Fighters that have never been finished!

[BEATDOWNS]

Thought this could be fun. Fighters that have never been KOed or submitted. I don't think Doctor stoppages and fights finished by and illegal move should count. Every now again on Tapology I come across a fighter that has never been finished. While doing my Tap card for this weekends card I came across Youseff Zalal 16-5-1 never finished.

Chris Lytle: 31-18-5 MMA 13-1-1 Pro Boxing 3-0 Bare Knuckle boxing never finished just two doctor stoppages by cuts

Jon Jones: 27-1 never finished.


and go.

[KID Yamamoto]

Pretty sure Overreem's chin held up.

 

[Kung Fu Kowboy]

 

[Luthien]

Going on like 16 years as undefeated?!

 

[J'Ghasta]

lol 3 title defenses

 

[BEATDOWNS]

more like 15-0 I don't think beating up all those Dagestani Taxi drivers and real estate agents should count.

 

[BEATDOWNS]

Alexandre Pantoja 29-5 never finished.

 

[aerius]

Tecia Pennington 14-7. Doesn't sound all that impressive at first, but she fought all 5 champions in her division and was never finished.

and go.

John Dodson is 24-14, and fought who's who in the flyweight and bantamweight divisions. He has never been finished. Lost all 14 fights by decision

Knocked out Dillashaw to give him his first loss and won the Ultimate Fighter. First guy to finish Formiga, and knocked down DJ twice in their title fight

 

[Marko Polo]

Going on like 16 years as undefeated?!

He lost to Reyes

 

[Luthien]

He lost to Reyes

Islam lost to Volk in their first fight

 

[Marko Polo]

Islam lost to Volk in their first fight

The Jon Reyes decision is far more egregious for me. I can see an argument for both Islam and Volk, but there’s simply no argument for Jon. He got soundly outstruck 3 rounds to 2

 

[payton]

1-0 Laura Sanko

I scored it that way to, but I was happy with the decision... winning a title after losing the championship rounds doesn't sit well with me.

 

[EnthusiastCultivator]

lol 3 title defenses

3 is a lot especially at LW. Prime Conor, Poirier and Gaethje are elite wins.

 

[Hymen Crusher]

I live to get finished.

 

[Sean Chowdhury]

Islam lost to Volk in their first fight

volk got rocked in round 1,2 and controlled for all of round 4. There is no way volk won 3 rounds, how are people still saying volk won in 2025

 

[Sean Chowdhury]

Petr yan been fighting at a high level for a long time and never got finished

 

[Bobby Boulders]

John Dodson is 24-14, and fought who's who in the flyweight and bantamweight divisions. He has never been finished. Lost all 14 fights by decision

Knocked out Dillashaw to give him his first loss and won the Ultimate Fighter. First guy to finish Formiga, and knocked down DJ twice in their title fight

Underappreciated, imo
