Youngest champions
Youngest fighters to win an undisputed UFC title, by age on the day.
Reigns are derived from championship bouts. When a belt was vacated or stripped outside a title fight, the reign is shown ending at the next title fight in that division, so a few run long; a title awarded without a fight (José Aldo's in 2010, for one) starts at the champion's first UFC title fight.
109 fighters.
