Jones received a title shot against Shogun due to Rashad getting injured.
Till received a title shot at Woodley due to Covington needing deviated septum surgery and not being able to fight, so that's also injury replacement.
Penn received a title shot against Hughes via injury replacement as well, GSP was originally scheduled to fight Hughes, but got injured.
I don't understand how Woodley vs Thompson II is on the list, the first fight was a draw. Yes, the champ retains his belt in a draw, but he didn't really defeat the challenger, that's why a 1 goes in the draw column and not the loss column.
TJ vs. Cejudo happened at FLW, not BW.
I strongly disagree with Barao. Not only was he 32-1-1 when he lost to Dillashaw the first time, but he didn't even receive an instant rematch despite Dana claiming he was the P4P best in the world right before losing.
EDIT: Actually, Barao did receive an instant rematch, but he cracked his head cutting weight and had to pull out. Still, there have been far more egregious instant rematches (Stipe vs. DC II off the top of my head).
