Lightweight division win streaks tracked over three-year period

An analysis tracking the longest active win streaks in the UFC lightweight division shows significant changes over a three-year period. Currently, Islam Makhachev leads with 15 consecutive wins, followed by Paddy Pimblett with 7, Renato Moicano with 6, and several fighters tied at 5 wins including Chase Hooper, Joel Alvarez, Nasrat Haqparast, and Fares Ziam. One year ago in May 2025, Makhachev had 14, with Pimblett at 6 and three fighters at 5. Two years ago in May 2024, Makhachev had 12, Moicano and Pimblett each had 5, and Arman Tsarukyan had 4. In April 2022, Charles Oliveira led with 10, Makhachev had 9, Beneil Dariush had 7, and several fighters including Tsarukyan had 5. The data illustrates the volatility and competitiveness of the lightweight division, with very few fighters maintaining long winning streaks aside from the dominant champion.
