I was thinking about Paul Craig being Jamahal Hills first and only loss. Jamahal went on to win the vacant light heavyweight belt, and the BearJew then loses to a declining Volkan Oezdemir

Another is obviously Dustin Poirier losing to Michael Johnson. Dustin went on to be top 3 in the lightweight division, with Michael Johnson losing the following 9 of 13 fights

I had to look this one up – but Islam Makhachev’s only loss is to Adriano Martins. Adriano went on to lose his next 2 fights, left the ufc and lost the following 3

A young Max Holloway losing a Split decision to Dennis Bermudez.

​

Any other wins which which are more surprising with the test of time?
