Islam Makhachev leads lightweight division with 15-fight win streak

Islam Makhachev currently holds the longest active win streak in the UFC lightweight division with 15 consecutive victories. The second-longest active streak belongs to Paddy Pimblett with six wins, followed by Chase Hooper, Nasrat Haqparast, and Fares Ziam, each with five-fight streaks. The post provides historical context, noting that one year ago the top streaks were Makhachev (14), Pimblett (6), Hooper (5), Haqparast (5), and Ziam (5). Two years prior, the list included Makhachev (12), Renato Moicano (5), Pimblett (5), Drakkar Klose (4), Mike Davis (4), and Arman Tsarukyan (4). In April 2022, Charles Oliveira led with 10 wins, followed by Makhachev (9), Beneil Dariush (7), Claudio Puelles (5), Rafael Fiziev (5), and Tsarukyan (5).
