Joshua Van achieved his 10th UFC victory at 24 years and 7 months old, making him the second-youngest fighter to reach this milestone in UFC history. Only Max Holloway reached 10 wins younger, doing so at 23 years, 8 months, and 19 days. Jon Jones ranks third, achieving the feat at 24 years, 9 months, and 2 days. Kevin Lee is fourth at 25 years, 7 months, and 17 days. Several other fighters including Song, Whittaker, Poirier, Matthews, Gastelum, Andrade, Lineker, and GSP all reached 10 UFC wins at age 26. The statistic highlights Van's rapid rise and early success in the UFC.
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 promotion, achieving the milestone at just 24 years and seven months old.
The reigning flyweight champion, known as "The Fearless," carries a professional record of 17-2-0 and represents Myanmar out of 4oz. Fight Club. Standing five-foot-five with a 65-inch reach, Van has built his championship reign on an elite offensive output, landing 8.84 significant strikes per minute at 56 percent accuracy — numbers that rank among the most prolific in the division.
Only one fighter in UFC history reached the ten-win mark at a younger age. Max Holloway, now 34 and ranked fourth in the lightweight division with a record of 27-9-0, got there at 23 years, eight months, and 19 days. Jon Jones, who owns a 28-1-0 record, sits third on the all-time list, having reached the milestone at 24 years, nine months, and two days. Kevin Lee ranks fourth at 25 years, seven months, and 17 days, while a cluster of fighters — including Robert Whittaker, Dustin Poirier, and Georges St-Pierre — all cleared the mark at age 26.
Why it matters
- Van's placement above Jones and below only Holloway underscores just how accelerated his UFC trajectory has been
- As flyweight champion at 24, Van has significant runway to add to his win total and climb further up the all-time list
- His high-volume striking style at 8.84 significant strikes per minute suggests continued finishing ability and fan-friendly performances ahead
