MMA isn’t a sport built around records, but when records come up, they frequently center on dominance. Longest win streaks, most knockouts, most submissions and most title defenses are the sorts of feats that get talked about most frequently. For my money, the single most consequential MMA record is most consecutive title defenses because of the difficulty involved in maintaining consistent dominance over one’s division for an extended period of time.
