There are only 2 2800 rated players, Carlsen and Caruana. All you have to do is search for their results since they became rated over 2800. I'll bet one of the two has even lost to a 2600.

Here is an article in the spirit of what you were asking:

Disregarding simuls and quickplay, I've found this game :



MSC157

Kssparov, Topalov, Kramnik & Aronian could also take part in it although only GK stayed there for a really really long time

CP6033

43. Be7!!! wow....that's insane! (MSC157-GK and MC)

CP6033

Carlsen lost to Ivan Saric in the 2014 olypiad, he's high 2600 though.
