Khamzat Chimaev's perfect record came to an end at UFC 328 on May 9, 2026, when he dropped a split decision to Sean Strickland, falling to 15-1 and prompting an updated look at which fighters across major promotions still carry unblemished records with ten or more wins.
Chimaev had entered the fight at 15-0, one of the most closely watched undefeated records in the sport. Strickland, the middleweight champion competing out of Xtreme Couture, improved to 31-7 with the victory. The 35-year-old American is a relentless volume striker, averaging 6.04 significant strikes per minute, and the decision win further cements his standing atop the 185-pound division.
With Chimaev removed, the updated list is topped by Movlid Khaybulaev at 24-0-1-1NC, followed by Usman Nurmagomedov at 21-0-1NC. Movsar Evloev sits at 20-0, while Shavkat Rakhmonov remains unbeaten at 19-0. The 31-year-old Kazakhstani welterweight, ranked third in his division, brings a dangerous all-around game — landing strikes at 60 percent accuracy while also averaging 1.4 takedowns and 1.2 submission attempts per 15 minutes. Ilia Topuria appears on the list at 17-0 according to the summary, though the verified database reflects a current record of 17-1 for the 29-year-old Spaniard, who is ranked second at lightweight and first in the pound-for-pound standings. Muhammad Mokaev rounds out the upper tier at 16-0-1NC.
Two fighters join the list as new entries. Alihan Musaev debuts at 11-0, and Baysangur Susurkaev moved to 12-0 following his victory at UFC 328.
