Top 5 biggest names in the UFC to have never won a belt

Sisti · February 18

Who would you say are the biggest names in the UFC that have been making waves and taking big fights, but have still never had a belt

I'd go with

1. Chael Sonnen (the king of trash talking and making waves in MMA all the time, but never had the belt)
2. Diego Sanchez (he has been in the UFC for a very very long time, has millions of fight of the night bonuses, has an interesting personality, but no belt)
3. Michael Bisping (another guy who is huge in the trash talking game, but just can't get past the top 3 level...unlike most people on this list, he has not even been to a title match yet)
4. Josh Koscheck (very well-known name and has been around forever)
5. Alistair Overeem (he has had quite a few titles, but never had the big one)

forgot about nick

def a good list there 1-3, I'd put bisping and sanchez in place of 4 and 5 tho because they've lasted the test of time longer than almost anyone in the UFC

i assume you're talking about guys who are there for a long time and just couldn't make it, right? no point saying overeem, then.

about nick, well, he won't be out of that list really soon B-)

I feel foolish for having forgot to include one of the biggest names in MMA history who never reached the top of the UFC heap; Wanderlei Silva

you make a point there. even tho overeem has some serious name recognition since he's fought in the UFC, he hasn't been long

Dan Henderson IS THE BIGGEST NAME TO NEVER HAVE A UFC BELT BY MILES.

However Hendo has held belts in Pride and Strikeforce, that's why I didn't include him. I didn't realize this was exclusive to just UFC's belts. My bad.

JBJ ain't getting through Chael pal. And even if he does Hendo will fold him like a lawn chair.

Dangerous Dan LHW Champ 2013. He's gonna send Macheater to the back of the line come Saturday.

I completely forgot the way the division was working out somehow! That's right, Machida will be the one to retire that bum. Also Macheater? Against THE most obvious case of steroids this side of Overjuiced?
