An overview of the longest active win streaks in the UFC lightweight division shows Islam Makhachev leading with 14 straight victories. Arman Tsarukyan is second with six wins, followed by Diego Lopes and Renato Moicano with five each. The post also provides historical context, showing how these streaks have evolved over the past two years. One year ago, Paddy Pimblett was second with six wins, and two years ago, Makhachev had 12 wins while Moicano and Pimblett each had five.
Islam Makhachev continues to stand alone atop the UFC lightweight division's active win-streak rankings, with 14 consecutive victories separating him from every other fighter in the weight class.
Makhachev, 34, holds a 28-1-0 professional record and is currently the reigning welterweight champion, though his dominance traces directly back to years of work at 155 pounds. Fighting out of Eagles MMA and representing Russia, the southpaw is a finishing and control specialist, landing takedowns at a rate of 3.2 per 15 minutes while connecting on 58 percent of his significant strikes — one of the higher accuracy marks in the sport. His streak has grown from 12 wins two years ago to 14 today, underscoring the consistency that has made him the pound-for-pound number-one fighter in the world.
Behind him, Armenia's Arman Tsarukyan sits second in the division's active streak standings with six consecutive wins. Diego Lopes and Renato Moicano each follow with five-fight winning runs, giving the 155-pound weight class a competitive tier of contenders pushing up from below.
The historical snapshot adds further dimension to the picture. A year ago, Paddy Pimblett occupied second place with six straight wins, while Moicano had already begun building his current streak. Two years back, Makhachev was at 12 wins, and both Moicano and Pimblett sat at five.
Why it matters
- Makhachev's 14-fight streak is the clear benchmark in a division where long winning runs are rare
- Tsarukyan's six-fight run keeps him firmly in title contention at lightweight
- Lopes and Moicano's matching five-fight streaks set up a competitive logjam among upper-division contenders
- The two-year trend shows significant turnover just below the top spot, with Pimblett fading from the list entirely
