Murtazali Magomedov joined the list of undefeated fighters with ten or more wins competing in major promotions after moving to 11-0 with a first-round twister submission of Melsik Bagdasaryan at UFC Vegas 119. Andre Lima exited the list after suffering the first defeat of his professional career, a unanimous decision loss to Kevin Borjas at the same event. The updated rankings also include Movlid Khaybulaev at 24-0-1, Usman Nurmagomedov at 21-0, and Shavkat Rakhmonov at 19-0 among the top unbeaten fighters in the sport.
Murtazali Magomedov joined the UFC's elite group of unbeaten fighters with double-digit wins on Saturday at UFC Vegas 119, submitting Melsik Bagdasaryan with a first-round twister to move to 11-0. The same card saw Andre Lima suffer the first loss of his professional career, falling to a unanimous decision defeat against Kevin Borjas.
Magomedov's finish elevated him onto the list of undefeated fighters boasting ten or more wins competing in major promotions. That group now includes some of the sport's most closely watched names: Movlid Khaybulaev at 24-0-1, Usman Nurmagomedov at 21-0, and welterweight contender Shavkat Rakhmonov at 19-0. Rakhmonov, ranked third at welterweight, is 31 years old and fights out of Kazakhstan for DAR Team. The six-foot-four orthodox striker carries a 77-inch reach and lands 3.25 significant strikes per minute at a 60 percent accuracy rate, supplementing his stand-up game with 1.4 takedowns and 1.2 submission attempts per 15 minutes.
Lima, fighting out of Brazil under Team Lucas Mineiro, now stands at 11-1 after Borjas handed him his first professional defeat. The 27-year-old was active on the feet, averaging 3.94 significant strikes per minute at 56 percent accuracy, and showed ground threat with roughly one takedown and 0.9 submission attempts per 15 minutes. Borjas, the 28-year-old Peruvian representing Pitbull Martial Arts Center, improved to 11-5 with the decision win. Fighting at five-foot-five with a 68-inch reach, Borjas produces 3.87 significant strikes per minute and relies almost entirely on his striking, recording no takedown attempts in the database.
Why it matters
- Magomedov's unbeaten record at 11-0 positions him as a rising name on the UFC's list of unblemished prospects to watch.
- Lima's perfect record is gone at 27, an early setback that recalibrates expectations for his divisional trajectory.
- Rakhmonov, Nurmagomedov, and Khaybulaev remain the benchmark names among undefeated fighters with significant UFC tenure.
