Lightweight division winning streaks dramatically shifted over past two years

An analysis tracks how the longest active winning streaks in UFC's lightweight division have changed significantly. Currently, the top streaks are led by Islam Makhachev. One year ago, the list included Paddy Pimblett with six wins, and Chase Hooper, Nasrat Haqparast, and Fares Ziam each with five. Two years ago, Makhachev had 12 wins alongside Renato Moicano, Pimblett, Drakkar Klose, Mike Davis, and Arman Tsarukyan. In April 2022, Charles Oliveira led with 10 consecutive victories, followed by Makhachev with nine, Beneil Dariush with seven, and Claudio Puelles, Rafael Fiziev, and Tsarukyan with five each. The shifting landscape demonstrates the volatility and competitiveness of the 155-pound division over recent years.
