Raoni Barcelos becomes second bantamweight to win 5 straight after turning 35

Raoni Barcelos has achieved a rare milestone by winning five consecutive fights after turning 35 years old. The Brazilian bantamweight becomes only the second male fighter in UFC flyweight, bantamweight, or featherweight divisions to accomplish this feat. Eyman Zahabi was the first to reach this mark in October 2025. The achievement highlights Barcelos's longevity and continued effectiveness in the highly competitive bantamweight division. This milestone is part of a broader trend showing increased success for fighters over 35 in lighter weight classes.
