5 best undefeated UFC fighters who aren't ranked

#2. Mohammad Mokaev - UFC flyweight

Mohammad Mokaev holds a record of 6-0 (1 NC)

Mohammad Mokaev may only be one fight into his UFC run, but he has already cemented himself as one of the best young prospects in the sport. ‘The Punisher’ holds ridiculous potential given he is just 21 years old and could be set to climb the rankings very quickly.

Mokaev’s octagon debut was truly one to behold as he overwhelmed Cody Durden on his way to earning a submission win inside a minute at UFC London. While he was born in Dagestan, Russia, ‘The Punisher’ calls England home and received tremendous support fighting in front of such a partisan crowd.

Whilst it would usually be unheard of, the highly-touted prospect could easily find himself entering the rankings with just one more win in the octagon. The sky seems to be the limit for Mokaev, who not only hasn’t lost since turning professional but also went undefeated during a lengthy amateur career too.

#1. Jack Shore - UFC bantamweight

In truth, it’s a little shocking that Jack Shore still remains outside the rankings given the consistency he has shown inside the octagon. ‘Tank’ won and defended the Cage Warriors bantamweight title before making the jump to the UFC in 2019.

Having now won five fights with the promotion, it’s surprising he’s yet to be rewarded with a number next to his name. Shore’s promotional debut saw him earn a performance of the night bonus when he picked up the win via third-round submission in Denmark.

He followed that up with a second straight submission win before a split decision victory in his third fight that may have seen his stock drop a touch. He then earned another decision victory before his most recent performance that really turned some heads.

At UFC London, Shore put on a breathtaking performance to defeat a very formidable opponent in Dagestani grappler Timur Valiev. That unanimous decision win proved just how far the Welsh fighter has come and really ought to have entered the rankings the following week.

He most certainly won't be denied a ranking should he add another victory to his already incredibly impressive winning streak.
