No one in Lightweight has defended the Lightweight title in a reign more then 3 times in the UFC

BJ Penn 3, Frankie Edgar 3, Benson Henderson 3, Khabib Nurmagomedov 3,

No one in Bantamweight has defended the title more then 2 times in a reign in the UFC

Dominick Cruz 2, Renan Barão 2, T.J. Dillashaw 2
 
Maybe eventually. But both divisions are shark tanks right now. I don't see anyone so dominant right now that it's gonna happen any time soon.
 
Islam can get the defense record if he wins the belt and Yan will beat the record when he gets his belt back.

Islam broke the defence record at LW in January at UFC 311

Merab is currently tied for the record of most BW defences at BW could break the record in December

just goes to show how hard it is to defend, even a few times. which is what makes guys like anderson gsp liddell so special.
