1. Islam Makhachev (16-Fight Win Streak)
Pro Record: 28-1
Streak Started: September 17, 2016 (vs. Chris Wade)
Islam makhachev current win streak 16-0, march 2026.Islam Makhachev currently sits atop the mountain with the longest active win streak in the UFC. His journey began with a clinical unanimous decision over Chris Wade back in 2016. Since then, he has dismantled every opponent put in front of him. Following his recent victory over Jack Della Maddalena, Makhachev has extended his streak to a staggering 16 wins, proving why he is the pound-for-pound king.
2. Movsar Evloev (10-Fight Win Streak)
Pro Record: 20-0
Streak Started: April 20, 2019
Movsar Evloev is the definition of a “grinder.” With an undefeated professional record of 20-0, 10 of those wins have come consecutively within the UFC—all via unanimous or split decision. While his elite clinch work and wrestling are undeniable, Dana White has been hesitant to grant him a title shot due to his lack of finishes. Even after his most recent victory over Lerone Murphy, Evloev is still waiting for official confirmation on his championship aspirations.
3. Khamzat Chimaev (9-Fight Win Streak)
Pro Record: 15-0
Streak Started: July 15, 2020
”Borz” is perhaps the most feared man in the promotion. Known for his terrifying pace, only Gilbert Burns has truly tested his chin and cardio so far. Chimaev debuted in 2020 and has since steamrolled through 9 straight opponents. The hype train is currently at full speed as he prepares for a massive showdown against Sean Strickland at UFC 328. Will his grappling be enough to neutralize Strickland’s boxing?
4. Ilia Topuria (9-Fight Win Streak)
Pro Record: 17-0
Streak Started: October 10, 2020
”El Matador” burst onto the scene with a unanimous decision win over Youssef Zalal and hasn’t looked back. Now a two-division champion, Topuria has solidified himself as a global superstar with 9 consecutive UFC wins. His next test is a “BMF” style clash against the human highlight reel, Justin Gaethje, on the White House card. Topuria’s mix of elite boxing and high-level grappling makes him a threat to any legacy.
5. Carlos Ulberg (9-Fight Win Streak)
Pro Record: 13-1
Streak Started: February 12, 2022 (vs. Fabio Cherant)
Carlos Ulberg had a rocky start to his career, but since his unanimous decision win against Fabio Cherant, he has been on a tear. With 9 straight wins, “Black Jag” is now knocking on the door of the elite. His momentum leads him to a high-stakes battle at UFC 327 against the former champion, Jiri Prochazka. This fight will determine if Ulberg’s technical striking can withstand the “Samurai” chaos of Jiri.
