Every sport has them. Talented guys. Likable guys. The guys your dad roots for. But in the end, the guys who just couldn’t pass over that hump. They are the bridesmaids of their professions.

You may wish to quibble with the specific definition of “bridesmaid,” but the main parameters for inclusion are someone who has never put the UFC gold around the waist and someone who has repeatedly received and fallen short in either title fights, eliminator bouts (official or unofficial) or both.
Here’s what it does not mean: a guy who lost a title fight once. We’re looking for patterns here. Savvy?
That’s great. So onward, then, to the list, which will surely not foment any dissent from anyone. Giddyup!
