Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Who handed Ronda Rousey her first UFC pro loss?

Answer: Holly Holm

Rousey was knocked out at 0:59 in Round 2 by Holm with a devastating head kick to lose her UFC Women's Bantamweight Championship at UFC 193 in November 2015 in Melbourne, Australia.

2. Who were the only two fighters to defeat Francis Ngannou during his UFC tenure from 2016 to 2022?

Answer: Stipe Miocic and Derrick Lewis

Francis tore through the UFC for his seven years on the roster and only two people were able to defeat him. Miocic and Lewis both beat Ngannou by unanimous decision at UFC 220 and UFC 226 respectively in 2018.

3. Who defeated Brock Lesnar causing him to lose his first pro fight?

Answer: Frank Mir

Coming after his first pro win over Minh Soo Kim in "K-1 Dynamite" in 2007, Lesnar signed with the UFC and made his debut against former UFC Heavyweight Champion Frank Mir at UFC 81. Mir submitted Lesnar early in Round 1 with a kneebar. Lesnar later won the UFC Heavyweight Championship and then got revenge against Mir at UFC 100, winning by knockout.

Answer: Rose Namajunas

Heading into their title fight, Jędrzejczyk tried all she could to get into Rose's head, at one point claiming, "The Boogeywomen is coming for you Rose." The trash talking did not work as Namajunas stopped Joanna by technical knockout early in the first round in an upset. Joanna also submitted to the strikes the same time the referee was stopping the fight. Joanna would lose to Rose again in their rematch 5 months later, this time by unanimous decision.

Answer: TJ Dillashaw

Garbrandt was defeated by Dillashaw in their title fight at UFC 217 in November 2017 with a technical knockout in the second round. The two had actually been great friends and training partners until Dillashaw controversially decided to leave the Uriah Faber camp with Duane Ludwig.

The two fought again the following August with Garbrandt this time getting stopped by Dillashaw by knockout in the first round.

Answer: Matt Hamill

The fight between Jones and Hamill took place in 2009. During the fight, Jones landed 12-to-6 elbows and Hamill was unable to continue and thus Hamill was awarded the victory by disqualification. The elbows were illegal at that time, but were later made legal in 2024. However, the loss won't be able to be overturned.

7. Georges St-Pierre is considered one of the greatest MMA fighters of all time. Only two fighters were able to defeat him. Who were they?

Answer: Matt Hughes and Matt Serra

George St-Pierre (GSP) suffered his first pro loss to Matt Hughes at UFC 50 for the vacant UFC Welterweight Championship, submitting to an armbar with one second left in the first round. GSP's second loss came to Matt Serra at UFC 69 in one of the biggest upsets in UFC history that cost GSP the title. GSP was able to get revenge on both, beating Hughes twice and winning the rematch with Serra.

Answer: Jan Blachowicz

Adesanya decided to go up and challenge for the UFC Light Heavyweight Championship at UFC 259 in March 2021. He would suffer his first pro loss to the champion who scored the win over Izzy by unanimous decision.

9. Adesanya moved back down from Light Heavyweight to defend the Middleweight title a couple of times until he suffered his first loss at middleweight to which of his biggest rivals?

Answer: Alex Pereira

Pereira, who had kickboxing victories over Adesanya, including one by knockout, came to the UFC to chase down his rival. Adesanya was again stopped by Pereira by technical knockout in Round 5 to lose the UFC Middleweight Championship. Adesanya got revenge five months later by regaining the title by knocking Pereira out in Round 2.

Answer: Luke Rockhold

In the fourth round, Weidman got tired and was stopped by Rockhold by technical knockout in the fourth round, losing the UFC Middleweight Championship and his undefeated record. The loss came on the same card that Conor McGregor knocked out Jose Aldo in 13 seconds to claim the featherweight title, UFC 194.
