Lightweight division win streaks show dramatic shifts over past two years

A comparison of the longest active winning streaks in the UFC lightweight division reveals significant changes over the past two years. Currently, the longest streaks are led by Islam Makhachev with a streak extending into double digits, though specific current numbers are not provided. One year ago, Makhachev led with 14 wins, followed by Paddy Pimblett with 6, and three fighters tied at 5 wins (Chase Hooper, Nasrat Haqparast, Fares Ziam). Two years ago, Makhachev had 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 including Tsarukyan had 5-win streaks. The data shows how quickly momentum shifts in one of the UFC's most competitive divisions.
