    Off the top of my head, Andrei Arlovsky was KO'd in Russia in his first fight.


    Masukatsu Funaki lost to Ken Shamrock, but later avenged the defeat.

    Jon Fitch choked out by Mike Pyle in his first fight.

    Didn't Sakuraba lose his first fight?

    I know Forrest Griffin lost his first fight to Dan Severn.

    And he is far from a legend, but one of my favorites who did fight for a UFC title, Vernon White, lost his first fight.

    also Zaromskis got ko'd in his debut. Not a great fighter, but a pretty good one.
