Greatest fighter to never win in the UFC?

[rearnakedchoke]

Rickson

 

[gono btw]

He won the second fight. It was a weird situation at UFC: The Ultimate Japan.

Sakuraba lied about his weight to get in the heavyweight tournament. He faced a guy significantly bigger than him and suffered some strikes. One of these looked so bad Big John stopped the fight even though Sakuraba didn’t get KOed or need a TKO.

However, because Tank Abbott didn’t want to fight again after winning the only other fight in the tournament, they just had Sakuraba fight the same guy again. This made Sakuraba the first and for a very long time (still?) the only Japanese fighter to have wo a tournament in the UFC.

Question came up on Luke Thomas’ live chat last week and I think it makes for an interesting discussion.

Who is the greatest fighter to never win in the UFC? This can only include fighters who fought in the UFC so no Fedor, and to start the conversation I’ll throw in Jay Hieron and Kid Yamamoto

Has to be Kid.

Fabio Gurgel competed only once and lost...

That's a fuckin nice ass takedown. Rin nakai both of her UFC loss were close as fk lol. Could've easily went to her.

 

[IDGETKTFO]

Fedor
Ricardo Arona
Been Askren
Douglas Lima

Do you english much, 2017 join date?

 

[Pancake Sprawl]

GIlbert Yvel isn't the greatest, but he was a pretty good fighter and he went 0-3 in UFC

 

[JkMMA]

Obvious answr is kid Yamamoto. Rin nakai is a good answer to because those 2 loss was razor thin.

 

[Ace88]

The Rice A Roni guy

Now that they have women's flyweight I think she should could come back and fuck some bitches up! Just looked up her fighter profile, she's been 4-0 since her last UFC fight. All Finishes!

Did you read the post or just the thread title?

Did you know shitbird? Muhammad Ali and Bruce Lee never fought in the UFC.

Cool beans shit for brains. I'm glad you are such a UFC nerd that you actually give a fuck about obscure journeymen who fought and racked up L's but get an honorable mention in this thread by shitstains like yourself. The greatest fighters who never won in the UFC are Fedor and Ali.

 

[blingking]

Multiple time world champ James Tony is the correct answer.
