If you are interested in the record holders,its listed here,https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mixed_martial_artists_with_the_most_sanctioned_fights

But i was more interested in fighters who are actually elite,who managed to still have many fights. If they had boxing and kickboxing fights,I added them as well. I used Wikipedia for their records,but sometimes this is not complete. Especially because some kickboxing fights are not always documented.Also maybe they debuted before the earliest listed fights posted for them. Some fighters have documented extensive amateur kickboxing/boxing fights but i left those out. I tried to keep the list limited to fighters above 40 fights who have had exceptional careers.

Alistair Overeem: 40 years old. Active:1999 - Present (21 years)
65 MMA fights, 46 wins,18 losses,1 no contest.
18 Kickboxing fights: 14 wins,4 losses.
Total: 79 Fights.

Alistair has said himself that he has had 92 total fights,and when his UFC contract runs out (4 more fights) he will retire at 96 fights,and that it would be nice to go to 100,but that he himself does not see that as realistic.

Mirko Crocop Flipovic: 45 years old. Active:1996-2019 (23 years)
52 MMA fights,38 wins,11 losses,2 draws,1 no contest.
34 Kickboxing fights, 26 wins,8 losses
Total: 86 fights
Mirko retired last year on a 10 fight win streak,and only retired after suffering a stroke.
He still trains and keeps in shape.

Fedor Emelianenko: 43 Years old. Active: 2000 - Present (20 years)
46 MMA fights,39 wins,6 losses,1 no contest
It should be noted Fedor also has an extensive Combat Sambo career at the highest levels.
Also took 3 years off from MMA competition

Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira: 44 years old. Active:1999 - 2015 (16 years)
46 MMA fights,34 wins,10 losses,1 Draw,1 No contest
It should be noted that Nogueira fought many top level fighters in their prime.
Retired in 2015 to a loss to Stefan Struve,and works as an ambassador for the sport with the UFC in Brazil.

Josh Barnett: 42 years old. Active: 1997 - Present (23 years)
43 MMA fights,35 wins,8 losses
It should be noted that if it werent for his Ped suspensions,he probably would have had alot more fights,and he also participates in submission grappling tourneys,and ADCC,where his record is 4 wins 5 losses.

Andrei Arlovski: 41 Years old. Active: 1999 - Present (21 years)
50 MMA fights,29 wins,19 losses,2 no contests
1 Boxing fight, 1 Win
Total: 51 fights
It should be noted,his first fight was a loss to the infamous Datsik.

Mark Hunt: 46 years old. Active: 1998 - 2018 (20 years)
29 MMA fights 13 wins,14 losses,1 draw,1 no contest
43 kickboxing fights,30 wins,13 losses,
2 boxing fights,2 wins,1 loss
Total: 74 fights
It should be noted,that he remains the only non european fighter to win the K-1 and he did it as a relative unknown. He also defeated Wanderlei Silva and Mikro Crocop as a novice in MMA.

Dan Henderson: 49 Years old. Active: 1997 - 2016 (19 years)
47 MMA fights ,32 wins,15 losses
It should be noted that Henderson has had success at the highest levels in three different weight classes,and attempted but failed at qualifying for the olympics in 2000 in wrestling.
