Joshua Vann reached 10 UFC victories at 24 years and 7 months old, making him the second-youngest fighter to achieve this milestone in UFC history. Max Holloway holds the record at 23 years, 8 months, and 19 days. Jon Jones reached the mark at 24 years, 9 months, and 2 days, placing third. Kevin Lee accomplished it at 25 years, 7 months, and 17 days. Several other fighters including Song, Whittaker, Poirier, Matthews, Gastelum, Andrade, Lineker, and GSP all reached 10 wins at age 26.
Joshua Vann cemented his place in UFC history at UFC 328 on May 9, 2026, becoming the second-youngest fighter ever to record ten victories inside the promotion, achieving the milestone at just 24 years and seven months old.
Vann, who competes at flyweight under the nickname "The Fearless," carries a record of 17-2-0 and is the current flyweight champion representing Myanmar out of 4oz. Fight Club. Standing five-foot-five with a 65-inch reach, the 24-year-old orthodox striker has been one of the most productive offensive fighters in the division, landing an eye-catching 8.84 significant strikes per minute at a 56 percent accuracy rate — numbers that speak to both his volume and his precision.
Only Max Holloway reached ten UFC wins at a younger age. The now-34-year-old lightweight contender, ranked fourth in his division and ninth pound-for-pound, accomplished the feat at 23 years, 8 months, and 19 days. Holloway, out of Hawaii and training with Gracie Technics, owns a 27-9-0 record and remains one of the sport's most decorated strikers, averaging 7.2 significant strikes per minute across his career.
Jon Jones, the 38-year-old heavyweight with a 28-1-0 record, sits third on the all-time list, having reached ten wins at 24 years, 9 months, and two days — meaning Vann edged him out by just over two months. Kevin Lee follows in fourth at 25 years, 7 months, and 17 days, while a cluster of notable champions and contenders including Robert Whittaker, Dustin Poirier, Kelvin Gastelum, Jessica Andrade, and Georges St-Pierre all reached the mark at age 26.
Why it matters
- Vann is only the second fighter in UFC history to reach ten wins before turning 25, an extraordinarily rare benchmark
- As the reigning flyweight champion, he now holds both divisional gold and one of the sport's most distinguished historical records simultaneously
- His striking output surpasses both Holloway and Jones at comparable stages, underlining the threat he poses to any future opponent in the division
