Following his victory at UFC 327, Carlos Ulberg now holds the third-longest active winning streak in the UFC with 10 consecutive wins. He is tied with Movsar Evloev at 10 wins, behind only Islam Makhachev who leads with 16 consecutive victories. Ilia Topuria and Khamzat Chimaev are tied at 9 wins each, rounding out the top five. Ulberg's climb up the light heavyweight rankings has been steady and impressive, with his winning streak now placing him among the promotion's most dominant active fighters. This achievement highlights his consistency and finishing ability across multiple high-level opponents.
Carlos Ulberg cemented his place among the UFC's most consistent performers on April 11 at UFC 327, as his latest victory extended his winning streak to ten consecutive fights — good for the third-longest active streak in the promotion.
Ulberg shares that position with featherweight contender Movsar Evloev, both sitting at ten straight wins. The streak places the New Zealand light heavyweight just behind pound-for-pound number-one contender Ilia Topuria and middleweight standout Khamzat Chimaev, who are tied at nine wins apiece, and well behind the man at the top of the list.
That man is welterweight champion Islam Makhachev, who leads all active UFC fighters with 16 consecutive victories. The 34-year-old Russian, now competing at welterweight and ranked number one pound-for-pound, has built that run on a foundation of elite grappling, averaging 3.2 takedowns per 15 minutes and landing significant strikes at a 58 percent accuracy rate.
Topuria, ranked second in the lightweight division and first pound-for-pound at just 29 years old, has been one of the sport's most dangerous finishers during his streak, landing 4.81 significant strikes per minute for the Spanish contender. Chimaev, the number-one ranked middleweight representing the United Arab Emirates, brings a bruising combination of pressure and wrestling, averaging an eye-catching 5.29 takedowns per 15 minutes at 60 percent striking accuracy across his 15-1 career record.
Why it matters
- Ulberg's ten-fight streak places him in elite company across all UFC divisions, not just light heavyweight
- His continued climb up the 205-pound rankings adds urgency to matchmaking at the top of the division
- The broader leaderboard underscores how several divisions — lightweight, welterweight, middleweight — are currently anchored by fighters with sustained, lengthy winning runs
