Lightweight division's longest win streaks tracked over three years

A historical comparison shows how the lightweight division's longest active winning streaks have evolved dramatically over the past three years. Currently, the top streaks are led by Islam Makhachev, followed by several fighters in the 5-6 win range. One year ago, the list was topped by Makhachev at 14 wins, with Paddy Pimblett, Chase Hooper, Nasrat Haqparast, and Fares Ziam all at 5-6 wins. Two years prior, Makhachev led at 12 wins, while Renato Moicano, Pimblett, Drakkar Klose, Mike Davis, and Arman Tsarukyan held streaks of 4-5 victories. In April 2022, Charles Oliveira topped the division at 10 wins, Makhachev had 9, Beneil Dariush had 7, and Claudio Puelles, Rafael Fiziev, and Tsarukyan each had 5. The data illustrates both the volatility of the lightweight division and the consistent presence of certain fighters like Makhachev and Tsarukyan across multiple years. The tracking also shows how former champions and contenders have cycled through the rankings.
