11. Emi Matsushita: The only champion to defend their title at Krush 89 was Matsushita, defending her atomweight strap by majority decision.

14. Leandro Issa: Armbarred Roman Alvarez in the co-main event of OneFC: Spirit of a Warrior.

t15. Antonina Shevchenko/Te’Jovan Edwards: Earned contracts to the UFC, and for the all the female flyweights in the company, I’m so sorry, the Shevchenko sisters own you.

t15. Rashad Evans/Johny Hendricks: If it’s a career for these two, as they’re claiming, it was quite a career for these former world champions, and they’ve presided over some of the most profitable and successful times in MMA.
