Jussier Formiga is arguably the best UFC flyweight who has never fought for the title.
The 34-year-old Brazilian has long been ranked near the top of the division — and currently sits at No. 1, just below champ Henry Cejudo. He has often been one win away, or perhaps deserving of a title shot, but things simply have not lined up the right way at the right time.
Formiga, who is currently riding a four-fight winning streak and has only lost twice in the past five years, is set to meet Joseph Benavidez later this month at UFC Minneapolis.
