Winning UFC title fights is the goal of every fighter on the roster. Very few competitors ever get the chance to fight for a championship, and only the very best are able to win multiple of these bouts in the organization. Out of every champion in UFC history, five fighters have made it to double digits in this department.
#5. Amanda Nunes - 10 wins
Amanda Nunes entered this list by regaining her bantamweight championship this past Saturday against Julianna Peña. The win marked her 10th title fight victory in total — seven at bantamweight and three at featherweight. With her now holding both belts once again, this number could easily rise.
Her first of these wins came back at UFC 200 when she defeated Meisha Tate for the bantamweight belt. She then added three successful defenses over Ronda Rousey, Valentina Shevchenko, and Raquel Pennington. At that point, 'The Lionness' moved up a weight class and won her second title with a victory over Cris Cyborg at featherweight.

Once she obtained double-champ status, Nunes stayed active in both weight classes. She defended the bantamweight title twice, beating Holly Holm and Germaine de Randamie — next came two defenses at featherweight that saw her beat Felicia Spencer and Megan Anderson. While she then lost to Julianna Peña, Nunes has since extracted her revenge, so who knows how many more title fight wins she could get.
