Following his victory at UFC 327, Carlos Ulberg now has the second-longest active win streak in the UFC with 10 consecutive victories. He shares second place with Movsar Evloev, both trailing only Islam Makhachev who leads with 16 straight wins. Ilia Topuria and Khamzat Chimaev are tied for fourth with 9-fight win streaks. Ulberg's impressive run has elevated him into elite company among the promotion's most dominant active fighters. The New Zealand fighter's streak represents one of the most remarkable current runs in the UFC.
Carlos Ulberg cemented his place among the UFC's most consistent performers when he earned his tenth consecutive victory at UFC 327 on April 11, putting him in rare company across the entire promotion.
The New Zealand fighter now holds the second-longest active win streak in the UFC, tied with featherweight contender Movsar Evloev at ten straight. Only lightweight champion Islam Makhachev stands ahead of them, the Russian carrying a staggering 16-fight winning run while holding a 28-1-0 record at 34 years old. Fighting out of Eagles MMA, Makhachev has been the UFC's dominant pound-for-pound force, averaging 3.2 takedowns per fifteen minutes and landing strikes at a 58 percent accuracy rate.
Just behind Ulberg and Evloev sit two of the sport's most feared fighters. Ilia Topuria, the Spanish lightweight contender ranked second in his division and first pound-for-pound at 29 years old, carries a nine-fight streak alongside a 17-1-0 record and an eye-catching output of 4.81 significant strikes per minute. Khamzat Chimaev, ranked first in the middleweight division with a 15-1-0 record, matches Topuria's streak at nine and brings perhaps the UFC's most suffocating grappling game, averaging 5.29 takedowns per fifteen minutes with a 60 percent striking accuracy rate to complement it.
Why it matters
- Ulberg's ten-fight streak places him in the same breath as some of the promotion's biggest names regardless of division or title status
- The streak almost certainly strengthens his case for a ranked position and a high-profile next opponent in his division
- The cluster of fighters between nine and sixteen wins suggests the upper tier of the UFC's active roster is tightly contested, with any single loss reshuffling the order dramatically
