The UFC Featherweight Title: A Visual History

UFC 231 is now available on Amazon Prime.

To appreciate the extent to which the history of the Ultimate Fighting Championship men’s featherweight division has been the story of one man, you need only understand this: Saturday’s UFC 231 headliner between Max Holloway and Brian Ortega will be the first undisputed title fight in divisional history not to feature Jose Aldo.

Ushered in as the inaugural UFC featherweight champ thanks to his status as the final World Extreme Cagefighting titleholder, “Scarface” would go on to defend his new strap seven times, a divisional record that seems unlikely to fall anytime soon.
