Lightweight division's longest active win streaks tracked over three years

An analysis tracked the evolution of the longest active winning streaks in the UFC lightweight division over a three-year period. Currently, Islam Makhachev leads with a streak, followed by several fighters with shorter runs. One year ago, the list was topped by Makhachev at 14 wins, with Paddy Pimblett at six and three fighters tied at five wins. Two years prior, Makhachev had 12 wins leading the division, with Renato Moicano and Pimblett at five each, and multiple fighters including Arman Tsarukyan at four. In April 2022, Charles Oliveira led at 10 wins, Makhachev had nine, Beneil Dariush seven, and three fighters including Tsarukyan had five-fight streaks. The data shows how rapidly competitive dynamics shift in one of the UFC's deepest divisions.
