The 58 fighters with the most title-bout wins in the UFC

Every fighter on this list is ranked on one number: bouts won that the event article records as being for a championship. Nothing else is weighed, and the figures each ranking rests on are in the table. These are UFC bouts only.

How this list is made

Ranked on title-bout wins: bouts won that the event article records as being for a championship. 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.

A title bout is one the event article says is for a championship, either in so many words or by marking a fighter as the holder. Interim titles count, because the articles describe them the same way. A bout whose article says neither thing is not counted, so a reign recorded loosely on Wikipedia will be short here.

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.
