Light heavyweight division lacks winning streaks, only Costa on current run

Quick read

An infographic reveals that no fighters in the UFC light heavyweight top-15 are currently on winning streaks of three or more fights, excluding the champion. More remarkably, only one fighter in the entire top-15 has any winning streak at all, and that fighter is Paulo Costa, whose streak includes a victory earned while still competing at middleweight. The analysis contrasts the welterweight division, considered the most competitive and deep, with the light heavyweight division which shows the opposite pattern. The data highlights an unusual lack of momentum and consecutive victories in the 205-pound weight class.
