Joshua Van becomes second-youngest to reach 10 UFC wins

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 organization, achieving the feat at just 24 years and seven months old.

Van, known as "The Fearless," holds a professional record of 17-2-0 and is the reigning flyweight champion, representing Myanmar out of 4oz. Fight Club. Standing five-foot-five with a 65-inch reach, the 24-year-old has been a relentless force in the 125-pound division. His output numbers are among the most eye-catching in the sport, landing 8.84 significant strikes per minute at an accuracy rate of 56 percent — a combination that reflects both his volume and his precision.

The only fighter to reach the ten-win milestone at a younger age is Max Holloway, who got there at 23 years, eight months, and 19 days. Now 34 and ranked fourth in the lightweight division, "Blessed" carries a 27-9-0 record and remains one of the sport's most prolific strikers, averaging 7.2 significant strikes per minute across his career.

Jon Jones, the 38-year-old former champion who stands six-foot-four with an 84-inch reach and owns a 28-1-0 record, sits third on the all-time list at 24 years, nine months, and two days — just over two months older than Van was when he crossed the threshold.

Why it matters

• Van reached ten UFC wins younger than Jon Jones, Kevin Lee, Robert Whittaker, Dustin Poirier, and Georges St-Pierre
• As flyweight champion at 24, Van has significant room to build on what is already a historically fast start
• The milestone reinforces the 125-pound division as one of the UFC's most compelling, with a young champion already producing elite-level striking volume
