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 victories inside the organization, achieving the feat at just 24 years and 7 months old.

Van, known as "The Fearless," holds the flyweight championship and carries an overall professional record of 17-2-0. The 24-year-old from Myanmar represents 4oz. Fight Club and fights out of an orthodox stance. His statistical profile is striking in every sense — he lands an extraordinary 8.84 significant strikes per minute at 56 percent accuracy, numbers that rank among the most prolific in the sport's history. He also chips in 0.84 takedowns per 15 minutes, making him a well-rounded threat despite his slight five-foot-five frame and a 65-inch reach.

The only fighter to reach ten UFC wins at a younger age is Max Holloway, who accomplished it at 23 years, 8 months, and 19 days. Holloway, now 34 and ranked fourth in the lightweight division, owns a 27-9-0 record and averages 7.2 significant strikes per minute over his career. Jon Jones sits third on the all-time list, having reached the milestone at 24 years, 9 months, and 2 days — just over two months older than Van was at UFC 328. Jones, now 38, holds a 28-1-0 record.

Why it matters

• Van leapfrogged Jon Jones on the all-time youngest-to-10-wins list, placing himself in elite historical company
• As reigning flyweight champion with a 17-2-0 record at age 24, Van has significant room to build further on this benchmark
• His output rate of 8.84 significant strikes per minute surpasses even Holloway's remarkable 7.2, underscoring a style matchup that consistently produces highlight-reel finishes
• The milestone adds historical weight to the flyweight division, which has often been overlooked in broader UFC narratives
