An updated list of active undefeated fighters with over 10 wins in major promotions has been published following UFC 328, where Khamzat Chimaev lost his unbeaten record. Chimaev, previously 15-0, suffered a split decision loss to Sean Strickland, removing him from the undefeated list. The comprehensive list includes fighters like Movlid Khaybulaev (24-0-1-1NC), Usman Nurmagomedov (21-0-1NC), Movsar Evloev (20-0), and Ilia Topuria (17-0) among many others. The list tracks fighters who haven't competed in over two years or retired, using records from Tapology and Sherdog. New additions include Alikhan Musaev (11-0) and Baysangur Susurkiev moved up to 12-0 after his submission victory at UFC 328.
Khamzat Chimaev's perfect professional record came to an end at UFC 328 on May 9, 2026, when middleweight champion Sean Strickland handed him a split decision defeat. The loss dropped Chimaev from 15-0 to 15-1 and removed him from the ranks of active unbeaten fighters with more than ten wins in major promotions.
Strickland, now 31-7, continues to hold the middleweight title at 35 years old. Fighting out of Xtreme Couture, the American is one of the most active strikers in the sport, averaging 6.04 significant strikes per minute, and he brought that relentless output to bear against Chimaev on Saturday night.
With Chimaev's streak gone, an updated rundown of notable undefeated fighters highlights who remains on the list. Movlid Khaybulaev leads the group at 24-0-1 with one no-contest, followed by Bellator lightweight champion Usman Nurmagomedov at 21-0-1 NC and Movsar Evloev at a perfect 20-0. Shavkat Rakhmonov, ranked third at welterweight, remains unbeaten at 19-0 for Kazakhstan's DAR Team, averaging 3.25 significant strikes per minute with a 60 percent striking accuracy. Ilia Topuria, however, no longer appears on the undefeated list; the verified database shows the Spanish lightweight ranked second in his division and first in the pound-for-pound rankings carries a 17-1 record.
Two fighters were added to the list following UFC 328. Alikhan Musaev enters at 11-0, while Baysangur Susurkiev climbed to 12-0 after earning a submission victory on the card.
Why it matters
- Chimaev's loss reshapes the middleweight picture and removes the most high-profile name from the undefeated rankings
- Strickland's title defense reinforces his standing as one of the division's elite volume strikers
- Rakhmonov at 19-0 now stands as one of the most prominent unbeaten fighters remaining in a major promotion
- New entrants Musaev and Susurkiev signal fresh undefeated talent emerging through the UFC roster
