Joshua Van becomes second-youngest to reach 10 UFC wins at 24 years old

Joshua Van etched his name into UFC history at UFC 328 on May 9, 2026, becoming the second-youngest fighter ever to record ten wins inside the octagon, achieving the milestone at just 24 years and 7 months old.

Van, known as "The Fearless," holds a professional record of 17-2-0 and is the reigning flyweight champion, representing Myanmar out of 4oz. Fight Club. At only 24, he has already established himself as one of the most prolific offensive fighters in the promotion, landing an extraordinary 8.84 significant strikes per minute at a 56 percent accuracy rate — numbers that place him among the elite. Standing five-foot-five with a 65-inch reach, Van has built his dominance through relentless pressure and sharp output.

The only fighter to reach ten UFC wins at a younger age is Max Holloway, who hit the benchmark at 23 years, 8 months, and 19 days. Now 34 and ranked fourth in the lightweight division, Holloway carries a 27-9-0 record and remains one of the sport's most decorated strikers. Jon Jones, 38 and 28-1-0, sits third on that all-time list at 24 years, 9 months, and 2 days. Kevin Lee follows at 25 years, 7 months, and 17 days, with fighters such as Song Yadong, Robert Whittaker, Dustin Poirier, and Georges St-Pierre each reaching the mark at age 26.

Why it matters

• Van joins Max Holloway and Jon Jones as the only fighters to reach ten UFC wins before turning 25, placing him in rare historical company.
• As reigning flyweight champion, his continued development at this age raises the ceiling for what he may accomplish in the division.
• His striking volume of 8.84 significant strikes per minute surpasses even Holloway's 7.2, signaling a potentially dominant championship era ahead.
