Wrong season
It was the BJ vs Edgar season

That makes sense. I thought he looked much older than when he went against Jens.

Found another. Honestly never even heard of this guy before but he does have 5 UFC fights and his only loss is in his last fight to Joshua Van - https://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Rei-Tsuruya-380465

Fuuny how if Pantoja didn't break his arm, Rei wouldn't make the list

Liddell if he didn't have a brain fart against jardine

Lol how are you digging these up?

Just thinking of some of the more obscure champs over the years as well as newer champs and then looking at their fight finders to see fighters that I knew only had a few losses.

I also identified a few guys who fit the bill but then had a loss or 2 at the very tail end of their career to non champs, or champs of other orgs but they don't apply.

Off the top of my head I was convinced Max would fit the bill but then I saw his fight finder and remembered he had an early loss to Dennis Bermudez.

Thought of him but he lost to Jeremy Horn early in his career.

Well I admire your effort man!

Yeah there are lot of fighters, like Yan and Max, that dropped one early in their career. Which makes this quite a prestigious list imo for what it's worth.

Honorable mention to DJ who in his 4th pro fight lost a 3 round decision to the then 18-4 Brad Pickett.

James Toney.

I still think Max beat Bermudez.
