Lightweight division win streak rankings show major shifts over past two years

A comparison of the longest active win streaks in the UFC lightweight division reveals significant changes over the past two years. Currently, Islam Makhachev leads with 16 wins, followed by Paddy Pimblett with 7, and several fighters tied at 5 wins. One year ago, Makhachev had 14 wins with Pimblett at 6, while two years ago Makhachev had 12 with multiple fighters at 4-5 wins including Arman Tsarukyan. In April 2022, Charles Oliveira led with 10 consecutive wins, Makhachev had 9, and Beneil Dariush had 7. The analysis demonstrates the volatile nature of winning streaks in one of the UFC's most competitive divisions.
