A few notes about how this list was calculated before we begin:
In order to qualify for this list a fighter must have been an undisputed UFC champion, no interim-only champions allowed, so Shane Carwin is off the hook for that reason.

Of all the champions the UFC has ever had, 18 of them have won the title and lost it without ever winning another title fight in the UFC again.  To make this list a champion must have proved themselves to be worse than any of the champions who achieved only the bare minimum in their time on top of a division.

This means that some fighters MMA fans love to hate on, such as Tim Sylvia and Brock Lesnar are not on this list.  Lesnar technically defended the title twice, and against Frank Mir and Shane Carwin, who were 2 top ranked heavyweights at the time.  Tim Sylvia also won 3 separate UFC Heavyweight title fights, enough to prevent him from landing on this list.

Out of all terrible champions that have come and gone in the UFC, here are the top 4.

Here are the four worst UFC champions of all time…

  1. wow, what an idiot. Cormier is a worse champion than Serra and Esparza? Wow.. what a fucking idiot.

  2. And the irony.. He says Barnett is the worst of all time because he fails tests, but Cormier is the second worst because he isn’t better than Jon Jones a MULTIPLE STEROID CHEAT!
