The list of active undefeated fighters with 10+ wins in major promotions has been updated following UFC 328. Hamzat Chimaev, who held a 15-0 record, suffered his first career loss via split decision to Sean Strickland at UFC 328. The comprehensive list tracks fighters who haven't competed in over two years or retired, with records verified through Tapology and Sherdog. Chimaev's loss removes him from the elite group of undefeated fighters competing in top organizations. Other notable changes include Baisangur Susurkaev improving to 12-0 with a submission victory at UFC 328, and Alikhan Musaev joining the list at 11-0 after a decision win at ACA 203.
Sean Strickland handed Hamzat Chimaev his first professional loss via split decision at UFC 328 on May 9, 2026, ending one of the most closely watched undefeated runs in recent MMA history.
Chimaev had entered the fight at 15-0, a record that kept him firmly among an elite group of unbeaten fighters active in major promotions. The split decision result removes him from that conversation entirely, marking a significant turning point in his career.
Strickland, the reigning middleweight champion, improved to 31-7 with the victory. The 35-year-old American trains out of Xtreme Couture and fights out of an orthodox stance, standing six-foot-one with a 76-inch reach. He is one of the most active strikers in the division, landing 6.04 significant strikes per minute while mixing in takedown attempts at a rate of 0.71 per 15 minutes. His output and pressure style have defined his rise to the championship level.
Elsewhere at UFC 328, Baisangur Susurkaev extended his unbeaten record to 12-0 with a submission victory. The 25-year-old orthodox fighter stands six-foot-two with a 79-inch reach and brings a well-rounded game, landing 4.56 significant strikes per minute at a 59 percent accuracy rate while also averaging 2.76 takedowns per 15 minutes. His combination of striking precision and grappling output continues to make him one of the more compelling undefeated prospects in the sport.
In a separate result, Alikhan Musaev moved to 11-0 following a decision win at ACA 203, joining the updated rankings of active undefeated fighters with ten or more wins across major organizations.
