Right now I can only think of Ronda and Sonnen but i guess it happened more than that...

Edit : not immediate rematches, i mean losing to someone (champ or not), then getting a title shot at a different fighter for the belt.
 
DC
Gus
Anderson
Edgar
Cain was scheduled to
Aldo kind of (interim)
 
Randy Couture many times

Nick Diaz
 
Technically Shogun.
 
Frankie Edgar got a 145 title shot after losing two in a row
Ditto for Holly
Sonnen
Ronda
Nick Diaz
 
Condit?

Edit: Nvm...Thought he was coming off odf a loss when he fought Lawler.
 
Matt Serra.
Lytle won that shit hands down.
 
Didn't McGoober got LW titleshot after he lost twice in a row against Nate Diaz
 
Justin Eilers. Lost to Paul Buentello and got a title shot against Arlovski.

Also Kevin Randleman (RIP). Lost to Bas for the HW title, Bas vacates, then Kevin fought Pete Williams for the vacant title and won.

McGregor made his own belt "The McGregor belt" but then lost it in his first defense. He gave himself an immediate mandatory rematch title shot because he's the belts governing body prez.
