Lightweight division's longest win streaks shift dramatically over past two years

The post tracks how the longest active win streaks in the UFC lightweight division have evolved over the past two years. Currently, the top streaks are led by an unnamed fighter, followed by several others in a competitive field. One year ago, Islam Makhachev led with 14 consecutive wins, followed by Paddy Pimblett with six, and three fighters tied at five wins including Chase Hooper, Nasrat Haqparast, and Fares Ziam. Two years prior, Makhachev led with 12 wins, Renato Moicano and Pimblett had five each, while several fighters including Arman Tsarukyan sat at four consecutive victories. In April 2022, Charles Oliveira topped the list with 10 wins, Makhachev had nine, Beneil Dariush had seven, and three fighters including Tsarukyan were at five wins. This historical comparison illustrates the volatile nature of momentum in one of the UFC's most competitive divisions.
