THAT's all.

The future champ will be one of them, Jan being the king right now.
Maybe if Jones comes back, he might be again the champ.
 
Pretty loose definition of “Great”

Almost all of those guys are middle of the pack level if Jon, Rumble, and DC didn’t prematurely leave the ranks and Bader and Davis didn’t leave the organization. They cut their teeth on the Manuwas, OSP’s, Anderson’s, Krylovs, and Latifis.
 
You forgot about PEDs free jones. He's a decent top 5
 
Are you being sarcastic? Not a single one of the guys you just named is a “great” fighter... not even Jan. They’re all journeymen fighting in a shallow division.


Jones was the only great fighter at LHW.


Ankalaev has potential to be great too.

This.

The days of DC, JJ, AJ and prime Gus are long gone.
 
It does seem pretty barren now. I wish that Weidman, Rockhold, and Jacare would've been more patient and tried to stick it out longer. All three of those guys are big middleweights that could've eventually adjusted to 205lbs and made it more interesting.

Jiri would smoke Rumble
 
jiri is not a great fighter. neither is reyes. the division will be far less shallow when jones retires and the boogeyman that made everyone change weight classes is gone.
