A statistical breakdown reveals the youngest fighters to accumulate 10 victories in the UFC. Max Holloway leads the list, reaching the milestone at just 23 years, 8 months, and 19 days old. Joshua Van achieved it at 24 years and 7 months, while Jon Jones reached 10 wins at 24 years, 9 months, and 2 days. Kevin Lee accomplished the feat at 25 years, 7 months, and 17 days. Several other fighters including Song, Whittaker, Poirier, Matthews, Gastelum, Andrade, Lineker, and GSP all reached 10 UFC wins at age 26. This data highlights the exceptional early success of fighters like Holloway who achieved significant win totals at a very young age.
A statistical deep-dive has identified Max Holloway as the youngest fighter ever to reach 10 UFC victories, accomplishing the feat at just 23 years, 8 months, and 19 days old — a record that underscores how remarkably early his career took flight.
Holloway, now 34, holds a professional record of 27-9-0 and is currently ranked fourth in the lightweight division and ninth in the pound-for-pound standings. The Hawaiian represents Gracie Technics and fights out of an orthodox stance at five-foot-eleven with a 69-inch reach. One of the most prolific volume strikers in UFC history, Holloway lands 7.2 significant strikes per minute, a number that has defined his relentless, pressure-heavy style across two decades of competition.
Joshua Van sits second on the list, reaching 10 UFC wins at 24 years and 7 months. The current flyweight champion, just 24 years old, carries a 17-2-0 record and fights out of Myanmar. Van lands an extraordinary 8.84 significant strikes per minute at 56 percent accuracy, making him one of the most efficient offensive fighters in the sport today.
Jon Jones, whose 28-1-0 record stands as one of the most dominant in UFC history, reached the 10-win mark at 24 years, 9 months, and 2 days. The six-foot-four orthodox fighter boasts an 84-inch reach and connects at 58 percent striking accuracy alongside 1.89 takedowns per 15 minutes.
Kevin Lee joins the list as the fourth member of the under-26 club, hitting the milestone at 25 years, 7 months, and 17 days. A larger group — including GSP, Whittaker, Poirier, and several others — reached 10 UFC wins at age 26.
Why it matters
- Holloway's record reflects elite-level consistency and durability from an unusually young age
- Van's inclusion at 24 signals a potential generational talent already holding championship gold
- The data illustrates how rare it is to accumulate 10 UFC wins before the age of 25, a threshold only a handful of fighters have ever cleared
