The regularly updated list of active undefeated fighters with more than 10 victories competing in major promotions has been revised following UFC 328. Khamzat Chimaev, who previously held a 15-0 record, has been removed from the undefeated roster after suffering a split decision loss to Sean Strickland. The list now shows Chimaev's record as 15-1. The comprehensive ranking includes fighters from various promotions including UFC, Bellator, PFL, and other major organizations. Movlid Khaybulaev leads the list with a 24-0-1-1NC record, followed by Usman Nurmagomedov at 21-0-1NC. Notable UFC fighters remaining undefeated include Ilia Topuria (17-0), Shavkat Rakhmonov (19-0), and Movsar Evloev (20-0). The list is compiled using records from Tapology and verified against Sherdog, excluding fighters who have been inactive for more than two years or have announced retirement.
The undefeated fighters tracker maintained for major MMA promotions has been updated following UFC 328 on May 9, 2026, with Khamzat Chimaev removed from the roster after dropping a split decision to Sean Strickland.
Chimaev, known as "Borz," entered the bout as the UFC middleweight division's top-ranked contender and the number-ten fighter in the pound-for-pound rankings. The 32-year-old fighter representing the UAE and training out of Allstars Training Center had built a flawless 15-0 record and was widely regarded as one of the sport's most dominant active fighters. Standing six-foot-two with a 75-inch reach, Chimaev has posted remarkable career averages of 5.29 takedowns per 15 minutes and a 60 percent striking accuracy, underlining the all-around threat he presented heading into the contest.
Strickland, the reigning UFC 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 at six-foot-one with a 76-inch reach. A high-volume pressure striker, "Tarzan" lands 6.04 significant strikes per minute — a rate that places him among the busiest fighters in the division — while connecting at 42 percent accuracy.
Why it matters
- Chimaev's first professional loss ends one of the most closely watched undefeated runs in recent UFC history and reshapes the middleweight title picture.
- Strickland's successful defense reinforces his position atop the 185-pound division and adds a signature win over the division's top-ranked contender to his resume.
- The updated undefeated list still features notable UFC names, with Ilia Topuria at 17-0, Shavkat Rakhmonov at 19-0, and Movsar Evloev at 20-0 carrying the banner for active unblemished records in the promotion.
- Movlid Khaybulaev (24-0-1-1NC) and Usman Nurmagomedov (21-0-1NC) continue to lead the broader cross-promotional list ahead of their UFC counterparts.
