An updated ranking of unbeaten active fighters with more than ten wins competing in major promotions shows Movlid Khaibulaev leading at 24-0-1-1NC, followed by Usman Nurmagomedov at 21-0-1NC and Movsar Evloev at 20-0. Murtazali Magomedov is a new entry at 11-0 after submitting Melsik Bagdasaryan with a twister in round one at UFC Vegas 119. Andre Lima dropped off the list after suffering his first professional loss, a unanimous decision defeat to Kevin Bordhaz at the same event.
A fresh look at the unbeaten active fighters with ten or more wins across major promotions places Movlid Khaibulaev at the top of the list at 24-0-1 with one no-contest, ahead of Usman Nurmagomedov at 21-0 with one no-contest. Movsar Evloev holds third at a perfect 20-0, while Murtazali Magomedov enters the rankings for the first time following a debut submission win at UFC Vegas 119.
Evloev, the 32-year-old Russian featherweight ranked number one in his division, remains one of the most complete unbeaten fighters in the sport. Fighting out of American Top Team, he stands five-foot-seven with a 72-inch reach and blends a heavy wrestling game — averaging 4.78 takedowns per fifteen minutes — with a consistent striking output of 3.91 significant strikes per minute.
Magomedov's entry into the list came in dramatic fashion. The previously unranked fighter submitted Melsik Bagdasaryan with a twister in the first round at UFC Vegas 119, a rare finishing technique that pushed his record to 11-0 and earned him a spot among the sport's unbeaten names.
The same event reshaped the list in another direction. Andre Lima, known as Mascote, suffered his first professional defeat, a unanimous decision loss to Kevin Bordhaz, dropping him to 11-1. The 27-year-old Brazilian had been a consistent presence on similar rankings, landing 3.94 significant strikes per minute at 56 percent accuracy, but the loss to Bordhaz ends his run among the undefeated.
Why it matters
- Evloev at 20-0 and ranked first at featherweight positions him as the division's clearest title challenger
- Magomedov's twister finish signals an immediate presence at UFC level and earns him unbeaten status at 11-0
- Lima's removal from the list after his first loss to Bordhaz reflects how quickly standing in these rankings can shift on a single fight night
