About Youngest Fighters to Win a UFC Fight

Every fighter ranked by how young they were at their first UFC win

The youngest fighters ever to get their hand raised in the UFC, ranked by age on the night of their first UFC win. Most of the list is made of prospects signed straight out of the regional scene - and a few who went on to become champions.

For the other end of the scale see the oldest fighters to win a UFC fight and the youngest UFC champions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is number one for Youngest Fighters to Win a UFC Fight?
Raul Rosas Jr., with 18.2 AGE. Second: Sage Northcutt (19.6). Third: Vitor Belfort (19.9). Counted from UFC bouts recorded on MMA.SOCIAL — UFC appearances only, not a fighter's full professional record.
Who is the youngest fighter to win a UFC fight?
Raul Rosas Jr. He was 18 years and two months old when he submitted Jay Perrin at UFC 282 in December 2022.
How is the age worked out?
From the fighter's recorded date of birth to the date of their first UFC win, in years to one decimal place. Only fights that have taken place and have a winner count, so a debut that ended in a draw or a no contest is not the start. Fighters without a recorded date of birth cannot be ranked.
Who is the youngest UFC champion?
Jon Jones. He was 23 when he stopped Mauricio Rua for the light heavyweight title at UFC 128 in March 2011 - see our youngest UFC champions board.
