Joshua Van achieved his 10th UFC victory at 24 years and 7 months old, making him the second-youngest fighter to reach this milestone. Only Max Holloway was younger, reaching 10 UFC wins at 23 years, 8 months, and 19 days. Jon Jones is third on the list at 24 years, 9 months, and 2 days, followed by Kevin Lee at 25 years, 7 months, and 17 days. Several other notable fighters including Song Yadong, Robert Whittaker, Dustin Poirier, and Georges St-Pierre reached the milestone at age 26. This statistical achievement highlights Van's rapid ascent in the UFC following his title-winning performance at UFC 328.
Joshua Van cemented his place in UFC history on Saturday night at UFC 328, becoming the second-youngest fighter ever to record ten wins inside the octagon at just 24 years and 7 months old.
The flyweight champion from Myanmar, now 17-2-0, trails only Max Holloway on the all-time list. Holloway reached the ten-win mark at 23 years, 8 months, and 19 days — a benchmark Van came close to but could not surpass. Jon Jones sits third on the list at 24 years, 9 months, and 2 days, with Kevin Lee fourth at 25 years, 7 months, and 17 days. Notable names including Song Yadong, Robert Whittaker, Dustin Poirier, and Georges St-Pierre all reached the milestone at age 26.
Van, who fights out of 4oz. Fight Club and stands five-foot-five with a 65-inch reach, has put together one of the most efficient striking profiles in the UFC. He lands 8.84 significant strikes per minute at 56 percent accuracy — numbers that rank among the elite across all divisions. The title-winning performance at UFC 328 served as the exclamation point on a historic early career run.
Holloway, now 27-9-0 and ranked fourth in the lightweight division at 34 years old, remains the only fighter to have cleared this milestone at a younger age. The Hawaiian averaged 7.2 significant strikes per minute across his career, making the comparison between the two high-output strikers a natural one.
Why it matters
- Van's ten UFC wins at 24 place him ahead of all-time greats including Jones and GSP on this milestone list
- As reigning flyweight champion, the achievement signals he may be entering his prime years with the belt already in hand
- His striking volume of 8.84 significant strikes per minute suggests a style built for sustained, high-level dominance
