The updated rankings of unbeaten active fighters competing in the world's top promotions show Movlid Khaybulaev 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, while Andre Lima dropped off the list after suffering his first career loss to Kevin Borjas at the same event.
Three fighters sit atop the updated list of unbeaten active competitors with ten or more wins across the world's premier MMA promotions, with one notable new entry and one departure following the action at UFC Vegas 119.
Movlid Khaybulaev leads the rankings at 24-0-1 with one no-contest, ahead of Usman Nurmagomedov at 21-0 with one no-contest. Movsar Evloev sits third at 20-0, ranked number one in the UFC featherweight division. The 32-year-old Russian, who trains out of American Top Team, is one of the most active grapplers in the weight class, averaging 4.78 takedowns per fifteen minutes. He also lands 3.91 significant strikes per minute, making him a genuine two-way threat at 145 pounds.
Murtazali Magomedov is the list's most significant new addition, entering at 11-0 after finishing Melsik Bagdasaryan with a twister submission in round one at UFC Vegas 119. The rare finishing method underlined his credentials as a legitimate prospect in the promotion.
Andre Lima fell off the list entirely after absorbing his first professional defeat at that same event, losing to Kevin Borjas. The 28-year-old Peruvian, now 11-5, fights out of Pitbull Martial Arts Center and averages 3.87 significant strikes per minute, giving him enough output to trouble opponents on the feet.
Why it matters
- Evloev's top-five featherweight ranking means his unbeaten record carries genuine divisional weight, with a title shot potentially in reach.
- Magomedov's dramatic entry highlights the depth of unbeaten talent emerging through the UFC's roster.
- Lima's exit is a reminder of how fragile long unbeaten runs can be at the highest level of the sport.
