Islam Makhachev extends lightweight win streak to 15 fights

A statistical analysis shows Islam Makhachev now leads the UFC lightweight division with a 15-fight winning streak, the longest active streak in the division. One year ago, Makhachev had a 14-fight streak with Paddy Pimblett second at six wins. Two years ago, Makhachev was at 12 wins with Renato Moicano and Pimblett tied at five. In April 2022, Charles Oliveira led with 10 consecutive wins, followed by Makhachev at nine and Beneil Dariush at seven. The comparison illustrates Makhachev's sustained dominance and how the division's winning streaks have evolved over the past two years.
