As the Reebok era comes to a close, could you name some (notable) wins of MMA fighters that were seem to be forgotten nowadays?

-NMF Wonderboy Thompson has a KO win over former MW champ Robert Whittaker, and a UD win over BMF Jorge Masvidal

-Henry Cejudo aka "Triple C" has made history and became one of the all time greats, but Joseph Benavidez actually has a win over him and beat him first before he became Triple C.

-Rumble Johnson is one of the scariest fighters in MMA and has some of the most vicious KO highlights ever. He's remembered being tapped out by DC, but DC's team mate and TUF 1 original Josh Koscheck already choked out Rumble at welterweight.

-With Lil Nog retiring, many might say that his wins in the UFC were unmemorable, but early on his career, he has wins over legends Dan Henderson, Alistair Overeem, and the great "Gracie killer" Kazushi Sakuraba.

-Michael "The Menace" Johnson might seem to be one of the most exciting yet inconsistent fighters in the UFC. He dropped down to 145 (and yes I know you'll never forget his win with the "GOAT" Artem Lobov) but came back at a now stacked LW division, people seem to forget that he has wins over: Tony Ferguson, knocked out Dustin Poirier, and gave Edson Barboza his 1st decision loss.

What do you have in mind?

Sound off.

Rumble Johnson also got RNC'd by no love rich clementi.

At a lower weight class mind you.

Also came to say Ricardo Clementi, Cody Garbrandts father??? Step father??? Long lost dad?
 
Another win few talk about is Royce Gracie beating Hidehiko Yoshida. Sure, the first fight ended in a controversial fashion where it looked like Royce may have been choked out, but he worked his much bigger foe in the rematch. This is a guy went toe to toe with Wanderlei Silva. Pretty great win for old man Royce.

edit: it was a one sided draw due to stupid rules. Royce definitely “won” though.
