Is Volkanovski the only champ to never main event

[TJ Dillashank]

He has never main evented a ufc card despite having a title defense and his upcoming fight with Ortega is still not a main event it's a co main. He hasn't even main evented a fight night.

Have there been any other UFC champs to never main event a card just wondering.

Maybe because barely anyone knew who he was before max?

He and Max’s rematch was supposed to headline a Melbourne card before COVID.

Just bad luck I guess

[Dorkman]

Dave Menne had 2 ufc title fights, One as sitting champion. didn't main event either event.

The fights themselves barely registered

the problem with Volk is that he hasn't had a real barn burner

 

[KID Yamamoto]

Did Yan ever main event?

 

[MarloStanfield]

Embarrassing

Mendes was pretty good they both got dropped and were throwing alot

I think yan vs faber was a main event

Edit: nevermind, for some reason I thought it was a fight night in sacramento, probably was faber vs simon that I'm thinking of

The mendes fight was good. His fight against Elkins was fun, too, and his beat down over kennedy (a guy promising to be the next khabib), was very enjoyable. He's had lots of good fights to be honest.

makes me embarrased that i have sydney as my location. i should change that so i am not affiliated with a fighter who has never main evented.

Joanna never headlined a ppv and she was an active champ for almost 3 years

It was the opener on a stacked UFC 245-card.

 

[jsbx45]

Super low-key champ for sure.

 

[aali14]

His stay-busy-air-punching style ain't main event worthy yet I guess

 

[davidlemonparty]

Volk vs ortega for the belt is embarrassing.

first message after lurking for 10 plus years and i can’t take it anymore.

Back to lurking for you. The fight is an awesome matchup and they are both amazing fighters.
