Following his victory at UFC 327, Carlos Ulberg has entered the top three for the longest active winning streaks in the UFC with 10 consecutive victories. He now shares second place with Movsar Evloev, both sitting behind Islam Makhachev who leads with 16 straight wins. Ilia Topuria and Khamzat Chimaev are tied for fourth place with nine consecutive victories each. Ulberg's streak follows his knockout win over Jiri Prochazka in Miami. The New Zealand-based fighter continues his impressive rise in the light heavyweight division.
Carlos Ulberg cemented his place among the UFC's elite streakers at UFC 327 on April 11, knocking out Jiri Prochazka to push his consecutive winning run to ten fights and climb into a share of second place on the all-time active streak list.
The New Zealand-based light heavyweight now sits alongside featherweight contender Movsar Evloev at ten straight wins, with both men trailing only lightweight and welterweight champion Islam Makhachev, whose remarkable run of 16 consecutive victories remains the longest active streak in the promotion. Makhachev, 34, holds a 28-1 record and competes at welterweight, landing strikes at a 58 percent accuracy rate while averaging 3.2 takedowns per fifteen minutes — numbers that underline why his streak stands in a class of its own.
Rounding out the top five are Ilia Topuria and Khamzat Chimaev, each riding nine-fight winning streaks. Topuria, the 29-year-old Spanish contender ranked second at lightweight and first in the pound-for-pound rankings, carries a 17-1 record and produces a striking output of 4.81 significant strikes per minute. Chimaev, ranked first at middleweight and tenth pound-for-pound, owns a 15-1 record for the UAE-flagged Allstars Training Center product. The six-foot-two middleweight is one of the sport's most complete pressers, averaging 5.29 takedowns per fifteen minutes at 60 percent striking accuracy.
Why it matters
- Ulberg's ten-fight streak elevates his case for a light heavyweight title shot in the near term
- Makhachev's 16-fight run across two divisions cements his standing as the UFC's benchmark for sustained excellence
- Topuria and Chimaev entering the conversation highlights how several divisions are simultaneously home to historically long active streaks, raising the stakes for upcoming matchmaking across lightweight, middleweight, and light heavyweight
