The order follows each fighter's first title-fight win, not reign length or current rank. A 1-1-1 record means one win, one loss and one draw in this division's title fights. Shevchenko appears once despite holding the belt twice. That keeps this a list of distinct winners.

Silva's five-round win is the newest result in the database. The 2023 draw remains a title fight, but it produced no winner and no new row above. This table shows the latest 10 of the 15 qualifying bouts, not the full fight history.

How this list is counted

AgentMMA starts with every UFC bout tagged as a women's flyweight championship fight. Undisputed and interim title fights qualify. There is no appearance minimum. One title-fight win is enough.

Table 1 gives each winner one row, then orders those rows by the first win date. A losing challenger never enters the list. A draw affects both fighters' records but adds no winner.

The records count women's flyweight title fights only. They don't include non-title UFC bouts or fights in another promotion. A fighter's profile may show a different professional record for that reason.

Vacancies, strippings and promotions happen outside a bout result. AgentMMA uses the UFC's title lineage and record book to explain those changes. The computed tables still come from fight records.

Some lineage lists show five reign entries because Shevchenko appears for each of her two reigns. AgentMMA groups by distinct fighter, so this table has 4 names. The UFC record book also credits Shevchenko with 11 UFC title-fight wins, matching this division's total here.

Notable names on the list

Natalia Silva: the current champion

Natalia Silva won the vacant belt by decision over Wang Cong at UFC 332. Shevchenko had vacated after an injury ruled her out for an extended period. Silva's line is 1-0-0 because UFC 332 was her first title fight.

AgentMMA's rankings data lists Silva as champion on October 22, 2026. Check the UFC Women's Flyweight rankings for the live answer after future events.

Valentina Shevchenko: 11 title-fight wins

Valentina Shevchenko owns the clear record in this division: 11 wins and an 11-1-1 title-fight record. She first took the vacant belt from Joanna Jedrzejczyk in 2018. Alexa Grasso submitted her in 2023, their rematch ended level, and Shevchenko regained the title in 2024.

Her 2026 exit was injury-related. It wasn't a retirement announcement. She remains the benchmark for the most UFC title-fight wins.

Alexa Grasso: the upset that changed the division

Alexa Grasso ended Shevchenko's first reign with a fourth-round submission at UFC 285. Their next fight was a draw. Shevchenko then won the third meeting by decision, leaving Grasso at 1-1-1 in flyweight title fights.

Grasso remains active. UFC coverage records 2026 wins over Maycee Barber and Manon Fiorot. Those were non-title bouts, so they don't change this table.

Nicco Montano: the first champion

Nicco Montano beat Roxanne Modafferi in 2017 to become the inaugural champion. The UFC later stripped her after she withdrew from UFC 228 following a hospital trip during fight week. She never made a title defense, so her title-fight record stays 1-0-0.

How solid is this data?

This is a complete scan of 15 UFC women's flyweight title fights in AgentMMA's bout table. The database range is 1994-03-11 to 2026-10-17, although this division's title history starts in 2017. The page was computed on October 22, 2026.

Only UFC bouts count. Fights elsewhere may appear in a fighter's professional record, but they never enter a UFC figure here. Results follow UFC Stats as stored in AgentMMA's database. An overturned result counts as a no-contest.

The bout table can't encode a vacancy, stripping or interim promotion by itself. Those lineage points come from the UFC's published record. They don't alter the 15 fight results.

The next qualifying title result will change this page. The current champion can also change at the next event, so the UFC Women's Flyweight rankings hold the live answer.
