There was this guy in UFC 224, once he fought for the title...

[AimedWithV]

...yet his whole MMA career went under the radar.

He had two stints in the UFC, now probably in the end of the second one.
He had a lot of not-really-exciting fights (including the title shot itself), but he was always an active. A true workhorse. Some of his wins are really underrated.
Now he fights in the undercards...

Usually these guys are NOT forgotten, especially since MMA is such a young sport.
He probably will be...because it'll take time for you to understand who I'm talking about.

Yet he deserves the thread, because his career WAS interesting.

What's crazy is Rashad Evans' next fight is on the fight pass prelims!

Thought about it too, actually.

Rashad was considered a star once...he has fallen into obscurity not just because he's far from his prime.
Even aged veterans can coach TUF, for example. And he did it! Can you see him doing it again? In any future?

Belfort was champion.

Belfort was champion.

Yeah i know, but did the original post say that he was or wasn't champion? No it didn't

The op implied the fighter fought for the title but never won it. See the bolded below ..

Vitor fought for the title more then once.

Vitor fought for the title more then once.

Even "won" it once.

Rashad is one of the coach’s of that Henri Hooft camp in Florida.

Considering his recent performances in the octagon, it's not really that crazy.

Yeah, he's a coach with experience already. He coached Blackzilians too.

I mean, he won't coach TUF not because UFC don't believe in his abitites. They just won't give him TV time anymore...
