Quick read
Statistical analysis reveals the light heavyweight division currently has the weakest competitive depth in the UFC when measured by winning streaks. According to the infographic, zero fighters in the top 15 at 205 pounds are on three-fight winning streaks or longer, excluding the champion. Only one fighter in the entire top 15 has any winning streak at all, and that is Paulo Costa, who earned one of those victories at middleweight before moving up. This stands in stark contrast to the welterweight division, which is cited as the most competitive and deepest in the promotion. The data was compiled during production of a video episode. The analysis highlights an unusual lack of momentum and clear contenders in the light heavyweight rankings.
