Hes beaten

Arlovski
JDS
Mir
Lesnar
Belfort

Is there anyone who has beaten more former UFC champs than Overeem?

Only one I could think of is Jon Jones (But he beat Rua when Rua was a champ. So does it technically not count?)
 
GSP

Hughes x 2
Serra
BJ Penn x 2
Sherk
Condit (interim)
Shields (strikeforce/shooto)
 
Matt Hughes I know has beaten 5
BJ
GSP
Newton 2x
Serra
Sherk
6 if you count Royce as a champ
War Hughes
 
Overeem has also beaten the current HW champ.
 
Renzo Gracie has beaten an assload of old school champs. I'll have to check the fight finder for names, but I think he beat like 7 of them
 
Jones:

Shogun
Rampage
Rashad
Machida
Belfort
Cormier
 
Fedor beat:
Coleman
Nog interim
Arlovski
Sylvia
 
Fedor has beaten 5, as well.

But as has been pointed out, your count is wrong. Reem has beaten 6.

But considering that Fedor has never fought a single fight in the UFC, 5 is pretty impressive.
 
Fedor has 5 also:

Coleman, Randleman, Arlovski, Sylvia, Nogueria
 
Honorable mention: Fedor, who beat one less than Overeem without ever having fought in the UFC. Has anyone else done that?

Mark Coleman (2x)
Kevin Randleman
Tim Sylvia
Andrei Arlovski
 
Fedor has 7 wins over former UFC HW champs:

Coleman
Coleman
Randleman
Arlovski
Sylvia
Big Nog
Big Nog

Not bad for a guy who "only fought cans outside the UFC".

It makes it more impressive.
 
This smells like a new version of MMA math. How many future champs did he beat between losing to former champ Liddell and beating Arlowski?
 
GSP

Hughes x 2
Serra
BJ Penn x 2
Sherk
Condit (interim)
Shields (strikeforce/shooto)

Shark and BJ were LW champs not WW and Sherk only won it after the GSP fight. Interim can't possibly count.
