If Ronny Markes wins Wednesday night's fight against Yoel Romero by decision, he will become only the second person to win his first four UFC fights by decision.

Only former UFC lightweight champion Benson Henderson has won more than his first three UFC fights by decision. He needed the judges to get his hand raised in each of his first seven UFC fights.

Of the eight fighters who began their Octagon careers with at least three decisions, three of them went on to become UFC champions. In addition to Henderson, Rashad Evans and Lyoto Machida also went on to wear UFC gold around their waists.
