Winning fights in the welterweight division has never been easy. The weight class currently features the number one pound-for-pund fighter in the sport as its champion in Kamaru Usman. In the past, all-time greats like Georges St-Pierre have held the 170 lb belt.
On top of that, as the sport has become increasingly popular, the level of competition in the promotion has only continued to rise. This makes it all the more impressive that a number of the names on this list remain active in the octagon and are continuing to pick up wins.

#5. Kamaru Usman - 15 UFC welterweight wins
Kamaru Usman may very well top this list before too long. The current welterweight champion is the no. 1 pound-4-pound fighter on the roster and is yet to taste defeat inside the octagon.
During his time with the promotion, ‘The Nigerian Nightmare’ has picked up wins against some of the very best competition. His knockouts of Gilbert Burns and Jorge Masvidal stand out as do his two tightly-contested battles with Colby Covington.

Leon Edwards is expected to be the next fight up for the reigning champion. Usman will be a heavy favorite heading into that one, with many expecting him to add to his already impressive tally of wins. After that, perhaps it could be time for a highly-anticipated bout with Khamzat Chimaev.
