* These fighters have competed and lost outside of UFC during the streak timeframe.
^ All fights that took place during Season 2 of The Ultimate Fighter series are considered as professional MMA bouts by Nevada State Athletic Commission (see NSAC official results here).
All fights in all other seasons of The Ultimate Fighter are considered exhibition bouts. In effect, Rashad Evans holds 8 consecutive wins in proffesional fights taking place in the UFC Octagon, even though only 5 of them took place in “official” UFC events.
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.
- Royce Gracie, Jon Fitch, Chuck Liddell, Anderson Silva, Thiago Alves, and Lyoto Machida are the only fighters to achieve 7 or more consecutive UFC wins with no losses outside of UFC during the same timeframe.
- 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.
