UFC lightweight division win streaks evolve dramatically over two years

A detailed comparison shows how UFC lightweight win streaks have changed significantly. Currently, Islam Makhachev leads with 16 consecutive wins, followed by Ian Machado Garry (15), Shavkat Rakhmonov (11), Paddy Pimblett (7), and Nasrat Haqparast (7). One year ago, the list was headed by Makhachev (14), with much shorter streaks from Pimblett (6) and three fighters tied at 5 wins. Two years ago, Makhachev had 12 wins, Renato Moicano and Pimblett had 5, while Arman Tsarukyan and others had 4. In April 2022, Charles Oliveira led with 10, Makhachev had 9, and Beneil Dariush had 7. The evolution shows how quickly the divisional landscape shifts.
