At the welterweight division's leading edge, Michael Morales of Ecuador and Shavkat Rakhmonov of Kazakhstan share the longest active winning streaks in the UFC 170-pound class, each having rattled off seven consecutive victories. Behind them, a cluster of hungry contenders is building its own momentum.
Rakhmonov, nicknamed "Nomad," is the division's clearest title threat among the streak leaders. Ranked third at welterweight, the 31-year-old Kazakhstani carries a perfect 19-0-0 professional record. Standing six-foot-four with a 77-inch reach, he combines elite finishing instincts with a striking accuracy of 60 percent — one of the sharpest marks in the division.
Morales, the 24-year-old Ecuadorian, does not appear in the verified ranking data here but has matched Rakhmonov blow for blow in terms of consecutive wins inside the Octagon, making him one of the most closely watched rising names at 170 pounds.
Michel Pereira, known as "Demolidor," holds five straight wins and sits third among the active streak leaders. The 32-year-old Brazilian is currently ranked 15th — though the verified data places him in the middleweight division, reflecting a divisional move. He carries a 32-15-0 career record and lands 4.46 significant strikes per minute with 51 percent accuracy.
Rounding out the group with four-fight winning streaks are Mike Malott of Canada, Gabriel Bonfim of Brazil, and Pineale Soriano of the United States. Bonfim, ranked 10th at welterweight, is 28 years old and holds a 19-1-0 record. The Brazilian averages 4.61 significant strikes per minute and adds a steady takedown threat at 3.6 per 15 minutes.
