Finn O’Rourke

Ladies and gentlemen, let's talk about the GOAT of the KMA. Who better to start with than Zubair Noor? This guy held the P4P #1 spot for over a year and 46 weeks. That's like being the best at something for a really, really long time. But you know what's even more impressive? He went on a 10-fight win streak right from the start. That's like winning a game of Monopoly and then deciding to play 10 more just for fun.

And let's not forget his rivalry with Malin. They fought seven times, and Noor won four. That's like being in a long-term relationship where you win more arguments than your partner. But you know what they say, it's not about winning all the time, it's about how you handle the losses. And Noor handled his losses with grace, just like a true champion.

Finn O’Rourke

But here's the real kicker: Noor defended his lightweight title four times. Four times! That's like defending your driveway from the neighborhood kids on Halloween. And he did it all while being the best fighter in the strongest division. So, if you ever doubt Noor's greatness, just remember, he's the GOAT for a reason. And if you disagree, well, you can always try to beat him. Good luck with that, buddy.

Next up, we have Malin. This guy is a main event machine. He's had the most main events, the most performance bonuses, and the most finishes. That's like being the MVP of every game you play. But you know what's even more impressive? He beat Cloud, Ayalo, Aksoy twice, and a bunch of other top fighters. He's like the guy who always shows up to the party with the best snacks and the coolest stories.

Finn O’Rourke

But Malin had one Achilles' heel: Zubair Noor. Noor beat him three times before Malin finally turned the tide. It's like being in a video game where you keep dying to the same boss, but eventually, you figure out how to beat them. And when you do, it feels like the greatest victory ever. But you know what they say, the best victories are the ones that take the most effort. And Malin put in the effort, and he got the win.

Finn O’Rourke

But here's the real kicker: Malin won Fighter of the Year in Year 6. That's like being the prom king and the valedictorian at the same time. And he did it all while being one of the most active fighters in the KMA. So, if you ever doubt Malin's greatness, just remember, he's the GOAT for a reason. And if you disagree, well, you can always try to beat him. Good luck with that, buddy.

Now, let's talk about Bima Balingo. This guy is a heavyweight legend. He's 39-4, and he beat almost everyone in the division. He's like the guy who shows up to a bar fight and wins by default. But you know what's even more impressive? He avenged all his losses by beating them twice. That's like having a bad day at work and then going back the next day to show them who's boss. Twice.

Finn O’Rourke

But Balingo had one guy he couldn't beat: Mike Malo. Malo retired before Balingo could get his revenge. It's like being in a video game where the final boss decides to quit before you can beat them. But you know what they say, sometimes the best victories are the ones you never get to have. And Balingo's legacy is still intact, even without that final win.

Finn O’Rourke

But here's the real kicker: Balingo retired at age 38, at the top of his game. He vacated the belt because there was no one left to beat. That's like being so good at your job that you run out of challenges. So, if you ever doubt Balingo's greatness, just remember, he's the GOAT for a reason. And if you disagree, well, you can always try to beat him. Good luck with that, buddy.

Let's talk about Piraz Dushku, the guy who had the 'Dushku Effect.' He was the first one to beat Tom Dreschler, and he did it in 39 seconds. That's like winning a race before the starting gun even goes off. But you know what's even more impressive? He beat a bunch of undefeated fighters in the first round. It's like being the guy who always gets the best parking spot, even when the lot is full.

Finn O’Rourke

But Dushku had a flaw: he lost to Ayala twice. It's like being the best at everything but one thing. But you know what they say, even the best have their kryptonite. And Dushku's kryptonite was Ayala. But that doesn't make him any less great. He still had a 14-3 record in the KMA, and he beat a lot of top fighters. So, if you ever doubt Dushku's greatness, just remember, he's the GOAT for a reason. And if you disagree, well, you can always try to beat him. Good luck with that, buddy.

I'm like the guy who always shows up to the party and leaves last. But you know what's even more impressive? I've had a 9-fight win streak.
