Lightweight division winning streaks show dramatic shifts over past two years

An analysis tracks how the longest active winning streaks in the UFC lightweight division have evolved over the past two years. Currently, the top streaks are led by Islam Makhachev at 14 consecutive victories, followed by Paddy Pimblett at six, and three fighters tied at five wins each: Chase Hooper, Nasrat Haqparast, and Fares Ziam. One year ago, the list showed Makhachev still leading but at 14 wins, with Pimblett at six and three fighters at five victories. Two years prior in April 2024, Makhachev had 12 straight wins while Renato Moicano, Pimblett, Drakkar Klose, Mike Davis, and Arman Tsarukyan each held four or five consecutive victories. Going back to April 2022, Charles Oliveira led with 10 wins, Makhachev had nine, Beneil Dariush had seven, and three fighters including Tsarukyan held five-fight streaks. The data illustrates both Makhachev's continued dominance and the volatile nature of momentum in the 155-pound division.
