Michael Moralez and Shavkat Rakhmonov currently stand as the momentum leaders of the UFC welterweight division, each riding seven-fight winning streaks that place them ahead of every other active fighter at 170 pounds.
Rakhmonov, nicknamed "Nomad," is the more prominent of the two. The 31-year-old from Kazakhstan carries a perfect 19-0-0 professional record and sits at number three in the welterweight rankings. Standing six-foot-four with a 77-inch reach, he is a physical presence in the division and posts a striking accuracy of 60 percent, one of the more efficient marks among welterweights. He also averages 1.2 submission attempts per 15 minutes, underscoring his finishing ability on the ground.
Moralez's verified data was not available in this snapshot, but his seven-fight streak matches Rakhmonov's and places him squarely among the division's form contenders.
Michel Pereira, nicknamed "Demolidor," follows with five consecutive victories. The 32-year-old Brazilian competes at middleweight according to current records, where he is ranked fifteenth, and averages 4.46 significant strikes per minute with 51 percent accuracy across his 32-15-0 career.
Among welterweights with four-fight streaks, Gabriel Bonfim stands out. The 28-year-old Brazilian, known as "Marretinha," holds a 19-1-0 record and is ranked tenth at welterweight. He lands 4.61 significant strikes per minute and adds 3.6 takedowns per 15 minutes, making him one of the more well-rounded prospects in the division. Mike Malott and Punnaele Soriano round out the four-fight streak group.
Why it matters
- Rakhmonov's perfect record and top-three ranking make his streak the most title-relevant in the division
- Bonfim's combination of striking volume and takedown output at rank ten signals he could be pushing into contender conversations soon
- The clustering of multi-fight streaks across the welterweight roster points to a deep, competitive division with several fighters building cases for higher-profile matchups
