Lightweight division winning streaks have dramatically changed over past two years

A comparison shows how the longest active winning streaks in the UFC lightweight division have evolved significantly over the past two years. Currently led by Islam Makhachev's streak, the composition has changed substantially from one year ago when the list included Paddy Pimblett with six wins and fighters like Chase Hooper, Nasrat Haqparast, and Fares Ziam with five each. Two years prior, the list featured Makhachev with 12 wins, Renato Moicano with five, and included fighters like Drakkar Klose, Mike Davis, and Arman Tsarukyan with four wins. In April 2022, Charles Oliveira led with 10 wins, Makhachev had nine, Beneil Dariush had seven, and several fighters including Claudio Puelles, Rafael Fiziev, and Arman Tsarukyan held five-fight streaks. The data illustrates the volatility and competitive nature of the division.
