Every Undefeated UFC Title Challenger Ranked Worst To Best

[@korl8524]

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

[@AnimeMemesz]

Takes a lot more work for them I assume, though I appreciate the effort.

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

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?

[@jejbsh2191]

He's just lame enough to be forgotten

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

[@Jinocidal]

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.
