Evolution of lightweight division win streaks tracked over three years

An analysis shows how the longest active winning streaks in the UFC lightweight division have changed dramatically over the past three years. Currently, the top streaks are led by Islam Makhachev, followed by several other contenders. One year ago, the list looked significantly different with Makhachev at 14 wins, followed by Paddy Pimblett with six. Two years prior, Makhachev had 12 wins with Renato Moicano and Pimblett each at five, while fighters like Drakkar Klose, Mike Davis, and Arman Tsarukyan had four-fight streaks. Going back to April 2022, Charles Oliveira led with 10 wins, Makhachev had nine, Beneil Dariush had seven, and fighters like Claudio Puelles, Rafael Fiziev, and Tsarukyan each had five-fight streaks. This historical tracking illustrates the volatile and competitive nature of the lightweight division, where winning streaks are constantly being built and broken.
