A historical comparison shows how the longest active win streaks in the UFC lightweight division have evolved over the past three years. Currently, Islam Makhachev leads with 16 consecutive victories, followed by Paddy Pimblett at 7, Renato Moicano at 6, and Arman Tsarukyan at 6. One year ago, Makhachev had 14, with Pimblett at 6 and three fighters tied at 5. Two years ago, Makhachev had 12, Moicano had 5, and several fighters including Tsarukyan were at 4. In April 2022, Charles Oliveira led with 10, Makhachev had 9, and Beneil Dariush was at 7.
