In a previous column, we listed the shortest title reigns in UFC history. Consider this list its younger, smarter, handsomer cousin. Contained herein are the longest active winning streaks in the UFC today.
With UFC 134 looming this weekend, the timing seems right to rank these models of competence and consistency. Why? Well, I don’t want to give away any surprises, but a certain headliner in Rio—let’s call him A. Silva—occupies a certain position of honor on this little list of ours.
The list is a bit awkward with only 14 rankings, because there’s about a 38-way tie for spot No. 15 (all the guys with three-fight win streaks).
One final caveat: all wins have to have occurred within the UFC. Hence, no Nick Diaz, Jose Aldo, etc. And with that, let’s get right to it.
