Lightweight division win streak rankings show dramatic shifts over past two years

A comparison of the longest active lightweight win streaks shows significant changes over the past two years. Currently, Islam Makhachev leads with 16 consecutive wins, followed by Paddy Pimblett and Renato Moicano with 8 each, and Chase Hooper with 6. One year ago, Makhachev had 14, with Pimblett at 6 and three fighters tied at 5 wins. Two years ago, Makhachev had 12 wins with Moicano and Pimblett at 5 each. In April 2022, Charles Oliveira led with 10 consecutive victories, Makhachev had 9, Beneil Dariush had 7, and three fighters including Arman Tsarukyan were tied at 5. The data illustrates the volatile nature of momentum in one of the UFC's most competitive divisions.
