UFC Records: Fitch, Silva march on

With a hard-fought decision victory over Chris Wilson, Jon Fitch did not only assure himself a shot at the UFC’s Welterweight title.  He also reached an important milestone in the MMA history by becoming the first fighter in the post-tournament era to achieve eight consecutive wins in the UFC (read about why this record may be disputed). 

Following not far behind Fitch is UFC’s Middleweight champion Anderson Silva.  Silva posted his 6th straight victory in the Octagon, defending his belt for the third time.   The current record for most consecutive title defenses is shared by former champions Matt Hughes and Tito Ortiz, with five each.  Silva would have been within an earshot of joining them, had Travis Lutter made weight for their UFC 67 bout (Silva defeated Lutter by triangle choke in the second round of what ended up being a non-title match.)

- Fighters who have not fought in 450 days or more ARE NOT RANKED UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.

- Use the "Fighter Search" option in the upper-right of the page. The fighter may be ranked in a different division.

- Most of the divisions have multiple pages beyond this one. See the clickable ranges above and below the ranking table.

Furthermore, we do not maintain the "next fight" data. This is gathered from Sherdog. Any issues regarding this data should be forwarded to them.
