Fighters who seem to always be one win away from a title shot no matter how many times they loose

[MustangSally]

JJ - after losing two in a row, she got a 2 title shots off of 1 fight win streaks
Cody Garbrandt - has lost 3 in a row but likely to get a title shot if he wins this weekend
Jose Aldo
Yoel

 

[Wormwood]

Ms. Ish Ish Ish comes to mind...

Jose Aldo

Cerrone....kind of. He would get KO'd, TKO'd and never leave the top 10 until recently. Got to love those UFC rankings.

[Eticycle]

Conor
DC
Ngannoiw

 

[FWRGeorgie]

Yoel Romero. Dude loses every title fight (or fails to make weight) yet is always in title contention for some reason

 

[Vegeta]

Overeem?

 

[Can’t Handle My Riddum]

Joe Benavidez.

 

[Fioretti]

Conor?

Aldo is a top 5 all-time GOAT and has never lost to scrubs or anything besides his first loss hence why he is always close to title shota.

Good call. I wonder if Jones will try to avenge these two losses.

 

[Ecstasy]

Holly Holm

 

[Nelly]

Randy Couture. From 2001-2008 all of his fights except for one was for a title and he went 7-6 in those title fights.

 

[COBRA03]

It has to be Conor!

 

[thobra]

The UFC always favourd the American Wrestlers or very muscular guys that Are easy to market: DC and Romero, Randy used to be one of them, And Weidman or Overeem is always one or two wins away.

 

[VolkHan]

Couture
Faber
Edgar

 

[ralphus1]

Assuncao, although he's never had a title shot and probably never will.

 

[GordaoPreguico]

Holla at ya boy Faber!

 

[MustangSally]

Gustafsson as well maybe
