Light heavyweight division has zero fighters on three-fight win streaks

An analysis of UFC divisional rankings reveals stark differences in competitive depth across weight classes. In the light heavyweight division's top 15, not a single fighter is currently on a three-fight win streak, and only one fighter has any active winning streak at all—Paulo Costa, who earned one of those wins while competing at middleweight. This stands in sharp contrast to the welterweight division, which is considered the most competitive and well-stocked in the UFC. The infographic tracks how many fighters in each division's top 15 and top 5 are on winning streaks of three or more fights, excluding champions. The data suggests the light heavyweight division faces unique competitive dynamics compared to other weight classes.
