Ranking the Best UFC Fighters Who Have Never Won a Belt | News, Scores, Highlights, Stats, and Rumors

Joseph Benavidez went 0-2 in his two flyweight title shots, but it is not a shame to go winless against the greatest fighter the sport has ever seen.

Benavidez has good power and excellent wrestling. He came up just shy against Demetrious Johnson in their first bout for the inaugural flyweight strap. The second encounter was more emphatic, as Johnson knocked out Benavidez. Such a defeat could have sent a fighter on a downward spiral, but not Benavidez.

After that second loss to Johnson, Benavidez went on a six-fight win streak. He was, without debate, the No. 1-ranked contender with that record. After injury setbacks, Benavidez returned at UFC 225, but Sergio Pettis would come out on top in Chicago.
