Lightweight win streaks compared across three years showing division evolution

A comparison of the longest active lightweight winning streaks shows significant changes over three years. Currently, the top streaks include Islam Makhachev's continued dominance. One year ago, the list was headed by Makhachev at 14 wins, followed by Paddy Pimblett at 6, and three fighters tied at 5 wins each. Two years prior, Makhachev led with 12 wins, with Renato Moicano and Pimblett at 5, and several fighters at 4 including Arman Tsarukyan. In April 2022, Charles Oliveira led with 10 wins, Makhachev had 9, Beneil Dariush had 7, and multiple fighters had 5-win streaks including Tsarukyan and Rafael Fiziev. The data illustrates the shifting competitive landscape in one of the UFC's most talent-rich divisions.
