UFC lightweight win streak rankings shift dramatically over two-year period

A comparison of active UFC lightweight winning streaks shows significant changes over the past two years. Currently, Islam Makhachev leads with a long streak, followed by several fighters with shorter runs. One year ago, Makhachev had 14 consecutive wins, with Paddy Pimblett at six and three fighters tied at five. Two years prior, Makhachev was at 12 wins with Renato Moicano and Pimblett at five each. In April 2022, Charles Oliveira led with 10, Makhachev had nine, and Beneil Dariush held seven consecutive victories. The data illustrates the volatility of winning streaks in one of the UFC's most competitive divisions.
