A comparative analysis shows how winning streaks in the UFC lightweight division have evolved over the past three years. Currently, Islam Makhachev leads with 16 consecutive wins, followed by Chase Hooper with six and several fighters at five wins. One year ago, Makhachev had 14 wins, with Paddy Pimblett at six and three fighters tied at five including Nasrat Haqparast and Fares Ziam. Two years prior, Makhachev had 12 wins, Renato Moicano and Pimblett each had five, while Drakkar Klose, Mike Davis, and Arman Tsarukyan all had four-fight streaks. In April 2022, Charles Oliveira led with 10 wins, Makhachev had nine, Beneil Dariush had seven, and Rafael Fiziev, Claudio Puelles, and Tsarukyan each had five.
