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

[Muay Thai #1]

He was humiliated by hamill before....

Not only humiliated, but FINISHED by Matt "The Hammer" Hamill

Vicious loss.

Still a loss. If you want people to come in here and give you a list of people who didn't have any REAL losses, based on each individual's nut-hugging excuses for the losses, then this thread is going to get wild, fast.

Joanna, plus the dozens already mentioned. Some quick research would have saved you from looking like a complete moron

 

[MPD-Psycho]

How could you forget Rashad and Machida?

Their championship fight was billed as 2 undefeated.

 

[Mammothman]

Ronda, Joanna? Are you new here?

 

[Thc Sargon]

Cyborg, right?

 

[20falarVerdades]

Jones had a loss on his record - Matt Hammil

 

[13 others]

What belt did Royce win? He was a tournament champ

Shut ur pie hole

 

[elanimalsantana]

Cyborg, right?

No

 

[pick999]

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..

khabib, ronda, Joanna, Weidman, Garbrandt cain,

there you go,

 

[snackgod]

Khabib has the chance Oct 6

wrong
ng

 

[snackgod]

ortega will be the next to do that.

doesn't count he has a no contest.

 

[snackgod]

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.

frank mir lost a fight before becoming ufc champ

 

[snackgod]

Lol I don't know why I didn't even think of Jones, Weidman etc.. Obvious choices.

No more threads when i'm getting drunk.

jones has a lose.

 

[Soul On Ice]

Jones

Matt Hamill doesn't count
Iaqinta belt doesn't count

 

[boss429]

frank mir lost a fight before becoming ufc champ

I stand corrected then, thought he was undefeated.

 

[snackgod]

Jones

Matt Hamill doesn't count
Iaqinta belt doesn't count

 

[snackgod]

I stand corrected then, thought he was undefeated.

It was at ufc 30 something

 

[snackgod]
