Islam Makhachev's 15-fight UFC win streak dominates lightweight division by large margin

Islam Makhachev holds a commanding 15-fight winning streak in the UFC lightweight division, far ahead of any competitors. The current top five active streaks show Makhachev well clear, with comparisons to the same rankings from one and two years ago revealing significant turnover. One year ago, Makhachev led with 14 wins, followed by Paddy Pimblett with six. Two years ago, he had 12 wins with Renato Moicano and Pimblett at five each. In April 2022, Charles Oliveira led with 10 wins, Makhachev had nine, and Beneil Dariush had seven. The historical comparison demonstrates both Makhachev's sustained dominance and the volatile nature of lightweight winning streaks.
