Was anyone gifted more title shots than Randy Couture?

[Kvolcom]

Randy Couture got a title shot against Chuck after losing 2 straight fights.

Got a title shot against Vitor coming off a loss

Got a title shot against Chuck for 1 win against Mike Van Arsdale(perfect style matchup)

Got another title shot against Tim Sylvia coming off a loss



He got 3 UFC title fights after he lost his last fight....Has anyone ever got 1 title shot coming off a loss? curious

 

[cabear]

which is why dana took it so hard when randy went against the ufc.

 

[DRTP91]

Different times. He was a huge name, him and Liddell took the sport to another level with tuf.

 

[Tylerlikesmma]

Probably Urijah Faber.

dude won the premier FW title before 145 was in the UFC tho. He should be recognized more as a legit former champ, imo

 

[Reign009]

Randy is a legend. Back then they were trying to use him to push other fighters. He was old even way back then, lol. But he fucked it up and beat younger guys that he was supposed to lose to. It won him over with the fans and UFC.

 

[Garnet_StrongerThanYou]

He’s got that Dana White Privelege.

BJ Penn too.

 

[TR1]

Holly Holm had pretty ridiculous title shots.

 

[Megatronlee]

No such thing. This is sports entertainment

 

[CashMoney1991]

to be fair HW division was thin as fuck back then LHW wasn't that amazing either

 

[Blanqa Blanqua]

He’s got that Dana White Privelege.

BJ Penn too.

PUT SOME RESPEK

 

[Handsome Bruce]

He had that Dana White Privilege.

 

[SalvadorAllende]

Frankie?

This right here... the sport was still growing then, and Randy was one of the few stars. There were only 4 divisions then, and the pool of fighters was much smaller. Those guys helped build the sport we have today.

Conor was given a LW title shot with zero wins in the division, and a second LW title-shot after a two year absence

Dana white privilege

 

[Icecreamguy]

He beat sylvia when sylvia had the shallower thanna kiddy pool heavy weight division otherwise cleared out. Ya ts youre right, but randy had some good wins up to just about the end of his career too. Everyone back then wanted to see fedor couture more than anything too.

 

[StoneColdSteveAustin]

He’s a legend. He deserved it all.

 

[GODZILLA213]

Can't belive you would include the shot against Vitor to strengthen you're argument. I still dont consider Vitor a former LHW champion.

 

[NoSmilez]

You are missing alot of context. He challenged for the HW belt and lost. He then got granted a shot at LHW championship. Nobody was moving up or down back then except for Randy and BJ. BJ went on strike though. Randy was a good boy until he wanted to chase Fedor.

 

[tenniswhiz]

Frankie Edgar got a title shot against Benson Henderson coming off a loss.
He also got a title shot against Jose Aldo coming off two straight losses.

Way to remove all the key details as to why just to fit your narrative...
