Lightweight division winning streaks tracked over three-year period

An analyst tracked the evolution of the longest active winning streaks in the UFC lightweight division over a three-year period. Currently, the top streaks are led by Islam Makhachev, followed by other contenders. One year ago in May 2025, the list was topped by Makhachev with 14 wins, followed by Paddy Pimblett with 6, and three fighters tied at 5 wins (Chase Hooper, Nasrat Haqparast, and Fares Ziam). Two years ago in May 2024, Makhachev led with 12 wins, followed by Renato Moicano and Pimblett at 5, with several fighters at 4 including Arman Tsarukyan. In April 2022, Charles Oliveira led with 10 wins, Makhachev had 9, Beneil Dariush had 7, and three fighters (Claudio Puelles, Rafael Fiziev, and Arman Tsarukyan) had 5-fight streaks. The analysis demonstrates how winning streaks and divisional momentum have shifted over time in one of the UFC's most competitive weight classes.
