Light heavyweight division has no fighters on three-fight win streaks in top 15

Quick read

An analysis of UFC divisional momentum reveals striking disparities across weight classes. The light heavyweight division stands out negatively, with zero fighters in the top 15 currently riding three-fight win streaks. Furthermore, only one fighter in the entire top 15 has any active win streak at all, and that fighter is Paulo Costa, who earned one of those victories while still competing at middleweight. In stark contrast, the welterweight division is considered the most competitive and deep in the UFC roster. The infographic excludes champions from the calculation and shows how many top-15 and top-5 fighters in each division are on winning streaks of three or more fights. The data underscores how light heavyweight has become the inverse of competitive depth compared to other divisions.
