Light heavyweight division has no top-15 fighters on three-fight win streaks

Analysis of UFC divisional rankings reveals that the light heavyweight division currently has zero top-15 fighters on a winning streak of three fights or more, excluding the champion. In fact, only one fighter in the entire top-15 has any active winning streak at all, and that is Paulo Costa, whose streak includes a victory earned while competing at middleweight. This stands in stark contrast to the welterweight division, which is considered the most competitive and deepest in the UFC right now. The data was compiled while recording a new episode of a podcast and highlights the unusual competitive landscape at 205 pounds. The lack of momentum among top contenders raises questions about the division's current health and the quality of matchmaking at light heavyweight.
