Lightweight division's longest win streaks compared across three years

A historical comparison shows how the UFC lightweight division's longest active win streaks have evolved over the past three years. Currently, the list is led by Islam Makhachev, followed by several fighters with shorter streaks. One year ago, the top streaks were Makhachev with 14 wins, Paddy Pimblett with six, and three fighters tied at five wins including Chase Hooper, Nasrat Haqparast, and Fares Ziam. Two years ago, Makhachev led with 12 wins, followed by Renato Moicano and Pimblett with five each, and several fighters including Arman Tsarukyan at four wins. In April 2022, Charles Oliveira topped the list with 10 wins, Makhachev had nine, Beneil Dariush had seven, and three fighters including Tsarukyan, Rafael Fiziev, and Claudio Puelles had five-fight streaks. The data illustrates the shifting competitive landscape in one of the UFC's most talent-rich divisions.
