So far, 7 guys have done it. I'm gonna go with right around 1% of guys to enter the octagon will ever win 15 fights.
So this is a monumental number to reach. Who are the 7 who've done it so far? And dont cheat by looking at fightmatrix.
Anyone know total # of guys to fight in the UFC to date?
Koscheck, GSP, Anderson, Hughes, Tito, Chuck, and Randy I believe.
Didn't check fight matrix but I did need to double check their records on wiki.
Anderson
Chuck
Randy
GSP
Hughes
...
Damn forgot about Tito and
Koscheck
I thought bisping might have for a second but hes on 14
There will be more that are close that should reach 15 before they retire.
Mir, Guillard, Jim Miller, among others.

Yeah there will definitely be more guys. Like Jones, Okami, Bisping, Sanchez.
But there are also guys who are so close but might not, Mir and Franklin are both in the twilight of their careers. Likely one or two bouts away from retirement and they're both at 14 right now haha would be a shame if they didn't get to join this club.
GROUNDnLB - Fitch?
I think he was at 14 before being cut. Burn...
18 - Hughes, GSP
16 - Liddell, Couture, Silva
15 - Ortiz, Koscheck
14- Mir, Franklin, Fitch, Bisping
13 - Okami, Sanchez
12 - Evans, Penn, Leben, Florian, Maia, Jones, Tibau, Belfort
To answer the question as to the % of fighters reaching 15 wins, it will become less and less as it becomes harder to keep your job in the UFC, now with only 2-3 consecutive losses before most fighters get the boot, as well as the skill level of athletes improving over time.
^ I actually shouldn't say "to answer the question" because it doesn't. More of just a thought on the matter.
