Who is the best fighter to never win a world title.

gustaffson
rory macdponald

I would say Chael, if all was fair in this world he should have been fighting for the title against Paulo Filho and he was like 30 seconds away from beating Anderson.

 

[TriangleMonkey]

Great answers thus far

-Kenflo
-Romero
-Moose
-Maia

 

[Bjjpitbull8]

Interim belts being counted rules out Ferguson. I think Yoel is the best answer.

 

[Katsushyro]

Jacaré, Romero, Faber, Ferguson,

 

[Phill]

Joseph Benevidez

 

[Phill]

Jon Fitch

 

[GaryEric]

Don Frye

even if the answer is wrong it is right

 

[BabyBlue_Bomber]

Matt Lindland

 

[Kertol]

Rory MacDonald
Stephen Thompson
Jacare Souza

Don Frye

joking? he won the ufc belt. Granted, before weight classes, but it’s still ufc gold.

 

[dmwalking]

Rory MacDonald
Stephen Thompson
Jacare Souza

jacare was strike force champ. And didn’t Rory get the bellator belt?

 

[Hatorade]

Gus
He had the bad misfortune of having DC and Jones in his weight class.

 

[The Rivv]

I’d say Wonderboy is pretty good option, ohh and Tony if we don’t count interim titles.

God it’s been a hard year for Tony fans lol, I guess it’s what we get for being so annoying haha


He’s still my boi tho

 

[The Rivv]

Ohh Gus I forgot about him haha. Dudes legit man LHW isn’t that stacked but he fought the best in an admittedly more sparse division.

DC two weight world champion fought to a respectable split decision.

Jones possible GOAT fought him to a close decision in their first fight.

Anthony Johnson guy just had strange power.

Gus just was held down by the Black Man.

Uh ha sure did but then he found Jesus and poof there goes the Red King.

 

[Mike]

Gustafsson or Thiago Silva.

I'm counting interim belts.

Cro Cop I guess too but Grand Prix and King of Kings are in championship purgatory IMO. They clearly aren't belts but they aren't clearly not world titles either.

Thiago Silva? LMAO

In today's lhw division Gus would win the title he just had two goats and 1 contender with otherworldly ko power to keep him back.. No one was beating those 3 guys in today's lhw division even today with Reyes, Jan etc and all them. The DC/Jones/Rumble trifecta was pretty much unstoppable for anyone outside of that.

 

[fastone]

if yoel started training mma and joined UFC earlier he would have been champ for sure.
