Khamzat Chimaev's perfect professional record came to an end on May 9 at UFC 328, where the middleweight contender dropped a split decision to champion Sean Strickland, moving to 15-1 for the first time in his career.
Chimaev, 32, had entered the fight as the number-one ranked middleweight and the tenth-best pound-for-pound fighter on the roster, representing one of the most high-profile unbeaten records in the sport. The UAE-based fighter out of Allstars Training Center carries a physically imposing frame at six-foot-two with a 75-inch reach, and his statistical profile leans heavily on his wrestling — he averages 5.29 takedowns per 15 minutes and 1.8 submission attempts per 15 minutes, complemented by a striking accuracy of 60 percent.
Strickland, the reigning middleweight champion, improves to 31-7 with the victory. The 35-year-old American out of Xtreme Couture is known for his relentless output, averaging 6.04 significant strikes per minute, and brings a 76-inch reach into every fight at a height of six-foot-one.
Also at UFC 328, Baysangur Susurkaev extended his undefeated run to 12-0 with a submission victory, and Alikhan Musaev entered the tracked rankings at 11-0.
Why it matters
- Chimaev's loss reshapes the middleweight title picture, with the division's top-ranked contender now carrying his first professional defeat
- Strickland adds a high-profile scalp to his resume, defeating a fighter who was widely regarded as one of the last elite unbeaten prospects in major MMA promotions
- Other fighters on the active undefeated list — including Movsar Evloev at 20-0 and Usman Nurmagomedov at 21-0-1NC — now stand as the most prominent remaining unblemished records in the sport
- Evloev, the number-one ranked featherweight at 32, averages 4.78 takedowns per 15 minutes and has not yet been defeated across 20 professional outings
