Best fighter to NOT win a belt...

Crocop, Kazushi Sakuraba

come to mind but that is original title "a belt" UFC is not the only belt in MMA ... -_-
 
Faber or Hendo. If other orgs count, however, Mendes.
 
If Interim titles don't count I'd say Carlos Condit.
 
mendes/condit(disregarding wec)
Condit is the former interim WW Champ.

For any fighter that his been in the UFC and not held a belt I think the top 2 would have to be Faber and Chael to a lesser degree.
 
Amazing, as far as I can see only one guy had the correct answer in this thread.

Atleast one UFC fight?

Tournaments don't count?

Kazushi "the former UFC HW tournament champion" Sakuraba!
 
Not the "BEST" imo, but Kenny Florian's ufc story is truly a sad one, He did awesome in the fights he won,& did awesome in his title fights but just couldnt get that belt at the end of the day, all the training & hours of his life sacrificed for his chances @ gold &it never happened.

He is a great guy & commentator
