An updated ranking of active undefeated fighters with over 10 wins competing in major promotions shows Movlid Khaybulaev at the top with a 24-0-1-1NC record. Other notable undefeated fighters include Usman Nurmagomedov (21-0-1NC), Movsar Evloev (20-0), Shavkat Rakhmonov (19-0), and Ilia Topuria (17-0). Recent changes to the list include Rajabalee Shaydullaev improving to 18-0 with a TKO victory over Yuta Kubo at RIZIN LANDMARK 13, while Azamat Murzakanov lost his unbeaten status after being knocked out by Paulo Costa at UFC 327. The list only includes fighters who have competed within the last two years and have not retired, with records verified through both Tapology and Sherdog.
An updated list of active undefeated fighters competing in major promotions, published April 12, places Movlid Khaybulaev at the summit with a 24-0-1-1NC record, ahead of a group of other high-profile unbeatens across multiple organizations.
Khaybulaev leads the standings, followed by Usman Nurmagomedov at 21-0-1NC, Movsar Evloev at 20-0, Shavkat Rakhmonov at 19-0, and Ilia Topuria at 17-0. The list is restricted to fighters active within the last two years who have not retired, with records cross-referenced through Tapology and Sherdog.
Rakhmonov, the third-ranked welterweight from Kazakhstan, carries a perfect 19-0 mark into his continued push toward the division title. Fighting out of DAR Team at 31 years old, the six-foot-four orthodox striker lands 3.25 significant strikes per minute at a 60 percent accuracy rate and adds a steady ground threat, averaging 1.4 takedowns and 1.2 submission attempts per 15 minutes.
Topuria, the second-ranked lightweight and the pound-for-pound number-one fighter in the sport, holds a 17-1 record and is 29 years old. The Spain-based Georgian lands 4.81 significant strikes per minute and contributes on the mat with 1.96 takedowns per 15 minutes.
The list also saw notable movement around UFC 327. Azamat Murzakanov dropped off entirely after being knocked out by Paulo Costa on April 11. Costa, the 35-year-old Brazilian middleweight ranked 13th, is one of the most active strikers in the division, landing 6.26 significant strikes per minute at 58 percent accuracy. Separately, Rajabalee Shaydullaev strengthened his standing by improving to 18-0 with a TKO over Yuta Kubo at RIZIN LANDMARK 13.
Why it matters
- Rakhmonov sits one spot outside the welterweight title picture at number three, meaning his unbeaten record carries genuine divisional weight
- Topuria's pound-for-pound ranking alongside a 17-1 record keeps him among the most scrutinized fighters in the sport
- Murzakanov's KO loss to Costa at UFC 327 is the most recent reminder of how quickly unbeaten streaks can end at the highest level
