5 active UFC fighters with the most fights

#2. Clay Guida - UFC lightweight - 58 fights

Clay Guida holds a record of 37-21

Clay Guida is another UFC veteran who has turned in some impressive performances as of late. His most recent outing against Leonardo Santos saw him score a huge upset victory and his first submission win since 2011.

Guida had 26 bouts before first entering the octagon and even won the Strikeforce lightweight championship during that time. Since then, he has fought 32 times inside the octagon and has gone 17-15. He has earned multiple big wins over names like Nate Diaz, Rafael dos Anjos, Anthony Pettis, and B.J. Penn.

Guida is scheduled to return to the octagon on April 23, where he will face Peruvian prospect Claudio Puelles. Given how good he's looked recently, it seems like a given that Guida will make it to 60 career fights before too long.

#1. Alexey Oleynik - UFC heavyweight - 76 fights

Alexey Oleynik's record stands at 59-16-1

Alexey Oleynik has had the most fights of any fighter still competing in the octagon today, and nobody is close. His ridiculous 76 professional MMA fights see him nearly 20 ahead of the nearest competitor. It's doubtful we'll see a fighter get to a tally like this ever again.

Oleynik fought all over the place before first entering the octagon in 2014, including M-1, KSW, and Bellator. Since then, he has fought a surprisingly small number of times, going 8-7 in his 15 fights. As he is a renowned submissions specialist, it is not surprising that six of these victories have come via submission.

Oleynik, however, has struggled for form recently. The UFC star has lost each of his last three fights. He will have a chance to rebound when he faces Ilir Latifi on March 26. Oleynik is now 44 years old, but it doesn't seem unthinkable that his MMA legend will make it to a ridiculous 80 professional fights.
