Joshua Vann achieved his 10th UFC victory at 24 years and 7 months old, making him the second-youngest fighter to reach this milestone in company history. Only Max Holloway reached 10 UFC wins younger, accomplishing the feat at 23 years, 8 months, and 19 days. Jon Jones ranks third, reaching 10 wins at 24 years, 9 months, and 2 days. Kevin Lee achieved the milestone at 25 years, 7 months, and 17 days.

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 and holds the divisional title, carries an overall record of 17-2-0. The 24-year-old from Myanmar, who trains out of 4oz. Fight Club, has built his reputation as an elite striker, landing an extraordinary 8.84 significant strikes per minute at 56 percent accuracy — numbers that rank among the most prolific in the sport. Fighting out of an orthodox stance at five-foot-five with a 65-inch reach, "The Fearless" has also shown well-rounded grappling, averaging 0.84 takedowns per fifteen minutes.
The only fighter to reach ten UFC wins at a younger age is Max Holloway, who accomplished the feat at 23 years, eight months, and nineteen days. Now 34, the Hawaiian ranked fourth at lightweight and ninth pound-for-pound carries a 27-9-0 record and remains one of the most prolific volume strikers in company history, averaging 7.2 significant strikes per minute. Jon Jones, 38, sits third on the all-time list, having reached the benchmark at 24 years, nine months, and two days. Jones holds a 28-1-0 record and has averaged 4.38 significant strikes per minute with 1.89 takedowns per fifteen minutes across his career.
Why it matters
- Vann reached the milestone nearly two months younger than Jon Jones, placing him in elite historical company alongside two of the sport's greatest fighters.
- As reigning flyweight champion, Vann's rapid rise suggests he could accumulate wins at a pace few title holders have matched at his age.
- His striking output of 8.84 significant strikes per minute surpasses even Holloway's celebrated volume, signaling a potentially dominant long-term reign.
