Sengoku belt is a thing of beauty. I’m digging the Field’s K-1 Championship and Dream Silver belts too.

I took the Pride belt on aesthetics, but if I ever got to own a belt (not from fighting, from buying on the black market) it would be UFC because of the meaning behind it.

Sengoku belts are incredible. And Soakonojewdoe picked an awesome topic for a fanpost.

Pride belt looks better. I like the Sengoku belts too. I’ve never actually paid attention to the belts before. I’d probably go with the UFC belt 3rd and Strikeforce 4th. I really like the heavy gold tint of the UFC belt but the design isn’t as creative as the other two (the chain mesh background is kinda standard).

Just because of who is holding them.

This isn’t even a competition. The Sengoku belt is the best by far.

agreed, it got my vote

by ufc4 on Jun 13, 2009 12:44 AM EDT up reply actions

I personally think

the Sengoku belt looks like a plastic play toy you buy at the dollar store. I like the WAMMA belt better…

I like the classic plain look of the UFC and Pride GP belts, but those Bellator belts are awfully sweet as well.

by B Money on Jun 13, 2009 12:55 AM EDT up reply actions

Yeah I feel the same way. The rest of them are either too busy or too plain. It walks a nice balance while being creative.

The K-1 belt would have gotten my vote tho if it were in the mix

The Sengoku belt is my favorite.

It’s funny how much taste varies. To me, the Sengoku belt belongs at the bottom.

If that Mickey D’s belt goes to who can eat the most chicken nuggets it’s all mine.

I wonder whether anyone has ever refused to put the belt on after winning? Seems like it would kill the excitement of winning your fight to put that thing around your waist.

The Pride and Bellator belts are my fav. Strikeforce comes in 3rd. UFC and the big ass logo makes it cheesy looking to me.
