Longest active lightweight winning streaks tracked over three years

An analysis was presented showing the longest active winning streaks in the UFC lightweight division at three different time periods. Currently, Islam Makhachev leads with 16 consecutive wins, followed by Paddy Pimblett with 7, and Fares Ziam with 6. One year ago in May 2025, Makhachev had 14 wins with Pimblett at 6 and three fighters tied at 5. Two years ago in May 2024, Makhachev had 12 wins, with Renato Moicano and Pimblett both at 5, and Arman Tsarukyan among several at 4. In April 2022, Charles Oliveira led with 10, Makhachev had 9, Beneil Dariush had 7, and three fighters including Tsarukyan, Rafael Fiziev, and Claudio Puelles each had 5. The data illustrates the evolution of divisional momentum and demonstrates Makhachev's sustained dominance.
