  • Jim Miller has the most UFC fights in history with 42.
  • Miller also holds the record for the most wins in the UFC with 25.
  • Demetrious Johnson has the most consecutive title defences in UFC history with 11.

Making it to the UFC is already an achievement for fighters because securing a roster spot in the promotion takes work, especially since they house the majority of the best athletes in the world.

Getting a win in the promotion is another significant accomplishment in the UFC because, through it, a fighter can raise his stock and popularity, thus making him a perpetual favourite in UFC odds. But among the long list of stars in the UFC, who has fought the most fights in history?

Who Has Fought the Most Fights in UFC History?

Jim Miller holds the record for the most fights in UFC history with 42. He made his Octagon debut in October 2008 and is still actively competing today. Miller’s last fight was a 23-second knockout victory against Jesse Butler in June 2023.

Who Holds the Most Wins in UFC History?

Miller is also the leader in most wins in UFC history with 25. Aside from the win against Butler, he also defeated a handful of stars like Gleison Tibau, Charles Oliveira, Joe Lauzon, Thiago Alves, Clay Guida, and Donald Cerrone.

Who Holds the Most Losses in UFC History?

Jeremy Stephens and Guida are tied for the most losses in UFC history with 18. Guida matched Stephens’ record in December 2023 after receiving a unanimous decision loss from Joaquim Silva in their lightweight bout.

Stephens and Guida have over 30 fights in the UFC, with the former appearing in 34 matches and the latter 36.

Who Has the Most Consecutive Title Defences in UFC History? 

Demetrious Johnson has the most consecutive title defences in UFC history with 11. His streak began in January 2013 with his first title against John Dodson and went up until October 2017 after submitting Ray Borg.

Henry Cejudo snapped his streak in August 2018 after a close split decision defeat. Following that loss to Cejudo, Johnson was traded to ONE Championship in exchange for Ben Askren.
