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

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 octagon, achieving the milestone at just 24 years and 7 months old.

Vann, nicknamed "The Fearless," is the reigning flyweight champion from Myanmar, fighting out of 4oz. Fight Club. He carries an overall record of 17-2-0 and has been one of the most productive strikers in the promotion, landing an impressive 8.84 significant strikes per minute at a 56 percent accuracy rate. Despite standing just five-foot-five with a 65-inch reach, his output dwarfs nearly everyone on the roster.

The only fighter to reach the 10-win mark younger than Vann is Max Holloway, who did so at 23 years, 8 months, and 19 days. Holloway, now 34 and ranked fourth in the lightweight division and ninth pound-for-pound, holds a 27-9-0 record and averages 7.2 significant strikes per minute — a volume that defined a generation at featherweight. Jon Jones, the all-time great with a 28-1-0 record, sits third on the list at 24 years, 9 months, and 2 days. Kevin Lee ranks fourth at 25 years, 7 months, and 17 days. A cluster of notable names — including Robert Whittaker, Dustin Poirier, Kelvin Gastelum, and others — all cleared the milestone at age 26.

Why it matters

• Vann at 24 already holds UFC gold, placing him among the most decorated young champions in promotion history
• His position ahead of Jones on this list highlights a remarkable early career trajectory
• As flyweight champion with elite striking volume, he is positioned as a long-term centerpiece of the division
