Best fighter to NOT win a belt...

Best fighter to not win a belt in any organisation?

Probs Hendricks / Gustaffsson
 
Wanderlei Silva. Dan Henderson (not counting UFC 17 gold medal?). Big Nog (unless counting interim belts?). Vitor Belfort (he did win the lhw belt off of a cut 50 seconds into the fight, would we rule that a no contest now? He won the heavyweight tournament as well but belt)

Honorable mentions: Oleg Taktarov( UFC 5 winner, belt? Medal?) Marco Ruas (winner, medal?)
Honorable modern era mentions: Carlos Condit (interim counts?) Jake Shields. Nick Diaz. Kenny Florian. Uriah Faber.

If we're heading back to the beginning ... Royce Gracie never received a belt did he?
 
Benavidez

Mendes

LW has a few great ones

Hendricks, Condit

Chael

Gus, Davis

Bigfoot Silva
 
Does interim count if not I'd say condit if it does then Fabre I guess even though I'm not a fan
 
Faber. Easily.

I said Florian earliar in this thread, but hell yea your right, Faber's been through alot, sucks to see such a skilled fighter always fall short of ufc gold

Yeah, its getting to the point where if Faber doesn't win his next title shot, I'm just going to slam my head against a wall. He's so talented that its frustrating not seeing him with a UFC belt.
