Murtazali Magomedov has been added to the rankings of active unbeaten fighters with more than ten wins competing in major promotions after improving to 11-0 with a first-round twister submission of Melsik Baghdasaryan at UFC Vegas 119. Andre Lima dropped off the list after suffering his first career loss, a unanimous decision defeat to Kevin Borjas at the same event.
Murtazali Magomedov has earned a place among the top unbeaten prospects in major MMA promotions, joining that list at 11-0 following a first-round twister submission of Melsik Baghdasaryan at UFC Vegas 119. The finish marked a striking debut for the Dagestani fighter on the sport's biggest stage. At the same event, Andre Lima fell off the unbeaten prospect list after suffering his first career defeat, a unanimous decision loss to Kevin Borjas.
Borjas, a 28-year-old Peruvian fighting out of Pitbull Martial Arts Center, improved to 11-5 with the victory. Standing five-foot-five with a 68-inch reach, he averages 3.87 significant strikes landed per minute and relied entirely on his striking to secure the decision, recording no takedown attempts in his UFC appearances.
The unbeaten list itself remains headlined by established names. Shavkat Rakhmonov, the 31-year-old Kazakhstani welterweight ranked third in his division, carries a perfect 19-0 record and operates out of DAR Team. The six-foot-four striker posts a 60 percent striking accuracy rate and lands 3.25 significant strikes per minute, supplemented by 1.4 takedowns per 15 minutes. Muhammad Mokaev, England's 25-year-old flyweight known as The Punisher, sits at 13-0 competing with KHK MMA. At five-foot-seven with a 70-inch reach, Mokaev is one of the division's most relentless grapplers, averaging an exceptional 5.29 takedowns per 15 minutes.
Why it matters
- Magomedov's twister finish signals elite grappling potential and puts him immediately on the radar of UFC matchmakers
- Lima's removal from the list after Borjas's decision win reshapes the unbeaten prospect landscape at his weight class
- Rakhmonov and Mokaev remain the headline names on the list, offering a benchmark for how far Magomedov must travel to reach true contender status
