Light heavyweight division shows weakest competitive depth in UFC rankings

An analysis of winning streaks across UFC divisions revealed that light heavyweight has the weakest competitive depth, with zero fighters in the top 15 currently on a three-fight winning streak. Only one fighter in the entire top 15 has any winning streak at all, and that is Paulo Costa, whose streak includes a victory from when he competed at middleweight. The infographic compared this to the welterweight division, which is considered the most stacked and competitive division currently. The data excluded champions from the calculation and showed how many fighters from each division's top 15 and top 5 are on streaks of three or more wins. The stark contrast highlights what the analyst called "competition turned inside out" at 205 pounds.
