Two unbeaten streaks are defining the UFC welterweight division's top end right now, with Shavkat Rakhmonov of Kazakhstan and Michael Morales of Ecuador each carrying seven consecutive UFC victories — the longest active winning runs in the 170-pound class.
Rakhmonov, nicknamed "Nomad," stands as perhaps the most complete threat in the division. The 31-year-old is ranked third at welterweight and carries a perfect 19-0-0 professional record. At six-foot-four with a 77-inch reach, he combines elite finishing ability with a striking accuracy of 60 percent, landing 3.25 significant strikes per minute while also averaging 1.4 takedowns and 1.2 submission attempts per 15 minutes.
Michel Pereira, known as "Demolidor," sits third on the streak list with five straight wins. The 32-year-old Brazilian holds a 32-15-0 record and is currently ranked 15th at middleweight, where he lands 4.46 significant strikes per minute at 51 percent accuracy.
Three fighters are bunched together with four-fight winning streaks: Canada's Mike Malott, Brazil's Gabriel Bonfim, and Punahele Soriano from the United States. Bonfim, ranked 10th at welterweight and just 28 years old, is the standout name in that group. The 185-centimeter Brazilian carries a 19-1-0 record and is one of the division's most well-rounded threats, averaging 3.6 takedowns and 1.4 submission attempts per 15 minutes to go alongside 4.61 significant strikes per minute.
Why it matters
- Rakhmonov's perfect record and top-three ranking put him in immediate title contention at 170 pounds
- Morales matching Rakhmonov's streak signals Ecuador has a genuine welterweight contender on the rise
- Bonfim's four-fight run at ranked status keeps the welterweight top ten tightly contested
