About Most Draws in UFC History

Fighters with the most drawn decisions in UFC competition

Draws are one of the rarest outcomes in mixed martial arts, which makes this leaderboard a quirky corner of the record books. Because the sport scores every round and rewards damage and control, judges almost always find a winner — so a fighter needs an unusual sequence of results, like a 10-8 round offset by a point deduction, to end a night level. This page ranks the UFC fighters who have managed to draw the most times across their careers.

A high draw count often points to a particular kind of fighter: extremely competitive, frequently in close fights, and sometimes the victim of point deductions in bouts they were otherwise winning. Pair this with our most fights and most wins leaderboards to see how these tight-margin competitors fit into the bigger picture, or open any fighter profile to see the bouts that ended in a stalemate.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why are draws so rare in the UFC?
MMA uses the 10-point must system, and clean rounds almost always produce a winner, so an even scorecard requires a very specific set of results — usually a 10-8 round balanced by a point deduction, or two judges splitting evenly. That's why even the fighters at the top of this list only have a small handful of draws.
What types of draws are there?
A unanimous draw is when all three judges score it even, a majority draw is when two judges score it even and one picks a winner, and a split draw is when one judge favors each fighter and the third scores it level. All of them count equally toward the totals here.
Do no-contests count as draws?
No. A no-contest — for example a fight overturned after a failed drug test or stopped by an accidental foul — is a separate result and is not counted as a draw on this leaderboard.
