A historical comparison of the longest active win streaks in the UFC lightweight division shows how dramatically the landscape has changed. Currently, the leaders are Islam Makhachev with an extended streak and several fighters with shorter runs. One year ago, the list was topped by Makhachev at 14 wins, followed by Paddy Pimblett at 6, and Chase Hooper, Nasrat Haqparast, and Fares Ziam each at 5. Two years prior, Makhachev led with 12 wins, while Renato Moicano and Pimblett had 5 each, and several fighters including Arman Tsarukyan sat at 4. In April 2022, Charles Oliveira led with 10 wins, Makhachev had 9, Beneil Dariush had 7, and fighters like Claudio Puelles, Rafael Fiziev, and Tsarukyan held 5-win streaks. This data illustrates the constantly evolving competitive nature of the 155-pound division.
