This compilation of active UFC fighters presents details on current Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) athletes, including their nationalities, recent contract changes, upcoming bouts, fight outcomes, and reigning champions within each division. As of July 26, 2025, the UFC roster features competitors representing 75 different nations.
Notes/key
- The list encompasses all fighters presently signed with the UFC who are actively competing, excluding those inactive for more than two years or currently suspended.
- Fighter names correspond to Sherdog profiles and may incorporate ring names or alternate spellings rather than legal birth names.
- Competitors are grouped by weight divisions and sorted according to their earliest appearance in Endeavor-affiliated promotions such as WEC, Strikeforce, or UFC.
- TKO statistics aggregate bouts from Endeavor properties: UFC, Strikeforce, and WEC combined.
- MMA fight records are sourced from Sherdog’s database.
- National flags reflect Sherdog’s designation and might not fully indicate citizenship status.
- Abbreviations for weight classes include: WC = Weight Class; G = Gender; SW = Strawweight; FYW = Flyweight; BW = Bantamweight; FW = Featherweight; LW = Lightweight; WW = Welterweight; MW = Middleweight; LHW = Light Heavyweight; HW = Heavyweight; WSW = Women's Strawweight; WFYW = Women's Flyweight; WBW = Women's Bantamweight; WFW = Women's Featherweight.
- Age and height measurements for fighters are obtained from Sherdog.
- Fight records denote wins, losses, draws, and no-contests (NC).
- The number of athletes per division is accurate as of the specified date but may change weekly.
- Rankings are based on the UFC official site and indicate changes in position (up/down), champion status (C), interim champion (IC), and newly entered rankings ((NR)).
- Calculation of fight records for both Endeavor and MMA statistics applies a formula incorporating wins, losses, draws (counted as 0.5), excluding no-contests. Examples include:
- Fighters with unbeaten records receive an additional point over total wins (e.g., 5–0–0 becomes 6)
- Competitors without victories receive negative points corresponding to losses (e.g., 0–3–0 equals −3)
- Total wins plus winning percentage (e.g., 10–1–0 equals 10.90)
- Draws count as half a win (e.g., 8–4–1 equals 8.65)
- No-contest outcomes do not influence these calculations (e.g., 8–2–0 with 1 NC remains 8.80)

Suspended Fighters
Below is a compilation of fighters currently suspended by regulatory bodies such as the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA), World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), Combat Sports Anti-Doping (CSAD), various athletic commissions due to violations or misconduct, or by the UFC itself.
Since the inception of the UFC's USADA testing program up to May 16, 2019, a total of 76 fighters have faced sanctions.
Beginning January 2024, the UFC entered into a partnership with Drug Free Sport International—an organization responsible for anti-doping oversight in NCAA, MLB, NFL, and NBA. The administration and enforcement of the UFC Anti-Doping Program are now solely under CSAD’s jurisdiction, with former FBI agent George Piro appointed as the independent administrator.

Rankings
The UFC rankings are established through votes cast by a panel comprised of MMA media professionals who evaluate active fighters within each weight division alongside pound-for-pound standings. Fighters may appear in multiple categories if they have competed across different weight classes. Both champions and interim titleholders occupy the highest ranks within their divisions; however, only reigning champions qualify for inclusion in pound-for-pound rankings.
Rankings are refreshed as necessary using data sourced from the UFC’s official website or app.
Latest update: November 25, 2025, post UFC Fight Night: Tsarukyan vs. Hooker.
