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 Octagon, achieving the milestone at just 24 years and 7 months of age.

Van, nicknamed "The Fearless," holds a professional record of 17-2-0 and currently reigns as the UFC Flyweight Champion, representing Myanmar out of 4oz. Fight Club. At five-foot-five with a 65-inch reach, he has built his championship run on a relentless offensive output, landing 8.84 significant strikes per minute at a 56 percent accuracy rate — numbers that place him among the most efficient volume strikers in the division.

The only fighter to reach the ten-win mark at a younger age is Max Holloway, who got there at 23 years, 8 months, and 19 days. Holloway, now 34 and ranked fourth in the Lightweight division, carries a 27-9-0 record and remains one of the sport's most decorated strikers, averaging 7.2 significant strikes per minute across his career. Jon Jones sits third on the all-time list, having reached the milestone at 24 years, 9 months, and 2 days — just 62 days older than Van was at the moment of his tenth win. Kevin Lee ranks fourth at 25 years, 7 months, and 17 days.

Why it matters

• Van's achievement places him in elite historical company alongside Holloway and Jones, two of the sport's most celebrated competitors
• As reigning Flyweight Champion at 24, Van has significant runway to add to his record and potentially challenge for all-time UFC milestones
• His striking volume and accuracy suggest a style that can remain effective across multiple future title defenses
