Lightweight division win streaks show dramatic shifts over two years

A historical comparison shows how active win streaks in the UFC lightweight division have changed dramatically. Currently, Islam Makhachev leads with 16 wins, followed by several fighters with four or five-fight streaks. One year ago, Makhachev had 14 wins with Paddy Pimblett at six and three fighters at five. Two years ago, Makhachev had 12 wins, with Renato Moicano and Pimblett at five and multiple fighters at four including Arman Tsarukyan. In April 2022, Charles Oliveira led with 10 wins, Makhachev had nine, and Beneil Dariush had seven. The data illustrates the volatility and turnover in one of the UFC's most competitive divisions.
