All Women: Most UFC Wins Leaderboard

Jessica Andrade currently holds the top spot for most UFC wins among all women fighters, a testament to her enduring presence and consistent performance in the octagon. This list measures the total number of victories a fighter has accumulated in their UFC career, providing insight into their longevity and effectiveness within the organization. The data includes 272 qualified fighters, with individuals grouped by their current weight class. It is important to note that career total statistics like this naturally favor fighters who have competed for a longer duration in the UFC.

The Top Contenders

Leading the pack is Jessica Andrade with an impressive 17 wins. Her UFC record stands at 17-13 across 30 UFC fights, indicating a career marked by frequent activity and a willingness to face a wide range of opponents. Andrade, who last fought on August 16, 2025, at age 35, has consistently been a fixture in multiple divisions, demonstrating both durability and a high-volume fighting style that has allowed her to accumulate more victories than any other woman in the UFC.

In second place is Amanda Nunes, with 16 wins. Nunes achieved these victories in a remarkably efficient 18 UFC fights, holding a dominant UFC record of 16-2. Her career, while featuring fewer total bouts than Andrade's, showcases a higher win percentage, reflecting a period of significant championship reign and dominance. Nunes last competed on June 10, 2023, and is booked to fight Kayla Harrison on November 14, 2026, at age 38, indicating a planned return to active competition.

Closely following is Valentina Shevchenko, who has secured 15 wins. Like Nunes, Shevchenko has achieved her wins with high efficiency, boasting a 15-3 UFC record over 18 fights. Her consistent performance and long tenure at the top of her division are evident in these numbers. Shevchenko last fought on November 15, 2025, at age 39, continuing to add to her legacy.

Sharing the fourth and fifth spots with 14 wins each are Gillian Robertson and Angela Hill. Robertson, at age 32, has compiled her 14 wins across 21 UFC fights, holding a 14-7 record. Her last fight was on August 15, 2026, suggesting an active career with potential for more additions to her win tally. Angela Hill, at age 42, also has 14 wins, but achieved them over a significant 30 UFC fights, matching Andrade's total fight count. Her UFC record stands at 14-16. Hill’s profile is particularly notable, as her high number of wins despite a negative overall record underscores extreme longevity and a consistent willingness to compete against top-tier opposition over many years, last fighting on May 30, 2026.

The Rest of the Top 10

The remainder of the top 10 features several familiar names who have consistently performed over extended periods. Raquel Pennington sits at 13 wins, with a 13-6 record over 19 UFC fights, last competing on October 5, 2024, at age 38. A cluster of fighters follows with 12 wins: Rose Namajunas (12-7 record in 19 fights, last fought January 24, 2026, age 34), Mackenzie Dern (12-5 record in 17 fights, last fought August 15, 2026, age 34), and Katlyn Cerminara (12-6 record in 18 fights, last fought October 17, 2026, age 38). Rounding out the top 10 is JJ Aldrich with 11 wins, holding an 11-7 record over 18 UFC fights, last seen in the octagon on September 12, 2026, at age 34.

Conor McGregor Declares Next UFC Bout His Last, Challenges Canelo Alvarez Sales

Conor McGregor has announced that his next appearance in the Ultimate Fighting Championship octagon will mark his final professional fight. The former two-division champion also made comments comparing the potential sales of his farewell bout to those of boxing star Canelo Alvarez, asserting his own drawing power in combat sports.

McGregor took to social media, specifically X, to question the commercial metrics of Alvarez’s recent fight, which saw the Mexican boxer reclaim the WBC super middleweight title against Christian Mbilli. According to reports, McGregor wrote, “How many views did the Canelo fight get? How many in attendance? Gate? Man I outdo ALL of these people in sales. Majorly. EVERY SINGLE ONE. With ease. Maybe even combined. I don't even be trying.” He further indicated his intention to actively promote his final fight to generate record-breaking numbers, stating, “I'm going to actually try to sell the fight for my next one. My final fight. See what numbers I can generate. Keep outdoing my own records.”

McGregor's Recent Octagon History

This announcement follows a period of inactivity and a series of challenging bouts for McGregor. His last fight, UFC 329 on July 11, 2026, saw him face Max Holloway in a welterweight rematch, which he lost by KO/TKO in the first round at one minute and nine seconds. At the time of that fight, McGregor was 37 years old. The pre-fight market had placed his chances of winning against Holloway at 28%.

McGregor’s UFC record stands at 10-5-0 across 15 UFC fights. His recent history in the octagon includes three consecutive losses prior to the Holloway rematch. Before the loss to Holloway, he suffered back-to-back KO/TKO defeats to Dustin Poirier in July 2021 at UFC 264 and in January 2021 at UFC 257, both in the lightweight division. His last victory came in January 2020 at UFC 246, where he defeated Donald Cerrone by KO/TKO punches in 40 seconds of the first round, also at welterweight. Before that, he lost to Khabib Nurmagomedov by submission via rear naked choke in the fourth round of their lightweight title bout at UFC 229 in October 2018.

Currently, no opponent or date has been booked for McGregor's next UFC fight, which he has stated will be his last. His current UFC Elo rating after his last fight is 1117. Throughout his UFC career, he has averaged 0.4 takedowns per fight with a 36% accuracy, while maintaining a takedown defense rate of 60%.

McGregor's declaration sets the stage for what he intends to be a commercially significant conclusion to his professional MMA career, with a focus on surpassing previous sales records.

Miragliotta's Stand-Up Sparks Outcry in Moicano-Nolan Bout

The main event of UFC Vegas 123 on October thirty-first, two thousand twenty-six, saw Tom Nolan defeat Renato Moicano by TKO, but the victory was overshadowed by a controversial stand-up call from referee Dan Miragliotta. The decision, which occurred late in the second round, drew immediate criticism from many within the mixed martial arts community.

The Controversial Call

During the second round of the lightweight bout, Renato Moicano, a veteran with a UFC record of 13-8-0, had secured a dominant position on Tom Nolan, maintaining back control with a body triangle and actively seeking a rear-naked choke. Despite Moicano's control, referee Dan Miragliotta intervened, standing the fighters up. Moments after the restart, Nolan landed a significant knee strike that visibly hurt Moicano, nearly ending the fight before the second round concluded. Nolan, who was twenty-six years old at the time of the fight, ultimately finished the thirty-seven-year-old Moicano with elbows and punches via TKO at one minute and twenty-eight seconds of the third round.

Fighter Reactions

Following the fight, Renato Moicano addressed his performance but notably refrained from blaming the referee for the controversial stand-up. According to MMA Mania, Moicano refused to 'start a war' over the call. Instead, he congratulated Tom Nolan, acknowledging him as a 'beast,' and offered a candid assessment of his own showing. Moicano stated on social media that he had a 'terrible performance,' despite being well-trained, and admitted he couldn't inflict damage from back control because Nolan defended effectively.

Tom Nolan, for his part, clarified his interaction with the referee prior to the stand-up. Nolan stated to MMA Junkie that he was not requesting a stand-up, but rather was alerting Miragliotta to illegal punches to the back of his head from Moicano. Nolan expressed that he was comfortable with potentially losing the round on the ground and had no influence on the referee's decision to separate them, simply following instructions. He issued a statement, as reported by Yahoo Sports, emphasizing that his role is to fight, and he can only control his own actions, not those of the referee.

Analyst and Broadcast Team Commentary

The decision by Dan Miragliotta drew widespread condemnation from analysts and the broadcast team. Former two-division UFC champion Daniel Cormier was particularly vocal, stating, “I just don't think a ref should take anybody out of mount, ever. Should never take anybody off the back like that. I just don't think you take those type of positions and change it. They're just too dominant.” Other analysts and fighters echoed similar sentiments, with MMA Fighting's live blog calling the stand-up a 'travesty' and 'unacceptable reffing.' Lightweight fighter Joe Solecki went further, calling for an investigation into Miragliotta's performance and suggesting he should lose his job, arguing that back control with a body triangle should not be broken.

Context from Fighter Data

The bout at UFC Vegas 123 pitted two ranked lightweights against each other, with Moicano holding the #12 ranking and Nolan at #14. Before this fight, Moicano had a UFC win streak of one, having secured a submission victory over Chris Duncan in April two thousand twenty-six. His overall UFC record stood at 13-8-0. The pre-fight market had Moicano favored to win at fifty-three percent. Nolan entered the fight on a five-fight UFC win streak, with his most recent victory being a unanimous decision over Fares Ziam in June two thousand twenty-six. His UFC record improved to 6-1-0 with the TKO win over Moicano. Neither fighter currently has a next booked UFC fight on the schedule.

Tom Nolan Claims Main Event Victory Over Renato Moicano

The stoppage came at one minute and twenty-eight seconds of the round, marking a significant step forward for Nolan in the lightweight division.

In what was announced as his final professional bout, Julian Erosa (9-9-0 before the fight) pulled off the biggest upset of the night, knocking out JeongYeong Lee (2-2-0 before the fight) in the featherweight division. Lee entered the bout as a heavy 78% betting favorite, making Erosa a considerable 3.4-to-1 underdog. The fight, which lasted just one minute and thirty-one seconds into the first round, saw Erosa initially stunned by a powerful overhand right from Lee. However, "Juicy J" quickly recovered and delivered a "humongous right hand" that sent Lee crashing to the canvas, followed by a few decisive follow-up shots to secure the knockout victory. Erosa's remarkable finish earned him a Performance of the Night bonus, providing a memorable conclusion to his career and improving his record to 10-9-0.

Dakota Hope Defies Odds Against Francis Marshall

Hope entered the Octagon as a 1.9-to-1 underdog against Marshall, who was favored at 65%. Marshall started strong, landing a nasty calf-kick and securing a takedown in the first round. However, Hope rallied in the second, connecting with a multi-punch combination and maintaining pressure through the final round, ultimately earning the split decision with scorecards of 28-29, 29-28, and 29-28. Hope's record now stands at 1-1-0, while Marshall falls to 4-4-0.

Piera Rodriguez Dominates Talita Alencar

In a women's strawweight contest, Piera Rodriguez (5-2-0 before the fight) earned a unanimous decision victory over Talita Alencar (4-1-0 before the fight) after three rounds, with all three judges scoring the bout 30-27 in her favor. Rodriguez, the betting favorite at 73%, showcased superior striking output throughout the fight. The bout was briefly interrupted by a power outage at the Meta APEX, but both fighters continued to compete, with Rodriguez's consistent offense proving the difference-maker. Her record improves to 6-2-0, while Alencar's drops to 4-2-0.

Zach Reese (4-4-0 before the fight) secured a unanimous decision victory over Mickey Gall (6-7-0 before the fight) in a middleweight bout, with scorecards of 29-27 across the board, despite Reese being deducted a point for an accidental eye poke in the first round. Rodrigo Sezinando (0-1-0 before the fight) picked up his first UFC win in the welterweight division, defeating Theodor Berggren (0-1-0 before the fight) by TKO due to a doctor's stoppage at the end of the second round, after a nasty elbow caused a significant cut.
