The Hit List: Undefeated Fighters in the UFC

Brian KnappOct 16, 2017

Paulo Henrique Costa has been nothing short of sensational in his two Ultimate Fighting Championship appearances, and his climb on the middleweight ladder will in a matter of weeks bring him face to face with a former UFC titleholder.

Part of a select group as one of 34 undefeated fighters on the UFC roster with at least one victory inside the Octagon, Costa will put his 10-0 record on the line against onetime welterweight champion Johny Hendricks in a featured UFC 217 pairing on Nov. 4 at Madison Square Garden in New York. “Borrachinha” has finished all 10 of his opponents, nine of them by knockout or technical knockout and four of them in less than 90 seconds. The 26-year-old Brazilian last competed at UFC 212 in June, when he wiped out Oluwale Bamgbose with second-round punches. Costa was a Jungle Fight champion before he made his move to the UFC.
