Joshua Van becomes second-youngest to reach 10 UFC wins at 24

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 promotion, achieving the milestone at just 24 years and seven months old.

Only Max Holloway reached the mark at a younger age, doing so at 23 years, eight months, and 19 days. Holloway, now 34, holds a 27-9 record and is currently ranked fourth in the lightweight division and ninth in the pound-for-pound standings. The Hawaiian is one of the most prolific strikers in UFC history, landing 7.2 significant strikes per minute across his career. Van's achievement places him ahead of some of the sport's most celebrated names in this particular historical measure.

Jon Jones, who sits third on the all-time list, reached ten UFC victories at 24 years, nine months, and two days. The 38-year-old holds a 28-1 record and remains one of the most decorated fighters in promotional history, boasting 58 percent striking accuracy and 1.89 takedowns per 15 minutes across his career.

Kevin Lee reached the ten-win mark at 25 years, seven months, and 17 days, placing him fourth on the list. Several other prominent names — including Petr Yan, Robert Whittaker, Dustin Poirier, and Georges St-Pierre — all crossed the threshold at age 26. Poirier, now 37 with a 30-10 record, lands 5.24 significant strikes per minute and has long been regarded as one of the most well-rounded fighters of his generation.

Why it matters

• Van's milestone at 24 places him in historically elite company, behind only Holloway among all UFC fighters
• Jones, widely considered the greatest of all time, reached the same mark later than Van
• The achievement signals Van as one of the most promising young talents on the current roster
