How this list is made

Ranked on bouts: the number of UFC bouts fought. Fighters are ranked on that number alone and on nothing else. Where two are level they share a rank, and the list runs past fifty when fiftieth place is shared, because splitting a tie would mean choosing between them on no stated basis.

These are UFC bouts and nothing else. A fighter’s record in other promotions is not counted, so someone with a long career elsewhere can appear here with a short one. This is not a career record and does not claim to be.

312 bout records carry no usable result and are counted in nothing — not as a win, a loss or a bout. A bout record is one fighter’s side of one fight, so a fight between two fighters who each have a page here appears as two of them.

Bout results from the UFC event articles on Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 4.0, and fighter identities from Wikidata (public domain).
