Lightweight division's longest win streaks compared across three years

A comparative analysis shows how the UFC lightweight division's longest active winning streaks have evolved dramatically over the past three years. Currently, the leaders are Islam Makhachev with 15 wins, Paddy Pimblett with 7, Chase Hooper with 6, and Nasrat Haqparast and Fares Ziam both with 5. Exactly one year ago, the list was topped by Makhachev at 14, with Pimblett at 6 and three fighters tied at 5. Two years ago in May 2024, Makhachev led with 12, Renato Moicano and Pimblett had 5 each, while Drakkar Klose, Mike Davis, and Arman Tsarukyan held 4-fight streaks. In April 2022, Charles Oliveira led with 10, Makhachev had 9, Beneil Dariush 7, and three fighters including Tsarukyan, Rafael Fiziev, and Claudio Puelles held 5-fight streaks. The data illustrates the volatile nature of the lightweight division while highlighting Makhachev's sustained dominance throughout this period.
