List of UFC champions with most wins
The UFC championships are considered to be the epitome of achievements in Mixed Martial Arts. An MMA fighter who gets hold of the title gets a special place in the history books. Though the importance of the UFC championship has taken a hit recently, it is still one of the most prized possessions in the sport.
Getting hold of the UFC championship is not an easy task. Holding on to it, meanwhile, is something more daunting. A lot of fighters have succeeded in doing the former while failing miserably at doing the latter.
In this list, we will be taking a look at some of the best UFC fighters that managed not only to win the UFC championship but also defend it on multiple occasions. So without further ado, here is the list of UFC champions with the most wins.
#5 Jose Aldo
A good portion of the MMA fans only remember Jose Aldo for the 13-second KO defeat that the Brazilian suffered against Conor McGregor. What they fail to see is the dominant run that Aldo had as the UFC Featherweight champion.
He started his run as the UFC Featherweight champion back in 2010 and managed to keep the title around his waist for five long years. In this time period, Aldo defeated names like Mark Hominick, Kenny Florian, Chad Mendes, Frankie Edgar and Chang Sung Jung among others.
When everything was done and dusted, Aldo had seven successful title defences to his name in the UFC Featherweight division. If we count his run as the WEC Featherweight champion as well, then the number goes up to nine. This stat alone would be enough to categorize Aldo as one of the best UFC champions out there. In fact, he also belongs to the list of best UFC fighters out there.
