The Best Fighter in MMA History Whom Was Never Champion

[Glove]

There have been many fighters in the 26 year history of Mixed Martial Arts that have had successful careers but yet never have been crowned champion. Which fighter, from any organization in the world, would you regard as being the best fighter to never achieve the championship belt. You can list one, or as many as you wish.

No gold at all? like none in any big org? No Pride, WEC, SF, EliteXC, obv UFC and Bellator? no belt at all?

Nate Diaz

 

[Klaavical]

The fact you correctly used "whom" in the title makes your thread a win

 

[Fesaine]

Romero and wonderboy

 

[TitoGod]

Caol Uno.

 

[NandoMoura]

Benavidez

Hendo probably if we're just counting just UFC belts. A lot of also rans.

If we're counting everything, I'd say Joe B and Gus are the main supergatekeepers in MMA history who never won belts in other promotions.

Tony won a UFC belt guys.

 

[mb23100]

Donald Cerrone

 

[Gilday]

Probably not the best compared to some other guys, but I'd give a shoutout for Demian Maia

 

[Exarch01]

Cowboy Cerrone

He was interim champ son

 

[PeterTheGreat]

Romero and wonderboy

Oooooof Romero might be it... I put him over Gus and Joe b to counter what @ferrisjso said, I think Romero can beat Gus and if Joe B was in this discussion he would try for the 135 belt

 

[Final Say]

He was interim champ son

Cody McKenzie

 

[PeterTheGreat]

Cowboy Cerrone

how is Cerrone over Nate when Nate whooped him

 

[Bend NvR Break]

Jon Fitch was a monster in the UFC. Romero should be the correct answer.

 

[Sweater of AV]

UFC Japan aside, Saku was too busy becoming the GOAT to worry about championship belts.

Lil Nog also deserves a mention.

 

[TGArthur]

I liked Melvin Guillard for a while and though he was pretty talented, but never landed a title shot in the UFC and declined pretty fast.

 

[FreddieRoachsVoice]

Yoel Romero, Jon Fitch, Joseph Benavidez, Cowboy Cerrone, Demian Maia

Will throw Jim Miller as an HM for having an incredibly long, successful UFC career and never even getting a title shot
