Magomed Ankalaev ties Mighty Mouse's UFC Record - how far is he from Jon Jones?

Ankalaev's Hot Streak: 12-0-1, 1 No Contest

The Russian contender entered fight week on an impressive 13-fight unbeaten streak with wins over Aleksandar Rakic, Johnny Walker, Anthony Smith, and more. Ankalaev hasn't lost since his promotional debut against Paul Craig which saw him tap out to a triangle choke with one second left on the clock.

12 fighters have tried and failed to beat Ankalaev after the fact, some multiple times, "Poatan" being the latest to fall in Las Vegas.

The title win for Ankalaev would see the Dagestan-born fighter tie former UFC Champion Demetrious "Mighty Mouse" Johnson's unbeaten streak (14) - the fifth-longest in company history.

For Johnson, 12 of those fights were for the flyweight title, Ankalaev just now starting his title reign after a split draw for the vacant light heavyweight belt in 2022.

Four Others In Front Of Ankalaev, Including #1 Jon Jones

Just above Ankalaev are Kamaru Usman, who went 15-0 before losing to Leon Edwards by headkick KO, current Lightweight Champion Islam Makhachev (15), and the legendary Anderson Silva (15). Jon Jones tops the leaderboards for longest unbeaten streak (20).

At 32 years old, the new champ Magomed Ankalaev is six fights away from tying one of Jon Jones' greatest records.
