Carlos Ulberg has moved into the top three for the longest active winning streaks in the UFC following his victory at UFC 327. He now sits at 10 consecutive wins, tied with Movsar Evloev for second place. Islam Makhachev leads all active fighters with 16 consecutive victories. Ilia Topuria and Khamzat Chimaev are both tied at 9 wins each, rounding out the top five. Ulberg's achievement is particularly notable as he continues his undefeated run in the light heavyweight division.
Carlos Ulberg cemented his place among the UFC's elite performers on April 11 at UFC 327, extending his unbeaten run to ten consecutive victories and vaulting himself into the top three for the longest active winning streaks in the organization.
Ulberg's ten-fight run in the light heavyweight division puts him level with Movsar Evloev in second place on that active-streak list, behind only pound-for-pound king Islam Makhachev. The Russian welterweight champion, who fights out of Eagles MMA, holds a record of 28-1-0 and carries a staggering 16-fight winning streak — the longest of any active UFC fighter. At 34 years old, Makhachev averages 3.2 takedowns per fifteen minutes and lands strikes at a 58 percent accuracy rate, reinforcing why he sits atop the pound-for-pound rankings.
Rounding out the top five are two fighters locked at nine consecutive wins apiece. Ilia Topuria, ranked number one pound-for-pound at just 29 years old, holds a 17-1-0 record competing at lightweight for Spain. Known as "El Matador," Topuria is one of the most active strikers in the sport at 4.81 significant strikes per minute. Khamzat Chimaev, meanwhile, brings a 15-1-0 record to the middleweight division, where the UAE-based fighter holds the number-one divisional ranking. "Borz" leads this group in takedown output at 5.29 per fifteen minutes and connects on 60 percent of his strikes.
Why it matters
- Ulberg's ten-fight streak is the longest unbeaten run in the light heavyweight division among active fighters, raising his title contention profile significantly.
- Sitting tied for second overall places him in elite company alongside Evloev, with only Makhachev's historic run ahead of them.
- The streak standings highlight how competitive the current UFC landscape is, with top fighters across welterweight, lightweight, and middleweight all chasing similar milestones.
