Saw the thread about Jon Jones unbreakable records and then watched a video on unbreakable UFC records. Thought it would be interesting to share and get opinions on.

Here are some UFC records. I am no expert, so please correct me if any of the records are broken already.
Which ones are the most likely to stand forever? Which ones are the most impressive to you?

Any other unbreakable records feel free to add

-Fastest knockout in UFC history 5 seconds. Jorge Masvidal vs Ben Askren

-Most fights in the UFC (Jim Miller has 40 fights)
-Most wins in UFC history (Jim Miller, 24)
- Most total fight time - Rafael Dos Anjos 8 hours 1 minute and 49 seconds
-Most PPV main events - Randy Couture at 18
-Most finishes - Charles Oliveira - 19
-Most knockouts - Derrik Lewis at 13
-Most significant strikes landed - Max Halloway - 2975

 
On the one hand, records are made to be beaten. Most of those will fall. On the other hand, there's certain kinds of records that stand for a long time. I think Masvidal's KO is more or less the shortest plausible timeframe for KOing someone if you start off 20 feet away form each other. If someone beats it, it will be within the margin of error (because KOs aren't timed to the tenth of a second.)

Youngest champ should get harder to beat if the sport gets stronger. I could maybe see it happening on the women's side; some young wrestler.
 
Can't see anyone breaking Masvidals record anytime soon. I still can't believe someone as intelligent as Ben displayed such piss poor fight IQ.
With no real striking skills, he was very limited in his options of what to do in that moment. That was really his only option is to shoot for a takedown. He doesn't have the footwork to move out the way either.

He's set up takedowns his entire career from clinches and a lot of dirty boxing, as well as countering shots. He definitely had options.
 
His records aren't numerically unbreakable over the long haul(like 50-100 years) the core of Jones's greatness is the level of competition he fought while winning 16 title fights(and the Bader fight). With most champs you've got a few legendary feats with a majority of meh opponents(for title contenders). This was true of AS it was true of GSP. With Jones the ratios reversed.

I think Jones can beat the most title fight wins. Does that count?

Likewise Miller can break both his records. Jones has to be pretty close to most wins too.

Yeah those count too. I think jones will break lots of his own records within the next 2 years
