Max Holloway set the record for reaching 10 UFC victories at the youngest age in the promotion's history, accomplishing the feat at just 23 years, 8 months, and 19 days old — a benchmark that has stood the test of time as Holloway himself has gone on to become one of the sport's most decorated competitors.
Now 34 years old and ranked fourth in the lightweight division as well as ninth in the pound-for-pound standings, Holloway carries a professional record of 27-9-0. Fighting out of Gracie Technics, the orthodox striker from the United States remains one of the most prolific volume fighters in UFC history, averaging 7.2 significant strikes landed per minute at 48 percent accuracy.
The second spot on the list belongs to current flyweight champion Joshua Van, known as "The Fearless," who reached the milestone at 24 years and 7 months. The 24-year-old from Myanmar holds a record of 17-2-0 and is among the most accurate and active strikers in the sport, landing 8.84 significant strikes per minute at 56 percent accuracy.
Jon Jones, widely regarded as one of the greatest fighters to compete in the octagon, ranks third on the list, having reached 10 UFC wins at 24 years, 9 months, and 2 days. Now 38 and carrying a record of 28-1-0, Jones stands six-foot-four with an 84-inch reach and averaged 1.89 takedowns per 15 minutes throughout his career.
Kevin Lee reached the same milestone at 25 years, 7 months, and 17 days, placing fourth. A group of notable fighters — including Song Yadong, Robert Whittaker, and Dustin Poirier — all achieved 10 UFC wins at age 26.
Why it matters
- Holloway's early dominance in UFC win accumulation reflects how quickly he established himself as an elite-level competitor
- Current flyweight champion Joshua Van's presence at second on the list signals a generational talent still near the start of his peak years
- The list spans multiple divisions and eras, underscoring how rare it is to reach 10 UFC wins before or around the age of 24
