Francis Ngannou has now gone 22 consecutive professional MMA fights without being knocked down or finished, the longest active streak among heavyweights in major promotions. This streak has lasted throughout his entire heavyweight career since his debut. Following Ngannou on this list are Waldo Cortes-Acosta with 20 fights, Rizvan Kuniev with 18, and Walter Walker with 15. The post reflects on how many title fights and accolades Ngannou missed by leaving the UFC at age 35 with a 12-2 record, comparing him favorably to Stipe Miocic who had nine title fights after reaching the same career point. Ngannou's recent victory came via a combination of left hook, right uppercut, and left hook against Ferreira, who entered on a four-fight UFC winning streak.
