#4. Anderson Silva - 11 wins
In his prime, Anderson Silva may have been the most dominant fighter fans have ever seen in the UFC. He capitalized on this with an incredible run of 11 straight title fight victories, all coming at middleweight. He first won gold with a first-round finish of Rich Franklin in just his second fight with the promotion.
Of his first four title defenses, he finished every opponent inside the distance, beating Nate Marquardt, Rich Franklin, Dan Henderson, and Patrick Côté. Next came the only two decision wins of his title reign in fights against Thales Leites and Demian Maia. Normal service was then resumed with four subsequent finishes in his next four title fights.
After defeating Chael Sonnen (twice), Vitor Belfort, and Yushin Okami, he suffered his first loss in a title fight to Chris Weidman. He went on lose a rematch with Weidman and never fought for a belt again. With that being said, he has since successfully re-invented himself in the world of professional boxing.
#3. Demetrious Johnson - 12 wins
Demetrious Johnson may currently be competing in ONE Championship, but his run in the UFC is still record-breaking in a number of ways. He was the inaugural flyweight champion and had 12 successful title fights in that division. He became the inaugural champ with a split decision win over Joseph Benavidez.
He then defeated John Dodson and John Moraga before beating Benavidez again in a rematch. He added four more wins over Ali Bagautinov, Chris Cariaso, Kyoji Horiguchi, and Dodson again. Then came his first bout against Henry Cejudo, whom he finished in the first round to take his tally up to nine.
After taking out Tim Elliot, Wilson Reis, and Ray Borg (a bout that set the UFC record for successful title defenses), he finally suffered a defeat via split decision in the rematch with Cejudo, ending his time in the UFC. He appears unlikely to return, as he has stated he intends to remain in ONE Championship for the rest of his career.
