Lightweight division win streaks compared over three-year period

A comparison shows how dramatically UFC lightweight win streaks have evolved over three years. Currently, the longest active streaks are led by Islam Makhachev at 14 wins, followed by Paddy Pimblett at 6, and three fighters tied at 5 wins. One year ago, Makhachev also led with 14, but the supporting cast differed with Pimblett at 6 and several fighters at 5. Two years prior, Makhachev had 12 wins with Renato Moicano, Pimblett, Drakkar Klose, Mike Davis, and Arman Tsarukyan following. In April 2022, Charles Oliveira led with 10, Makhachev had 9, Beneil Dariush had 7, with Claudio Puelles, Rafael Fiziev, and Tsarukyan at 5 each. The data illustrates the volatile nature of momentum in one of the UFC's most competitive divisions.
