Lightweight division's longest win streaks tracked over three years

A historical analysis tracked the evolution of the longest active winning streaks in the UFC lightweight division over a three-year period, revealing significant turnover. Currently, the top active streaks are led by Islam Makhachev's 15-fight run, followed by several fighters with shorter sequences. One year ago, the list was headed by Makhachev at 14 wins, with Paddy Pimblett at 6 and three fighters tied at 5 victories. Two years prior, Makhachev led with 12 wins, while Renato Moicano and Pimblett each had 5, and several fighters including Arman Tsarukyan sat at 4. In April 2022, Charles Oliveira topped the division with 10 consecutive victories, Makhachev had 9, Beneil Dariush had 7, and multiple fighters including Rafael Fiziev and Tsarukyan held 5-fight streaks. The data illustrates the dynamic nature of lightweight competition and the difficulty of maintaining long winning streaks in one of the UFC's deepest divisions.
