At the welterweight division's summit of momentum, Michael Morales and Shavkat Rakhmonov share the longest active winning streaks in the UFC's 170-pound ranks, each riding seven consecutive victories.
Rakhmonov, ranked third in the welterweight division, remains one of the most imposing figures in the sport. The 31-year-old Kazakhstani known as "Nomad" carries a flawless 19-0 professional record and stands six-foot-four with a 77-inch reach. His 60 percent striking accuracy is among the most efficient in the division, and he adds 1.4 takedowns per 15 minutes alongside 1.2 submission attempts in the same span, making him a threat across all phases of a fight.
Michel Pereira, listed in the verified data as currently competing at middleweight and ranked 15th in that division, follows the top two with five straight wins. The 32-year-old Brazilian lands 4.46 significant strikes per minute at 51 percent accuracy and holds a 32-15 professional record built over a long and active career.
Gabriel Bonfim, ranked 10th at welterweight, is among a trio holding four-fight winning streaks alongside Mike Malott and Punuale Soriano. The 28-year-old Brazilian known as "Marretinha" brings a 19-1 record and one of the division's more well-rounded statistical profiles, posting 4.61 significant strikes per minute, 3.6 takedowns per 15 minutes, and 1.4 submission attempts in the same window.
