These fighters all defended multiple times but have yet to actually beat a standing UFC champion before.

Jose Aldo
Ronda Rousey
Demetrious Johnson
Daniel Cormier

Any others I'm missing?
 
Cruz

He beat tj but tj beat barao who never beat Cruz

Who never won it from a ufc champ. Ultimate paper loop
 
Jose Aldo
Ronda Rousey
Demetrious Johnson

It's pretty unfair to people who were literally the first champ of their weightclass. Also Rousey did beat Tate, who became a UFC champ. Aldo also beat several WEC champs, when the org had the most prestigious belts under 155.

Cruz

Same as Aldo, Cruz did beat WEC champs when they had the most prestigious belts under 155.

Edit : as people said, Aldo beat former UFC champ Edgar and Cormier beat two former HW champs, I forgot about people in different weight classes.

Bit pointless having dj as he's the only one who's had the title in the division, can't beat himself

That's a stupid thing.
Most started their WC hence there was no champion before them.

But Aldo destroyed plenty of UFC ex-champions.
Ronda beat all top contenders in her division (until Holm)
DJ beat everyone in his division.
DC is not guilty for fighting a guy under PED's.

You are penalizing fighters for something they had absolutely no fault.

Invent new ways to be a hater... this one is blatantly stupid.

Frankie was UFC champion and Aldo beat him twice lol.

And Daniel Cormier beat Frank Mir and Josh Barnett former UFC champions.

So how do you have Aldo and Cormier on your list ? Oh let me guess you just started following MMA for Conor ?

Just pointing out an interesting fact.

Where do you get the hate from?
 
{<huh}

Frankie beat BJ Penn for the belt. I think you're misunderstanding the question.
I think you dont understand what i said lol. Dude said Aldo never beat a UFC champion. Aldo beat Frankie twice. Learn to read please.

Come on now, Kid. this is an obvious jab on fighters that have absolutely no fault there.
You could have made "those are the guys who started the division in the UFC", but you rather concentrate on "they didn't beat the champ to become the champ, so they are obviously cans" angle.

Playing dumb does not help you.

I think you misunderstood his answer.

ALdo beat Frankie (who was a champ)
DC beat multiple ex-HW champions in the UFC.
 
They had a small tournament to decide the first flyweight champ. There was no champion to beat. Mighty mouse did beat Torres who was WEC champion.

I think you forgot that Aldo beat one of the greatest champs ever in Frankie Edgar.
 
You boys need to learn to read....damn.

I think you need to learn how to articulate. You asked "but have yet to actually beat a standing UFC champion before." Because standing means that they had a belt when they were defeated.

Do you mean, UFC champs that have defended their belt, but never beaten anybody that has held a title?
 
Aldo beat all time great Frankie 2X, well rounded beast Mike Brown, and multiple title defense FW great Urijah Faber.

TS is a joke
