurmegomedov who is a former 155 pound champion and he was the longest-reigning UFC Lightweight Champion ever holding the title from April 2018 to March 2021. With a record of 29-0 he retired undefeated and has a win over conor mcgregor and is one of the best fighters of all time. Now we have Jon Jones who is a former light heavyweight champion which is the 205 lbs weight class and the current heavyweight champion of the world which has a weight limit of 265 lbs He became Heavyweight champion when he beat Ciryl Gane for the vacant heavyweight title after francis ngannou vacated the belt and left the UFC. Jones is one of the most accomplished fighters of all time and also on the short list of greatest fighters of all time. He holds the record for the youngest UFC champion and the most light heavyweight title defenses among other accomplishments. He has an incredible record of 23-1-1 with his lone loss coming in the form of a disqualification when he used illegal 12-6 downward elbows on his opponent and his no contest came from a title fight where he won via ko from a head kick with follow up punches, but because he tested positive for a banned anabolic steroid metabolite the win was overturned to a no contest. Aljamain funkmaster Sterling is the current bantamweight champion which is the 135 lbs weight class. Aljamin also has a number of videos of himself doing pull ups and posted as far back as 2015 which is when these first 2 videos were taken. Sterling holds the record for most wins, most consecutive wins, and the most consecutive title defenses in UFC Bantamweight history. Additionally he has the record for the most control time and strikes landed in UFC's Bantamweight division. He has a current record of 23-3 with 11 of his wins coming by way of stoppage by either KO or submission. Aljamin has a background in wrestling and was a two-time NCAA Division III All-American with a record of 87–27. Interestingly Aljamin and Jon jones went to the same college and wrestled for the same team and Jon helped encourage Aljamain to train MMA with him which accelerated the start of his MMA career. Next is Frankie Edgar. Edgar is a former UFC lightweight champion. Edgar captured the Lightweight title in 2010 and defended it three times before losing it in 2012. Edgar would then move down to Featherweight which is 145 pounds, where he competed for the Featherweight title twice and the interim title once before again moving down to the Bantamweight division in 2020. He is tied for most Fight of the Night bonuses in UFC history with eight. He has the second longest total fight time in UFC history with 7:57:10 spent fighting in the octagon and he is tied for second most unanimous decision wins in UFC history. Eddie Alvarez is a former UFC and Bellator Lightweight champion and he was the first fighter in history to get world titles in both organizations and is considered one of the best lightweights in MMA history. He would end up losing his UFC lightweight title to conor mcgregor by TKO and he now competes in Bare knuckle Fighting Championships where he is 1-0 after beating chad mendes who was a former ufc title challenger. Michael Bisping is a former Middleweight or 185 pound champion of the UFC and winner of The Ultimate Fighter Season 3 where he would end up losing his title to Georges St Pierre via submission. Next is Usman Nurmagomedov who is a cousin of Khabib and younger brother Umar.
