  • Anderson Silva holds the longest win streak in UFC history with 16.
  • Silva’s streak was during his reign as the undisputed UFC middleweight champion.
  • Conor McGregor’s longest UFC streak is seven, while Francis Ngannou's was six.

The UFC odds of a fighter earning a title shot can be accelerated by winning consecutive fights. Through these streaks, they place themselves in the rankings, their popularity increases significantly, and it’s the fastest way to obtain a championship match.

Winning multiple fights in a row under the world’s leading MMA promotion is difficult because it houses the sport’s best athletes. However, several fighters have achieved immortality by setting the record for the longest win streak in UFC history.

Who Has the Longest Win Streak in UFC History?

The record holder for the longest win streak in UFC history is Anderson Silva, who has 16.

Silva’s streak began in June 2006 during his UFC debut until October 2012 with a first-round TKO finish of Stephan Bonnar.

Chris Weidman ended his streak in July 2013 when he was knocked out in the second round of their UFC middleweight title fight. Since that loss to Weidman, “The Spider” was only able to win one more match in the promotion before retiring in November 2020.

Who Has the Most Win Streaks in UFC History?

Following Silva on the list of the longest win streak in UFC history are Kamaru Usman (15), Jon Jones (13), Demetrious Johnson (13), Khabib Nurmagomedov (13), Max Holloway (13), Islam Makhachev (13), Amanda Nunes (12), Tony Ferguson (12), and Alexander Volkanovski (12).

What is Conor McGregor’s Win Streak?

Conor McGregor’s longest win streak in the UFC is seven. It started in April 2013 and continued until December 2015 when he beat José Aldo to become the undisputed UFC featherweight champion with a 13-second knockout finish.

What is Francis Ngannou’s Win Streak?

The former UFC heavyweight champion accumulated two six-straight wins in the UFC. His first streak began in December 2015 and ended in December 2017 by beating Luis Henrique, Curtis Blaydes, Bojan Mihajlovic, Anthony Hamilton, Andrei Arlovski, and Alistair Overeem.

Back-to-back losses via Stipe Miocic and Derrick Lewis ended his streak.

Fortunately for “The Predator,” he piled up six consecutive wins from November 2018 to January 2022, with victories over Blaydes (in their rematch), Cain Velasquez, Junior dos Santos, Jairzinho Rozenstruik, Miocic, and Ciryl Gane.
