The FF-Files: Matchmaker, Matchmaker

Martin Luther King Jr. once wrote, “The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.” Surprisingly, there are parallels to the fighting game in what he said. A fighter could win dozens of times against opponents they should beat comfortably, and it will pass by. Travis Fulton amassed 255 wins after turning pro in 1996. Fulton is by far the winningest fighter in MMA history; no one else has even half as many victories as Fulton, with Dan Severn likely the only other to eclipse the 100-win threshold, so why is he not considered to be far and away the greatest fighter to have ever lived – even without taking into account the horrible allegations and charges he recently received?
