Lightweight division winning streaks shift dramatically over past two years

A comparison of the longest active winning streaks in the UFC lightweight division shows significant changes over the past two years. Currently, Islam Makhachev leads with 16 consecutive wins, followed by Paddy Pimblett with six. One year ago, Makhachev had 14 wins with Pimblett at six and several others at five. Two years ago, Makhachev had 12 wins with Renato Moicano and Pimblett both at five. In April 2022, Charles Oliveira led with 10 wins and Makhachev had nine, with Beneil Dariush at seven and multiple fighters at five including Arman Tsarukyan. The data illustrates how quickly momentum shifts in one of the UFC's most competitive divisions.
