He was the fourth and final World Extreme Cagefighting Featherweight Champion and then became the inaugural and longest-reigning UFC Featherweight Champion after the UFC and WEC merged, defending that title seven times and the WEC title twice. After his first defeat in 2005 he won 18 straight fights, until a loss at UFC 194 in December 2015. He is widely counted among the greatest featherweights of all time.
