UFC Fighters With Most Wins

Alistair Overeem, Renan Barao, and Donald Cerrone are the UFC fighters with the most wins. Let’s review their records and their most famous fights.

In mixed martial arts, many moves can lead to a victory or defeat. It could be punches, kicks, elbow, knee, by way of submission, or finally by judges decision. Each fighter has its own skills and style of fighting. Each of them started their career with either kickboxing, wrestling, Jiu-Jitsu, karate, kung fu or any other martial arts. Therefore, it’s a great challenge to attain a winning record.
