Rakhmonov, ranked third in the welterweight division, remains one of the most imposing figures in the 170-pound weight class. The 31-year-old Kazakh known as "Nomad" carries a perfect 19-0-0 professional record and stands six-foot-four with a 77-inch reach. His 60 percent striking accuracy is an elite mark for the division, and he supplements his standup with 1.2 submission attempts per 15 minutes, making him a threat across all phases of a fight.

Brazilian contender Gabriel Bonfim sits third on the streak list with five straight wins. Ranked tenth at welterweight, the 28-year-old nicknamed "Marretinha" holds a 19-1-0 record and trains out of Bonfim Brothers. At six-foot-one with a 72-inch reach, he lands 4.61 significant strikes per minute and averages 3.6 takedowns per 15 minutes — an aggressive, well-rounded output that has carried him steadily up the rankings.

Why it matters

  • Rakhmonov's perfect record and top-three ranking position him as a legitimate title contender at 170 pounds
  • Bonfim's combination of striking volume and takedown output makes him a stylistically dangerous opponent for anyone in the top ten
  • Multiple fighters clustering near four and five-fight streaks signals a competitive mid-tier that could reshape the welterweight rankings over the next year
