An updated list of undefeated fighters with over 10 wins in major promotions now shows Khamzat Chimaev with a loss.

The comprehensive list tracks active fighters who haven't competed in over two years and haven't retired, with records verified on both Tapology and Sherdog. Other notable undefeated fighters on the list include Movlid Khaybulaev (24-0-1-1NC), Usman Nurmagomedov (21-0-1NC), Movsar Evloev (20-0), and Ilia Topuria (17-0).

Khamzat Chimaev's perfect professional record came to an end on May 9 at UFC 328, where middleweight champion Sean Strickland handed him a split decision defeat, dropping Chimaev to 15-1 for the first time in his career.
Chimaev, 32, had been one of the most talked-about undefeated prospects in MMA. Fighting out of Allstars Training Center and representing the United Arab Emirates, the six-foot-two middleweight entered the contest ranked first in the division and tenth pound-for-pound. His statistical profile reflected an overwhelming style — 5.29 takedowns per 15 minutes and a striking accuracy of 60 percent made him one of the most efficient fighters on the roster.
Strickland, 35, defended his middleweight title with the victory, improving to 31-7. The American fighter from Xtreme Couture is known for relentless forward pressure, averaging 6.04 significant strikes landed per minute with a 76-inch reach that helps him control range from his orthodox stance.
Why it matters
- Chimaev's loss ends one of MMA's most closely watched undefeated streaks and reshuffles the middleweight division's top contender picture
- Strickland retains the middleweight title and further cements his standing among the division's elite
- The result removes Chimaev from the list of active fighters with ten or more wins and no losses across major promotions
Elsewhere at UFC 328, Baysangur Susurkayev extended his own unbeaten run to 12-0 with a submission victory, while Alikhan Musaev entered the tracking list at 11-0. Other fighters remaining on the undefeated list with notable records include Movlid Khaybulaev at 24-0-1 with one no-contest, Usman Nurmagomedov at 21-0 with one no-contest, Movsar Evloev at 20-0, and Ilia Topuria at 17-0.
