Lightweight division winning streaks compared across three-year period

Historical comparison data shows how dramatically UFC lightweight division winning streaks have evolved over the past three years. Currently, the longest active winning streaks in the division are led by Islam Makhachev, followed by several contenders with shorter runs. One year ago, Makhachev had 14 consecutive wins, with Paddy Pimblett at six wins and three fighters tied at five wins including Chase Hooper, Nasrat Haqparast, and Fares Ziam. Two years ago in 2024, Makhachev had 12 wins, Renato Moicano and Pimblett each had five, while Drakkar Klose, Mike Davis, and Arman Tsarukyan each had four. In April 2022, Charles Oliveira led with 10 wins, Makhachev had nine, Beneil Dariush had seven, and Claudio Puelles, Rafael Fiziev, and Tsarukyan each had five-fight streaks. The analysis demonstrates the volatility and competitive nature of the lightweight division over time.
