Murtazali Magomedov cemented his place among MMA's elite unbeaten fighters on June 21 at UFC Vegas 119, submitting Melsik Bagdasaryan with a rare twister at just 1:17 of the opening round to push his professional record to a perfect 11-0.
The finish was one of the more spectacular endings on the card, and it earned Magomedov a spot on the updated list of active unbeaten fighters with more than ten wins competing in major promotions. The same event also reshuffled that list, as Andre Lima suffered a unanimous decision loss to Kevin Bordhaz to fall to 11-1. The 27-year-old Brazilian, who fights out of Team Lucas Mineiro, averaged 3.94 significant strikes per minute with 56 percent accuracy during his unbeaten run, and carried a six-foot-seven reach — 170 cm — into each outing.
Why it matters
- The updated unbeaten roster reflects a crowded field of prospects and contenders carrying flawless records deep into their careers.
- Welterweight contender Shavkat Rakhmonov, 31, of Kazakhstan, sits at 19-0 and is ranked third in the division. Standing six-foot-four with a 77-inch reach, he lands 3.25 significant strikes per minute at an exceptional 60 percent accuracy.
- Fellow welterweight Michael Morales of Ecuador, ranked second in the division at 19-0, is just 27 years old and produces a striking volume of 5.62 significant strikes per minute, the highest output among the fighters on the list. He fights out of Entram Gym and carries a 79-inch reach.
- Other names on the roster include Movlid Khaybulaev at 24-0-1, Usman Nurmagomedov at 21-0, and Movsar Evloev at 20-0, illustrating how several divisions now feature multiple fighters who have never tasted defeat across significant stretches of their careers.
