Longest Current Win Streak By Division

[BJ@LW&WW]

Rules: Draws break win streaks. In the case of a No Contest, the streak continues but that fight does not get counted in the win streak. If the fighter has fights in more than one weight class in that streak, those fights count but I'll try to make note of it. Fighters who have been inactive for more than two years don't count. Win streaks must be current.

Hard to find good win streaks at LHW right now because so many have been broken. Any good tips especially for that division welcome.

Was about to say Bas but he has that draw with Shibuya,

Jason Reinhardt was 18-0 with wins over nobody notable at LW im fairly certain.

Didn't realize it was active winstreaks either, sorry.

Soa is at 11 right now.

[BJ@LW&WW]

Nice ones paul thx. i had no idea palelei was on such a mean streak. I coulda sworn he lost in the UFC but i guess im imagining things

edit: ahh nvm he did lose and made a come back. nice real nice.

 

[Paul L]

Also http://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Vagab-Vagabov-78863 for Middleweight. He's either on a 13 fight streak or a 10 fight streak, depending on if you trust the UG's database for a loss in mid 2010 here.

 

[Bigj383]

Jon Jones is on an 11 fight win streak.

 

[BJ@LW&WW]

thx. for simplicity sake, I take sherdogs records as being 'official'.

do u have any source for his last fight being at MW?

Oddly enough I think it was LHW. This is the closest record I could find with his weight.

Nice. Wow i didnt know thiago tavares was droppin to FW again.

 

[Kalmah]

You missed bantamweight and flyweight.

 

[DamnSevern]

Bekbulat Magomedov 13-0 FW

ill add some more later

 

[BJ@LW&WW]

You missed bantamweight and flyweight.

and superflyweight and strawweight as well. but i guess you let the ufc dictate which divisions a person should care about.

 

[DrGlaze]

At LHW Michal Pasternak is on a 9 fight win streak and Matej Batinic is on an 8 fight winning streak.

 

[Lead]

Julio Cesar is an example of how many fights these younger/lighter weight class guys could rack up in their career. Even if the guy became a champ and fought twice a year, he could still rack up well over 60 fights.

 

[Lead]

Very good thread idea. I approve.

July 19th UFN: Gunnar Nelson vs. 11-0 Ryan LaFlare

This should be interesting. Both guys seem super technical.

 

[BJ@LW&WW]

At LHW Michal Pasternak is on a 9 fight win streak and Matej Batinic is on an 8 fight winning streak.

Thanks. I'm gonna try to keep the win streaks at 10 or above unless I really run out of fighters to list.

This should be interesting. Both guys seem super technical.

I've never actually seen LaFlare fight yet, but it's hard to imagine a relatively unknown fighter beating Gunny for me. Karate style stand up + a wicked ground game is a deadly combo and the guy is only 25. I think he's maybe got the most potential out of any WW right now other than maybe Rory.
