Records reflect UFC title bouts only. Tournament wins and Superfight titles are not included.
All fighters with 2 or more consecutive title defenses in the UFC are included.
* WEC featherweight champion Jose Aldo and WEC bantamweight champion Dominic Cruz were awarded UFC championship titles as a part of the WEC/UFC merger, technically marking their first UFC bouts as title defences.

It is much appreciated. Thank you sir
All right, you win. Asterisk it is
I see your point, but I disagree. Can I at least hope for an asterisk next to their names maybe?
Yeah it’s not clear-cut… I know that tecnically, Aldo’s and Cruz’s WEC titles were automatically converted into UFC titles before their first fights in UFC, it just feels wrong to consider their first UFC fight an official title defense.
But if Aldo had the title before his fight with Hominick the he defended it against Hominick. And Cruz won the UFC title by defeating Scott Jorgensen in a UFC title fight at WEC 53 and then went on to defend it twice.
I would have Aldo at 2. I don’t feel his first UFC fight should be considered a title defense. Same with Cruz.
So if Aldo wins his fight against Mendes Would you list him as having 3 defenses or 2? Just curious.
Jones is right here with two.
Cruz & Aldo are arguable, but I stand by my previous comment.
