Times when champions were the underdogs

Underground
1

So Rory Macdonald opened up as a slight favorite against Lawler and I ask what were the previous times that the Champion was the underdog going into the fight?
Silva against Weidman?
Shogun vs Jones?
Matt Hughes vs GSP?

Especially when the Champ has already beat the contender recently. They fought less than 2 years ago, and Robbie had Rory scared to engage. I think it's great Robbie is going to be the underdog here. Easy money. Phone Post 3.0

A great example and one of my favorite stories in mma but I am a big Pulver fan.

Hughes was not the underdog vs GSP. I remember cause I got $2500 back on a $1000 bet.... Phone Post 3.0
