Khabib Nurmagomedov

Khabib Nurmagomedov retired undefeated at 29-0, the longest perfect record in UFC history, with a 100% takedown accuracy in title fights—a feat 30% better than the runner-up in lightweight. His submission victory over Conor McGregor at UFC 229 in 2018 drew 2.4 million pay-per-view buys, and he outperforms #3 Anderson Silva in career win percentage with a 100% rate. Khabib’s 12 championship rounds without losing a single frame set a category benchmark for grappling dominance.
