#4. Matt Hughes - 15 UFC welterweight wins
Matt Hughes is a UFC legend who has held the welterweight title on two separate occasions. He first fought for the promotion back in 1999 and first won the belt in 2001 when he defeated Carlos Newton. After five successful title defenses, that title run came to an end at the hands of B.J. Penn in 2004.
Hughes quickly turned things around, however, and just two fights later he defeated Georges St-Pierre to reclaim welterweight gold. He would win four more fights, including beating B.J. Penn in a rematch before eventually dropping the belt in his second fight with St-Pierre.
The former champion would fight both St-Pierre and Penn for a third time, ultimately falling short on both occasions. This eventually led to his last fight in 2011 after which he retired from the sport. In any case, he successfully cemented himself as a welterweight great during his lengthy octagon career.
#3. Matt Brown - 16 UFC welterweight wins
Matt Brown has the most UFC fights in welterweight history and is incredibly continuing to add to that record at the age of 41. While he may not have quite as decorated a resume as the other fighters on this list, Brown’s still won an impressive 16 wins in his 29 octagon bouts.
Brown has not competed for a title thus far in his career but once competed in a title eliminator bout after a seven-fight winning streak. He’s also competed against some of the biggest names in the division, including Robbie Lawler and Donald Cerrone and he even owns a win over Stephen Thompson.
While Brown’s results have become increasingly mixed towards the end of his career, he’s continued to pick up wins, going 3-3 in his last six. Last time out, ‘The Immortal’ suffered a narrow split decision loss to Bryan Barberena. Despite that, don’t be surprised if he adds another win or two before calling it a career.
