#2. Khamzat Chimaev - UFC welterweight - 3 in a row
Khamzat Chimaev has been mauling his opponents since his UFC debut back in July, 2020. While that fight made it into the second round, Chimaev has not allowed any of his opponents to do so since. The streak has seen Chimaev go from virtual unknown to possibly one fight away from a title shot.

Impressively, Chimaev's streak has seen him record stoppages at both welterweight and middleweight. It began with a TKO win over Rhys McKee at welterweight just 10 days after his octagon debut. He then stunningly knocked out Gerald Meerschaert in just 17 seconds at middleweight.

He then took on his first ranked opponent in Li Jingliang but once again made quick work of it. That first-round submission saw Chimaev enter the rankings himself for the first time at no. 11. He could once again shoot up the rankings if he is able to defeat no. 2 Gilbert Burns, who he is scheduled to face on April 9.
#1. Terrance McKinney - UFC lightweight - 5 in a row
Terrance McKinney may prove to be the break-out star of 2022, having only debuted with the promotion last year. The debut was a stunning seven-second KO over Matt Frevola and while that was his first bout with the promotion, it was the fourth stoppage of his streak.
McKinney's current run began on the regional circuit when he scored a 16-second stoppage at SHP 59. He took one second longer in his next fight at LFA 106 and when the fight after that took a little over a minute, the UFC finally came calling for this rising star.
After his stunning debut, McKinney followed it up with a very impressive first-round submission of Fares Ziam where he showed a new dimension to his game. While that fight was just two weeks ago, he has now volunteered to step in against Drew Dober on short notice this Saturday.
If McKinney is able to make it six first-round finishes in a row, the UFC could have a massive star on their hands.
