Lightweight division win streaks compared over three years

A comparison shows how the longest active winning streaks in the UFC lightweight division have evolved over the past three years. Currently, the list is topped by Islam Makhachev's long streak. One year ago, Makhachev led with 14 wins, followed by Paddy Pimblett with six and a three-way tie at five wins. Two years ago, Makhachev had 12 wins while Renato Moicano, Pimbleet, and others held shorter streaks. In April 2022, Charles Oliveira led with 10 wins and Makhachev had nine. The historical perspective shows the shifting competitive landscape and how dominance at lightweight has consolidated around certain fighters over time.
