Lightweight winning streaks show dramatic division changes over past two years

A comparison of the longest active winning streaks in UFC's lightweight division shows significant turnover and changes. Currently, Islam Makhachev leads with 16 wins, followed by Paddy Pimblett with 8, Chase Hooper with 7, and Grant Dawson and Fares Ziam each with 6. One year ago, Makhachev had 14, with Pimblett at 6 and three fighters tied at 5. Two years ago, Makhachev had 12, Renato Moicano and Pimblett each had 5, and Arman Tsarukyan had 4 along with two others at 4. In April 2022, Charles Oliveira led with 10, Makhachev had 9, Beneil Dariush had 7, and three fighters including Tsarukyan and Rafael Fiziev had 5. The data illustrates the volatile nature of the lightweight division and how quickly competitive landscapes shift.
