Every Undefeated UFC Title Challenger Ranked Worst To Best 

I personally prefer these lists to Top 10s. They feel more complete as there are always entries that have to be cut otherwise. Glad you guys are moving toward these more often

technically izzy could be on here twice because he was undefeated when he challenged for the lhw belt

This is one crazy list.

Israel challenging for the LHW belt against Jan Blachowicz was the most credentialed undefeated challenger in UFC history and also did they forget Henry Cejudo?

Henry Cejudo was undefeated when he fought DJ

Fully believe nobody was beating Cody that night against Dom, dude entered the matrix, effortlessly dismantling a dominant champion. He achieved ultra instinct, if only for a night

7:11 when you remember how fast GSP was

What about Chael Sonnen and the Suga Show. You kind of lost credibility not mentioning these two. Give them an asterisk if you must but come on, these two are clearly undisputed and undefeated!!!

Love that this was 30 min! Thank you!

I'm old enough to remember the rise of Evans and machida, lyoto was really special, not to mention he taken about 8 fighters undefeated streak including Evans, thiago silva, Franklin and bonnar !!

Great video, was a trip down memory lane

I remember placing a bet for Holly. I had her KO head kick since she loved that combo she does. Everyone and I mean everyone was telling me to withdraw my bet saying I’m throwing money away. I watched her career in boxing I knew she would win. Everyone was saying how good Ronda striking was I’m like “you guys for real?!” If I remember correctly I won 5k easy plus a bonus for a knockout prediction 😊 now everyone is saying Ronda wasn’t great these bandwags lol

Thank you for having that entry at no. 1 DC rarely gets his flowers but the ol' boy has done A LOT for the sport and his legacy.

Great list, effort continues to go up and production continues to get better

Love the list and a great topic to cover, the background music inside the top 10 was somewhat overpowering.

Sherk fighting Radach was actually his third UFC fight. He had wins over Jutaro Nakao and Tiki Ghosn.

"Zingganou" made me do a double take, lol

Never been a huge weidman fan, but that elbow vs Munoz is one of the nastiest elbows I’ve ever seen

That Dominick Reyes head kick was one of those "cocky rat got karma"! Sooo satisfying! So sad that after JJ fight his career went such downward spiral

Another banger of a video fellas. Love sipping my morning coffee while I wake up to some MMA On Point. 🤙🏻🤙🏻

Awesome video, guys!!!!

Great video

Lmao the shot of Omalley after saying cabbagev

I like the sneaky “holes in his game” regarding Tim Silva.

If BJ Penn opened his own BJJ gym, he could call it BJ Penn's BJJ Penn.

Did i miss something or there is no cejudo on the list?

8:50 iconic commentary lmao

This is such an odd list. The majority of the justification for the whole list is "How many UFC fights did they have?"

The Last Red Rocket Bender

Could you make a picture or a file of the rankings every time you rank stuff, that would be awesome, thanks :)

That Chad Mendes jump was insane

Another banger, boys 👍

Sherk actually had THREE wins in the UFC prior to facing Matt Hughes for the welterweight strap. Tiki Ghosen, Jutaro Nakao and Benji Radach. Sherk actually had more wins in the UFC than Hughes had when he challenged Carlos Newton for the belt at UFC 34. In fact, Hughes was coming off a UFC LOSS to Dennis Hallman (UFC 29) when he faced Newton!

Mannnnn, I still think that "prime Cane" could still compete with the top of the current Heavyweights. I genuinely think he was that good in his prime.

This is why MMA is so awesome, you never know whats gonna happen

Having to randomly hear Michael Schiavellos voice is torture

you guys should do Top ten fights we wished played out longer 🤔 ex: Mcgregor Aldo , Cat Ronda, Jorge Askren

4:44 im dead

joanna violence lol super kool

Topuria at 11 is insulting

Yea boii have a nice day everyone!

That Linland stink graphics thoooo 😂

Wasnt cejudo undefeated at 197???

Shane Carwin at 3 above Gane feels egregious. He should be nowhere near that high.

Pedro was JDS before JDS

I watched Rousey v Holm with one dude that I knew a little, and like 9 of his friends that all claimed to be huge mma fans. Like 6 of them gave me 3 to 1 odds when I said Holly would win. I put $20 down against all of them individually... worked out pretty well for me that night lol.

12:37 Randy lookin like Chael here

This is a great list and interesting to know how many there were and who each of them are! Not to say your ranking is wrong or anything its all personal opinion. For me, Ortega would be a lot further down the list because he was losing every fight until he found the finish. That to me meant that he wasn’t good enough to compete against Max (and others at the top of the division) skill wise. He is gd at finding opportunities and making good use of them but that can only go so far. I think that was further proven when he fought Volk too with the 2 huge chances he found but was otherwise mauled.

Bailien? Bayleen? Bailey?

Id love to see a list of the top 10 chins in the UFC

Great list, but surprised Jon Jones wasn't included.

Knowing Cain was a underdeveloped undefeated fighter fighting for the belt for the first time against Brock lesnar fckd my whole timeline up

I almost forgot Paolo used to wear lipstick.

I would not call Ryan Hall "a prospect"

Tbf, alot of those older guys that were only 5-0 , the sport was still so young. You didn't really have guys with more than 10 or 15 fights

So weird to me that all the professional MMA media STILL call Din Thomas "Dean"

I remember when costa fought adesanya polls were 50/50 on who would win

We need a top ten division gate keepers

mma on point the #1 p4p goat

where jon jones we not counting that DQ💯

I was waiting for Jon Jones then I forgot about the hammer

Listening to this in the background, so did I miss Cody Garbrandt's part? Because if his undefeated run to and dancing on Cruz wasn't included, what're you doing? lol

The Dragon!!🐉

Contender motivated Izzy is scary. He don't mess around.

horrendous title. Every single title challenger in UFC history was an absolute beast.....

Do a top 10 list on the greatest comeback win streaks of all time? One example of that would be Karolina Kowalkiewicz. If she wins her next fight, then she hits a 5 fight win streak.

Johanna E-yon-jay-check

@4:03 BJ knocked dude out that was wearing the worlds smallest cup

Ronda Rousey the chunker was all hype and should be at the bottom.

What about when Henry Cejudo fought DJ for the first time? 🤔

Yeah we got a banger with this one

Every time I see the Volk ko, it still hurts 💔

😂 The Matt Lindland stink card transition

I feel like, according to the criteria stated in the beginning of the vid, Sara McMann should be higher. She ragdolled all of her previous opponents. There was a very real feeling that she might beat Rousey at the time.

Good video, man. One thing i completely disagree with is the music. I know i will get hate for this, 11 years in, i have never needed music. People are weak minded, i cope, or i get by with music. Dude, just bite down on your mouthpiece and get to work. Guys and gals have to learn to be gritty and have self motivation. For me, my personal life stops at the gaurd shack. Those stresses do not follow me in the building.

Bro i was so sure that jones was number one that i forgot about dc and jons dq loss

Till is a bit high for my liking, only had two relevent wins over a former lightweight on a losing streak and a very controversial decision over a top contender.

MMA Right On Point 💯

You forgot Henry Cejudo. He would be somewhere in the middle probably

8:54 I'm sorry wut🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Couldn't be MMA? Not just UFC? It's a sport not a league. Appreciate the content nonetheless.

Shavkat and Tom Aspinall should be here. I know Tom is not undefeated but.. that wasn't a loss.

3:56 Dean Thomas Dean Thomas?

*#1* Gotta be the *NOTORIOUS* *Mac* *Daddy* *Conor* *McGregor* n then The *Suga* *Show* *Sean* *Omally!!*

How is khabib in the top 10? Hes the definition of padded record, got some good wins later but this after the most gifted title of all time, khabib dickriding ruins MMA dicussion every time

Watching silva pretend to be hurt only to get slept is always gold. That man is the best example of letting stuff get to your head. He thought he was untouchable and all his last fights were legacy ruining.

When you see dc destroy everyone with wrestling, then you see jones outwrestle dc, that’s when we knew he was the goat

Khabib should be top 10 tbh. Hasn’t beat anyone when he fought Iaquinta for a vacant belt

I think teporia only won cause volk got rattled so hard in the second Malkhachev. He so badly shouldn't of taken that fight. The talent on these divisions is so stacked that the differences between weight is far too much.

Reyes vs Jones wasn’t just close, Reyes won. And I was one of the believers. Put $200 on reuses and was robbed by the judges!

I knew once we got to the top 3 , it had to be DC at #1!

Yes black Fedor

I gotta think that Shane carwin and Kyoto machida will be top 10

Why don't y'all make a video on why the UFC keeps phuking over Sandhagan?

bro what the fuck is gane doing so high, his best wins tuivisa and we know how well that's aged

I’m not sure if you have a dumbest game plan video Cat Zigano vs Rousey should be number 1

I am having doubts this is actually ranked worst to best, like Cody Garbrandt getting the title easily vs at the time topshelf Cruz and then jumping next to Darren Till who wasn't even close to winning a round in his title fight. love ya

#FREECAIN

Joanna flying through the air!!!!😂
