Is there a case of an undefeated UFC fighter?   I am not aware of any.   UFC is tough and just about anyone can win on a given day. 

Jon Jones if you accept the Dominick Reyes decision and former champ Khabib if you accept the Gleison Tibau decision.

3 years into his MMA career, Chandler won a belt.  

3 years into his MMA career, Gaethje won a belt and successfully defended it. 

3 years into his MMA career, Nickal lost to the only ranked fighter he's faced. 

Big deal. I wear a belt every day. Nobody will even challenge me for my belt. Today my pants have a belt BUILT IN. Maybe Nickal has pants that fit perfectly and doesn't need a belt.

UFC does not produce undefeated folks.   Is there a case of an undefeated UFC fighter?   I am not aware of any.   UFC is tough and just about anyone can win on a given day.   The thing is, can Bo figure this out?  Can he adjust and improve.   He felt pain maybe for the first time and can he overcome that and come out stronger.   He has not been challenged much.   Hopefully he turns this into a win streak.

Isn’t Chimaev?

I think Bo has been properly labeled as a high level prospect.  That outcome can go both ways.  As for RDR I think he's properly rated. Outside the noise and spectacle of the last fight he was and still is considered a legit contender for the title.  He's up there in age so the window is small.

But RDR is only ranked #13 (or I guess #14).  Does that make him a “legit contender for the title”?

Yes he is.  I took mspart's statement as in a career.

185 is deep.  I'd have him at #9 with a fight set up against Strickland.  Yes he's a title contender if the chips fall his way.  I don't think he can beat Imavov but can beat Driscus.

Jon Jones is not undefeated even if you accept the Reyes decision.

Let’s use wrestling ncaa d1 terms.  How many people legitimately humiliated by the #14 wrestler at their weight after training at a high level for 5 years a legit title contender at NCAAs.  Humiliated = 15/16 old school take downs and free escapes in the first or second period.
