Murtazali Magomedov improved to 11-0 after submitting Melsik Bagdasaryan with a twister at 1:17 of the first round at UFC Vegas 119, earning a spot on the updated list of unbeaten active fighters with more than ten wins competing in major promotions. Andre Lima dropped off the list, falling to 11-1 after a unanimous decision loss to Kevin Bordasch at the same event. Other notable unbeaten fighters on the list include Usman Nurmagomedov (21-0), Movsar Evloev (20-0), Michael Morales (19-0), and Shavkat Rakhmonov (19-0).
Murtazali Magomedov cemented his place among the top unbeaten fighters in major MMA promotions by submitting Melsik Bagdasaryan with a twister at just 1:17 of the first round at UFC Vegas 119, pushing his professional record to a perfect 11-0.
The finish was a highlight-reel moment, with the twister — one of the rarest submissions in professional MMA — earning Magomedov entry onto the updated list of active unbeaten fighters with more than ten wins competing in major promotions.
The same event brought a change to that list on the other side of the ledger. Brazilian fighter Andre Lima, known as "Mascote," fell to 11-1 after suffering a unanimous decision loss to Kevin Bordasch. The 27-year-old from Brazil had carried genuine momentum into the fight, averaging 3.94 significant strikes per minute with 56 percent accuracy across his career, along with solid takedown and submission output.
Why it matters
- Magomedov's twister finish raises his profile as one of the most technically dangerous unbeaten fighters in the sport
- Lima's first career loss ends a streak that had placed him among a select group of prospects with unblemished double-digit records
- The updated unbeaten list now features several fighters with genuine title aspirations, headlined by Usman Nurmagomedov at 21-0, Movsar Evloev at 20-0 and ranked first in the featherweight division, and both Michael Morales and Shavkat Rakhmonov at 19-0
Evloev, 32, fights out of American Top Team and averages a remarkable 4.78 takedowns per 15 minutes, while Rakhmonov — ranked third in the welterweight division at 31 years old — combines 60 percent striking accuracy with 1.2 submission attempts per 15 minutes, making the Kazakhstani known as "Nomad" one of the most complete unbeaten competitors on the planet. His six-foot-four frame and 77-inch reach only add to that threat.
