Lightweight division win streaks evolve dramatically over past two years

A comparison of the longest active winning streaks in the UFC lightweight division shows significant changes over the past two years. Currently, Islam Makhachev leads with 16 wins, followed by Paddy Pimblett at 8, Chase Hooper at 7, and Grant Dawson at 6. One year ago, Makhachev had 14 wins, with Pimblett at 6 and three fighters tied at 5. Two years ago, Makhachev had 12 wins, Renato Moicano and Pimblett had 5 each, and four fighters including Arman Tsarukyan had 4 wins. In April 2022, Charles Oliveira led with 10 wins, Makhachev had 9, Beneil Dariush had 7, and three fighters including Rafael Fiziev and Tsarukyan had 5 wins each. The data illustrates the constantly shifting competitive landscape of one of the UFC's most stacked divisions.
