Igor Yaroslavovych Vovchanchyn (vov-CHUN-chin, Ukrainian: Ігор Ярославович Вовчанчин; born August 6, 1973) is a retired Ukrainian mixed martial artist and kickboxer, who competed in early no holds barred MMA contests. After making his professional MMA debut in 1995, he won nine openweight mixed martial arts tournaments (back when tournament format required 3 to 4 consecutive bare-knuckle fights during the same night) and 3 superfights. As of July 2024, Vovchanchyn holds the longest unbeaten streak in MMA history (at 40 fights, shared with Travis Fulton) and is the second most successful MMA fighter ever by number of wins achieved by way of knockout. Vovchanchyn has an MMA tournament named after him, the Igor Vovchanchyn Cup.
As a kickboxer, Vovchanchyn won the IAKSA World Kickboxing (Full Contact) title in Denmark in 1993 and Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) kickboxing championship in 1994.
