I agree. LW might be higher, but it did not really develop until year 15. Basically 2008 when Penn won the title after Sherk was stripped.WW followed by LW

Was absolutely the premier weight class for awhile… so many fighters to get excited about both in Pride and the UFC.. and then when Chuck came over to Pride…Yep
LHW was the best all throughout PRIDE/Tapout UFC era
How quickly they forget...
Fedor, CroCop, Barnett, Randy, Arlovski, DC, Cain, Werdum, Overeem, Brock, Stipe, Coleman, Frye, Severn, Vovchanchyn, Mir, NgannouLHW easy, and its not even close.
You had Chuck, Randy, Tito, Rampage, Machida, Shogun, Vitor, DC, Gus, and Jones.
I'm not talking about currently, but over the course of the past 30 years (including PRIDE/Strikeforce), what would you say has been the most talent-loaded/exciting division in MMA?
In my opinion:
1. Light heavyweight
2. Welterweight
3. Heavyweight
4. Lightweight
5. Featherweight
6. Middleweight
7. Bantamweight
8. Flyweight

voted LW
but after thinking more it's LHW. That era when Chuck, Wand, Randy, Shogun, Rampage, Vitor, Hendo, Tito, Lil Nog, Machida were all competing at the same time and eventually all against each other....all in their primes or close to it......that was the best.
Around the same time we even got to see prime Anderson at LHW a few times.
