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

Joshua Van cemented his place in 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 7 months of age.

Van, known as "The Fearless," is the reigning flyweight champion out of Myanmar with a professional record of 17-2-0. Still only 24, he has built one of the most prolific young careers in the promotion's history, landing an extraordinary 8.84 significant strikes per minute with a 56 percent accuracy rate — numbers that stand among the highest in the flyweight division. He trains out of 4oz. Fight Club and competes from an orthodox stance at five-foot-five with a 65-inch reach.

The record for youngest to reach ten UFC wins belongs to Max Holloway, who hit the mark at 23 years, 8 months, and 19 days. Now 34 and ranked fourth in the lightweight division, Holloway carries a 27-9-0 record and remains one of the sport's most decorated veterans, averaging 7.2 significant strikes per minute across his career. Jon Jones sits third on the all-time list, having reached ten wins at 24 years, 9 months, and 2 days. Jones, now 38 and holding a 28-1-0 record, is widely regarded as one of the greatest fighters the sport has seen.

Kevin Lee follows in fourth place, reaching the milestone at 25 years, 7 months, and 17 days, with a group of accomplished fighters — including Robert Whittaker, Dustin Poirier, and Georges St-Pierre — all having done so at age 26.
