Analysis tracks evolution of longest active lightweight winning streaks over time

An analysis examines how the longest active winning streaks in the UFC lightweight division have changed over the past two years. As of the post date, Islam Makhachev leads with 16 wins, followed by Chase Hooper with 7, Dan Hooker with 5, and Paddy Pimblett and Fares Ziam each with 5. One year prior, Makhachev had 14, with Pimblett at 6 and three fighters tied at 5. Two years ago, Makhachev led with 12, Renato Moicano and Pimblett had 5 each, and several fighters including Arman Tsarukyan had 4. In April 2022, Charles Oliveira topped the list with 10, Makhachev had 9, and Beneil Dariush had 7. The tracking shows significant turnover in winning streaks except for Makhachev's consistent dominance.
