Most UFC fights in a single year

Counted over any rolling twelve months rather than a calendar year, so a run that straddles New Year still counts as the run it was. This is the only board here that is a record rather than an average, which makes it the fairest to a short career: you cannot pad it, you either had the year or you did not. The tournament era sits at the top of the all-time list for a reason — Don Frye and Dan Severn each fought ten times in twelve months when a single night could mean three bouts. Switch to the modern era for the post-2000 record.
