Lightweight division win streaks shift dramatically over past two years

A historical comparison of the longest active win streaks in the UFC lightweight division shows significant changes over the past two years. Currently, the top streaks are led by Islam Makhachev and several other contenders. One year ago, the list was headed by Makhachev with 14 wins, followed by Paddy Pimblett with six. Two years ago, Makhachev had 12 consecutive wins with Renato Moicano and Pimblett at five each. In April 2022, Charles Oliveira led with 10 wins and Makhachev had nine, while Beneil Dariush held seven consecutive victories. The analysis illustrates the volatile nature of momentum in one of the UFC's most competitive divisions.
