The UFC’s All-Time Wins Leaderboard and Record Gaps
Jim Miller owns the UFC wins record with 28 through Sept. 30, 2026. Compare the top 10, the gaps behind him and which official results count.
Jim Miller has the most wins in UFC history, with 28 official UFC victories through September 30, 2026. Charles Oliveira and Neil Magny are tied for second with 25 each, leaving both three wins behind Miller. Max Holloway is fourth with 24.
This leaderboard counts wins in official UFC-promoted bouts across all weight classes, not each fighter’s complete professional MMA record. A knockout, submission or decision victory adds one win. No contests, overturned results, exhibition bouts and wins in other promotions do not.

UFC All-Time Wins Leaders
| Rank | Fighter | UFC wins | UFC losses |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Jim Miller | 28 | 18 |
| 2 | Charles Oliveira | 25 | 11 |
| 2 | Neil Magny | 25 | 13 |
| 4 | Max Holloway | 24 | 9 |
| 5 | Donald Cerrone | 23 | 14 |
| 5 | Andrei Arlovski | 23 | 18 |
| 7 | Jon Jones | 22 | 1 |
| 7 | Dustin Poirier | 22 | 9 |
| 7 | Demian Maia | 22 | 11 |
| 10 | Rafael dos Anjos | 21 | 15 |
The table is current through September 30, 2026. Fighters with equal win totals share the same rank, so the position after a tie skips the corresponding number of places. Oliveira and Magny share second, making Holloway fourth rather than third. Cerrone and Arlovski share fifth, while Jones, Poirier and Maia share seventh.
No contests are not included in the loss column. That distinction matters because adding the displayed wins and losses does not necessarily produce a fighter’s complete number of UFC starts. Miller, for example, also has one no contest.
The win totals and their order match the UFC’s official record book. The UFC page formally states that its records cover UFC 28 onward. Every fighter in this top 10 began his UFC career at UFC 28 or later, so that starting point does not omit an earlier UFC win from any listed fighter’s total.
Fight Matrix’s all-UFC wins table independently produces the same top 10. It also supplies the UFC loss totals and first and last bout dates used for this comparison.
The Cutoff Date Changes How the Record Should Be Read
A career leaderboard is a snapshot, even when the leader’s total is described as an all-time record. The relevant snapshot here includes official results through September 30, 2026.
The latest UFC bout listed for each top-10 fighter through that cutoff is:
| Fighter | Latest UFC bout through cutoff |
|---|---|
| Jim Miller | May 9, 2026 |
| Charles Oliveira | March 7, 2026 |
| Neil Magny | August 15, 2026 |
| Max Holloway | July 11, 2026 |
| Donald Cerrone | July 2, 2022 |
| Andrei Arlovski | June 29, 2024 |
| Jon Jones | November 16, 2024 |
| Dustin Poirier | July 19, 2025 |
| Demian Maia | June 12, 2021 |
| Rafael dos Anjos | October 26, 2024 |
Miller, Oliveira, Magny and Holloway all recorded UFC appearances in 2026. That does not by itself establish whether or when any of them will compete again, but it explains why a leaderboard without a data-through date can become misleading.
At the cutoff, Oliveira and Magny need three additional wins merely to tie Miller’s 28. They would need four to move ahead if Miller’s total stayed unchanged. Holloway is four behind, while Cerrone and Arlovski are five behind. Jones, Poirier and Maia trail by six, and dos Anjos trails by seven.
Those are static gaps, not forecasts. Any additional Miller victory would move the target at the same time that another fighter was trying to close it. The record comparison therefore needs both the current total and the cutoff date.
How Jim Miller Reached 28 UFC Wins
Miller made his UFC debut at UFC 89 on October 18, 2008, submitting David Baron. His official UFC profile documents a promotional career spanning appearances at UFC 89, UFC 100, UFC 200 and UFC 300.
He did not take sole possession of the wins record until UFC 276 on July 2, 2022. Miller and Donald Cerrone entered their rematch tied for the lead. Miller submitted Cerrone with a guillotine in the second round, breaking the tie and moving ahead. The UFC’s account of the record-setting fight identifies that victory as the one that put Miller alone at the top.
Miller subsequently added victories over Jesse Butler, Gabriel Benitez, Damon Jackson and Jared Gordon. His submission of Gordon at UFC 328 on May 9, 2026, became UFC victory No. 28.
The official UFC 328 event recap records the finish as a guillotine at 3:29 of Round 1. It also states that Miller had reached 28 wins in 47 UFC starts.
Those 47 starts consist of 28 wins, 18 losses and one no contest. Dividing 28 wins by 47 starts gives Miller a 59.6% UFC win rate. The no contest remains part of his appearance total but is neither a win nor a loss.
That record composition shows why “most wins” is not another name for “highest win percentage.” Miller’s 28 victories put him first in cumulative wins, while his 18 losses remain part of the same long UFC tenure. Jon Jones, by comparison, has 22 listed UFC wins and one loss, but the leaderboard ranks the number of wins rather than the proportion of bouts won.
The category rewards sustained victory accumulation over many promotional appearances. It does not require an unbeaten record, a championship reign or the highest success rate among fighters with smaller UFC samples. Miller leads because no fighter had won more official UFC bouts by the cutoff.
Each Official Victory Counts Once
The method does not assign different values to different ways of winning. A first-round knockout counts as one win. A submission counts as one. A decision victory also counts as one, regardless of whether the scorecards are unanimous, split or majority.
The opponent’s ranking and the bout’s placement on the card do not change the total either. A preliminary-card victory and a main-event victory each add one. The leaderboard answers a narrow question: how many official UFC bouts did the fighter win?
That narrow definition keeps the measure reproducible, but it also limits what can be inferred from it. The total does not describe finish rate, opposition quality, winning streak length or championship success. Those require separate measures and their own bout pools.
Wins earned before a fighter joined the UFC remain part of the fighter’s professional MMA record but not the UFC total. The same exclusion applies to victories recorded after leaving the promotion and fighting elsewhere. Combining those records would answer a different question about total professional wins.
Exhibition bouts on The Ultimate Fighter are also outside this count. They are not treated as official UFC-promoted professional results for the leaderboard, even when the participants later compete on UFC cards.
Overturned Results Follow the Final Official Ruling
Miller’s 2013 bout with Pat Healy illustrates why the final official result controls the count. Healy initially won the bout by submission, but the result was later overturned to a no contest.
Miller did not receive a win when the initial Healy result was erased. He also did not retain a loss. Miller’s UFC profile and UFCStats bout history list the bout as a no contest, so it contributes to his 47 starts without adding to either the 28-win or 18-loss column.
The same principle applies generally to overturned results: this leaderboard follows the official outcome rather than the result announced before a later ruling. Counting the superseded result would make the win and loss totals disagree with the official record.
A draw likewise would not add a victory, although none is needed to explain Miller’s stated 47-start breakdown. Only an official win increases the wins column.
The Wins Record Is Separate From Championship Records
Miller’s career-wins record should not be treated as a title record. A non-title win and a title-fight win each contribute exactly one victory to this leaderboard.
A successful title defense is more specific. The fighter must enter as the champion holding the contested belt and retain it. Winning a vacant title is a title-fight victory, but it is not a defense because the winner did not enter with that championship.
That distinction means cumulative UFC wins, title-fight wins and successful title defenses can have different leaders. They describe different achievements and use different eligibility rules. See UFC title-fight wins versus title defenses for the separate counting methods.
Miller’s lead over Oliveira and Magny is three wins at the stated cutoff. The precise claim is therefore that Miller held the official UFC career-wins record with 28 through September 30, 2026—not that he led every UFC success category or had the best win percentage.
