A post examines the evolution of the longest active win streaks in the UFC lightweight division over the past two years. Currently, the top streaks are led by Islam Makhachev and include Diego Lopes, Joaquim Silva, Paddy Pimblett, and Chase Hooper. One year ago, the list was topped by Makhachev at 14 wins, with Pimblett, Hooper, Nasrat Haqparast, and Fares Ziam. Two years ago, Makhachev had 12 wins, followed by Renato Moicano, Pimblett, Drakkar Klose, Mike Davis, and Arman Tsarukyan. In April 2022, Charles Oliveira led with 10 wins, followed by Makhachev with 9, Beneil Dariush with 7, and Claudio Puelles, Rafael Fiziev, and Tsarukyan each with 5. The data illustrates significant changes in momentum and competitive dynamics within the lightweight division.
