Gil Castillo probably. He actually did beat Nate Marquardt in a smaller promotion when Marquadt was like 20 years old and lost to Dave Menne for the title.
If we're counting Pride, gotto go with Kanehara. Ended up with a 21-27-5 record.
If we're counting Pride, Wanderlei's fight with Tatsuya Iwasaki would have to rank right up there (assuming it was a title fight). Don't feel bad if you don't remember it, it was a dad vs teenager type of scenario that Pride threw out there to see if ANY Japanese fighter could beat Silva. Of course, hindsight being what is is, we know the obvious answer to that...
