A historical comparison shows how the longest active winning streaks in the UFC lightweight division have evolved over the past three years. Currently, Islam Makhachev leads with 16 consecutive wins, followed by Paddy Pimblett and Chase Hooper. One year ago in May 2025, Makhachev had 14 wins, with Pimblett at six and three fighters tied at five wins. Two years ago in May 2024, Makhachev had 12 victories, Renato Moicano and Pimblett each had five, and several fighters including Arman Tsarukyan had four-fight streaks. In April 2022, Charles Oliveira led the division with 10 consecutive wins, Makhachev had nine, Beneil Dariush had seven, and multiple fighters including Tsarukyan, Rafael Fiziev, and Claudio Puelles had five-fight winning streaks. The data demonstrates the significant turnover and volatility in one of the UFC's most competitive divisions.
