Did a UFC Fighter ever Become Champion Without Losing any Fights Before?

[Sansnom]

I was wondering if any fighter has become UFC champion before without having lost any fights prior.

Darren Till is currently undefeated inside and outside of the UFC. 17-0-1 And has a chance to win the belt tonight .

Has it ever happened before? I can't think of anyone right now..

Tim Sylvia was the first undefeated ufc champ under the unified rules.

Mark Coleman was the first under the previously used rules.

Royce Gracie

What belt did Royce win? He was a tournament champ

Cain Velasquez, Chris Weidman, Ronda Rousey, Jon Jones technically, Frank Mir, Frank Shamrock and I'm sure many others I can't think of right now.
