mhm, true that. 

well, i certainly don't care what people think about Hendo, (personally I like the guy, but I can see where people would have issues with him).

For my money, I say Florian is the greatest non-champ ever, Fitch is right up there though, and yes Hendo too.  If someone hasn't already done it, there needs to be a Top 10 "Greatest Fighters to never win UFC gold" Ranking. That'd be a hard one to do.

Fitch is the greatest UFC fighter to never win a title.

Fitch has one of the top 5 best UFC records ever.

Fitch is the **** and if you don't think so you're an idiot.

Oh and Hendo is a cheater.

Fitch has a better record than Florian and faced better fighters. He also had less chances at UFC gold. He's better than Florian.

@Anik.. Hendo is getting his 3rd shot shortly... so kenflo and him would be tied for UFC title shots.

I am not a big Jon Fitch fan, but he is the best UFC fighter to never win a title. That's just a fact.

Does Hendo not count as a UFC fighter? He's had 2 title shots and I would say he's better than Fitch. KFlo, no clue, since KFlo was pretty well rounded.

EDIT: I guess you could count his middleweight belt for the 1 night tourney.
Also apparently missed the discussion above.

@Anik,
Name another person who has wins over Fedor, Shogun, Big Nog, Wanderlei, Renzo Gracie, Babalu, Belfort, Franklin, Bisping.

He already has one of the craziest resumes in MMA. If he beats Jon Jones, he'll possibly be the greatest P4P fighter right now.

@OldNick not doubting his resume. But he never won a UFC championship. Call me when he does.

Hendo almost lost the Palhares fight too, but his resume outweighs almost every other fighter I can think of. He won the middleweight belt in Pride (much better than the UFCs LHW belt at the time) and lost to Rampage in the title shot (Pride fighter and a LHW GOAT top 5). Then he also gained the welterweight belt which is pretty significant as in BJ Penn with the LW and WW belts significant. Hendo's Pride career alone makes him a top P4P fighter in the history of MMA.
