The Hit List: Undefeated Fighters in the UFC

Umar Nurmagomedov negotiated all the traffic and made his way to the front of the line.

The American Kickboxing Academy rep—one of 30 undefeated competitors on the Ultimate Fighting Championship roster with at least one victory inside the promotion—will challenge Merab Dvalishvili for the undisputed bantamweight crown in the UFC 311 co-main event on Jan. 18 at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California. Nurmagomedov heads into the match with a perfect 18-0 record. He last suited up at UFC on ABC 7, where he laid claim to a five-round unanimous decision over Cory Sandhagen on Aug. 3.
