Lightweight division's active win streaks have shifted dramatically over past two years

A breakdown of the longest active winning streaks in the UFC lightweight division shows significant changes over the past two years. Currently, the top streaks include Islam Makhachev at 14 wins, followed by fighters with six and five victories. One year ago, the list was headed by Makhachev at 14, with Paddy Pimblett at six and three fighters tied at five. Two years ago, Makhachev had 12 wins, Renato Moicano and Pimblett had five each, and several fighters including Arman Tsarukyan were at four. In April 2022, Charles Oliveira led with 10 wins, Makhachev had nine, Beneil Dariush had seven, and multiple fighters including Tsarukyan and Rafael Fiziev had five-fight streaks. The historical comparison illustrates the volatile nature of lightweight rankings and win streaks.
