Like in any sport, the world of UFC and MMA is one so often based around momentum. Well, that and the ability to both give and take a good shot or two.

The point being, so many times we've seen fighters gone on winning streaks that have seen their career skyrocket as they become propelled towards greatness - more often than not resulting in championship gold being around their waist.

In a world where competitors simply refuse to be beat, each and every win is a big thing. Each fight is pivotal, each victory can be career-changing. From fight to fight, a combatant could see their stock rise to the top or hit an all-time low.

Here, though, we're looking to showcase those fighters who went from strength to strength on absolutely stunning streaks of success. To think, any one fight could have gone the other way if an opponent just landed one shot or grabbed a good hold of one submission - that makes these streaks impressive on a huge, huge level.

With that in mind, then, here are the ten biggest win streaks in the history of the Ultimate Fighting Championship.

10. Amanda Nunes (9)

To start off this list, we've got Amanda Nunes - a fighter whose nine-fight win streak is still active right now.

In an ongoing streak that goes back to a 2015 Fight Night card, Nunes has beaten a who's who of female fighters in this current streak - names like Ronda Rousey, Holly Holm, Cris Cyborg, Miesha Tate and Shayna Baszler just some of the fighters to have been bested by The Lioness.

Making this even more impressive, Nunes is the only woman to become a two-division UFC champion and is currently the holder of both the UFC Women's Bantamweight Championship and the UFC Women's Featherweight Championship.

Right now, the Brazilian badass is ranked as the fifth best pound-for-pound fighter in UFC behind only Daniel Cormier, Khabib Nurmagomedov, Jon Jones, and Henry Cejudo.

What's scary for the women of the UFC is that Amanda Nunes doesn't look like slowing down any time soon as she looks to extend her current nine-fight winning streak.
