Lightweight division win streaks compared across three years

A historical comparison shows how win streaks in the UFC lightweight division have evolved over the past three years. Currently, the longest active streaks are led by Islam Makhachev's ongoing run, followed by several fighters with shorter streaks. One year ago, the top streaks were Makhachev at 14 wins, Paddy Pimblett at 6, and three fighters tied at 5 (Chase Hooper, Nasrat Haqparast, Fares Ziam). Two years ago, Makhachev had 12 wins, followed by Renato Moicano and Pimblett at 5 each. In April 2022, Charles Oliveira led with 10 consecutive wins, Makhachev had 9, and Beneil Dariush had 7. The analysis demonstrates the constant turnover and competitive nature of the 155-pound division, where maintaining long winning streaks remains exceptionally difficult for most fighters.
