That's gotta be the record. That's what made me ask about tkz and gaethje .Both are always contenders for fight of the year, but would UFC keep them if they kept churning out fotn but losing?
I don't think so. In my opinion the only reason they keep letting BJ fight is because of his legendary status in the sport.

Neither Gaethje nor TKZ has that.

I'm sure they both have more fotn awards

Those is my question. Do they release someone who keeps losing but puts on the best fights consistently?. They just paid bj 300k to fight in a prelim that nobody saw...

Currently I’d have to research
Jessica Eye had 4 but has won 3 in a row since

Who had the longest L streak without getting cut?
Not sure. Dan Hardy dropped four straight but Lorenzo, who owned the UFC at the time, came out and said something like I will never release Dan Hardy.

Chuck was only 3 straight before "retiring".

MMAHAWK @MMAHAWK you know anyone with more than 4 straight losses staying on the roster?
A sort of related question more pertinent to TMMAC: Who has been "pinked" the most without being perma-banned?

Motherfucker is lucky I resigned as chief regulator. Or I would probably cause trouble

I think Elvis Sinosic lost 6 in a row but he was cut, case back and lost more.

Doesn’t count, maybe.

Baroni too.

I thought this guy was going to be a contender after he beat Bruce Leroy. I was surprised that he kept losing. Hopefully he gets some good experience outside and comes back, because even though he had disappointing results, dude comes to fight.

Knight was a guy who’s record I didn’t care about; I would tune in regardless. Sure he wasn’t anywhere near challenging for a title, but he always brought it and was crazy entertaining. There are only a small number of elite fighters in each division....that leaves plenty of room for can’t miss guys like Knight. It’s too bad.

Exciting fighter, thick deep south accent, had some impressive wins but dropped 4 straight so this shouldn't come as a surprise to anybody.

Amazing power and hard chin, but his technique wasn't the smoothest and, as you can see by his record, his opponents exploited aforementioned sloppiness.
I may have to investigate then...

he needs to go to bellator or rizin, he has an exciting style is athletic durable and hits hard; an in these two org he won't face guys capable of dominating him purely by outwrestling him.

his ream hadn't developed him further...his def wrestling is trash, he can't initiate scrambles and his striking essentially serves him up to be taken down..
