Only five of UFC welterweight history's 12 champions won immediately after losing the title

A look at UFC welterweight title history shows that only five of the division's 12 champions won their next fight after dropping the belt, with Matt Hughes and Georges St-Pierre the only men to string together two or more consecutive wins immediately following a title loss. The last five former champions — Tyron Woodley, Kamaru Usman, Leon Edwards, Belal Muhammad, and Jack Della Maddalena — all lost at least once after their title reigns ended. Muhammad fights this week, and Della Maddalena has not competed since his post-title defeat.
