| ^ | Rashad Evans | 5 | 2005-2007 |
* These fighters have competed and lost outside of UFC during the streak timeframe.
^ Rashad Evan’s win streak doesn’t include the three victories he earned during the Season 2 of The Ultimate Fighter series. While most bouts on the The Ultimate Fighter were and continue to be considered exhibition bouts, all fights that took place during Season 2 are considered as professional MMA bouts by Nevada State Athletic Commission (see NSAC official results). Including Season 2 fights brings Rashad’s total to 8 consecutive wins, placing him in a tie with Jon Fitch, Royce Gracie, and Lyoto Machida at #2 in this list.
Records reflect UFC bouts only.
All fighters with 6 or more consecutive wins in the UFC are included.
Some interesting facts:
- Royce Gracie’s 8 wins were achieved over the course of just 3 events (UFC 1, 2, and 3 tournaments). Gracie would have had 11 consecutive wins on his record had he dropped out of the UFC 3 tournament between bouts, instead of stepping into the Octagon and having his corner immediately throw in the towel in his bout against Harold Howard.
- Chuck Liddell & Matt Hughes are the only fighters with multiple streaks of 6 or more consecutive wins in the UFC. Tito Ortiz holds an additional streak of 5 wins.
- Roger Huerta’s 6 wins were accomplished within 15 months of his first UFC bout – a record in the post-tournament era.

Tito screwed up Chucks legacy by not fighting him. If Chuck takes Tito’s belt when he should have then I don’t believe he ever loses the fight to Randy.
He said before that fight (in confidence) he didn’t want to hurt Randy and was seriously worried about doing so. If the title was on the line I don’t think that happens.
He would have had 15 wins in a row, and 8 title defenses.
Tito is such a pussy, his timing in this sport has been so lucky. Won the title after F. Shamrock leaves the UFC, refuses to fight Chuck. Always fought fighters either on there way up or down. Anytime he has come up against someone at the top he has lost. Tito is a gatekeeper, no more.

Depends on how you count it. His last win was in 2008.
