Michael Morales and Shavkat Rakhmonov are tied for the longest active winning streaks in the UFC welterweight division with seven consecutive victories each. Michel Pereira follows with five wins in a row, while Mike Malott, Gabriel Bonfim, and Punahele Soriano each have four-fight winning streaks. The statistics highlight the current momentum leaders in one of the UFC's most competitive divisions. Malott's recent victory at UFC Winnipeg presumably extended his streak to four.
Two welterweights are setting the pace in the UFC's 170-pound division. Michael Morales and Shavkat Rakhmonov have each reeled off seven consecutive victories inside the UFC, giving them the longest active winning streaks among all welterweights on the roster.
Rakhmonov, 31, remains one of the division's most dangerous contenders. The Kazakhstani fighter, ranked third at welterweight, carries a perfect professional record of 19-0 and presents a genuine threat wherever the fight goes. Standing six-foot-four with a 77-inch reach, "Nomad" lands significant strikes at a rate of 3.25 per minute and does so with a remarkable 60 percent accuracy — among the best in the division. He also averages 1.4 takedowns per 15 minutes, rounding out a well-rounded and physically imposing skill set.
Michel Pereira, nicknamed "Demolidor," sits five wins into his current streak. The Brazilian holds a 32-15 career record and is currently ranked 15th at middleweight, where he has been competing. At 32 years old, Pereira produces 4.46 significant strikes per minute at 51 percent accuracy, making him one of the more active and entertaining strikers on the roster.
Gabriel Bonfim rounds out the picture from the welterweight side, carrying a four-fight winning streak and a 19-1 record into his current standing. The 28-year-old Brazilian, ranked 10th at welterweight, is among the more well-rounded fighters in the division, averaging 4.61 significant strikes per minute alongside 3.6 takedowns per 15 minutes and 1.4 submission attempts per 15 minutes.
Why it matters
- Rakhmonov's seven-fight streak at a perfect 19-0 keeps him firmly in title contention at 170 pounds
- Bonfim's combination of striking output and grappling volume makes him a rising threat in the top ten
- The depth of winning streaks across the division signals a highly competitive welterweight landscape heading into the second half of 2026
