Joshua Vann has achieved 10 UFC victories at 24 years and 7 months old, making him the second-youngest fighter to reach this milestone. Max Holloway holds the record at 23 years, 8 months, and 19 days, while Jon Jones reached the mark at 24 years, 9 months, and 2 days. Kevin Lee accomplished the feat at 25 years, 7 months, and 17 days, ranking fourth on the list. Several other fighters including Song, Whittaker, Poirier, Matthews, Gastelum, Andrade, Lineker, and GSP all reached 10 UFC wins at age 26. This statistical achievement highlights Vann's rapid rise and success in the UFC at a young age.
Joshua Vann cemented his place in UFC history at UFC 328 on May 9, 2026, becoming the second-youngest fighter ever to record 10 wins inside the promotion, achieving the milestone at just 24 years and 7 months old.
Vann, known as "The Fearless," is the current flyweight champion representing Myanmar out of 4oz. Fight Club. At 24, he carries a professional record of 17-2-0 and has built one of the most aggressive output profiles in the division, landing an outstanding 8.84 significant strikes per minute at 56 percent accuracy. The champion stands five-foot-five with a 65-inch reach and fights out of an orthodox stance.
The record itself belongs to Max Holloway, who reached 10 UFC wins at 23 years, 8 months, and 19 days. Now 34 and ranked fourth in the lightweight division with a 27-9-0 record, "Blessed" averages an elite 7.2 significant strikes per minute — one of the highest volumes in promotional history. Jon Jones, whose 28-1-0 record and 84-inch reach made him a generational force, got there at 24 years, 9 months, and 2 days, placing third. Vann slots in between those two all-time names.
Kevin Lee sits fourth on the list at 25 years, 7 months, and 17 days, while a cluster of notable fighters — including Robert Whittaker, Dustin Poirier, Kelvin Gastelum, Jessica Andrade, John Lineker, Georges St-Pierre, and Song — all reached the mark at age 26.
Why it matters
- Vann reached the milestone faster than Jon Jones, placing him in historically elite company
- As reigning flyweight champion at 24, his record and output numbers suggest significant room for further growth
- His position on this list underscores a generational talent emerging outside the traditional MMA powerhouse nations
