Lightweight really is the only division in the without a solid dominating fighter

[UFCBlackbelt]

Not including women's flyweight since hardly half of anyone can remember who the champ even is.

HW: Fedor
LHW: Jon Jones
MW: Anderson Silva
WW: GSP
LW: BJ Penn???
FW: Aldo
BW: Cruz
FLYW: Demetrious
WFW: Cyborg
WBW: Ronda
WSW: Joanna

 

[Fraz]

Yep, 2nd weakest division after HW.

That’s because 155’s talent pool is a shark tank of the best fighters. Look at Gregor Gillespie, currently a nobody in the rankings. He could come in tomorrow and give Khabib a run for his money.

WW is stacked too but we had Matt Hughes and GSP.

I'd say LHW during Jones' run was also good

[Flboycanscrap2]

LW sits right at average height and weight for athletes. Talent is just too vast to NOT get knocked off the top of the mountain after a couple years by some random stud that comes out of the woodwork.

Tony Ferguson is the uncrowned champion of that division.

23 wins 3 losses.

Currently on a 10 fight winning streak and wins over some of the best lightweights in the world.

 

[Gambit MMA]

penn is probably the closest since he had 3 title defenses. khabib and tony are right there tho if they keep winning. one of them is gonna lose soon

 

[Grapplefest]

Yeah because somebody that's 26-0, on a 10 win streak in the UFC without losing a single round isn't a "solid, dominating fighter".

Methinks you put at least some of those question marks by the wrong name.

 

[Taric]

Yep, 2nd weakest division after HW.

When there isn't a dominating fighter that means the division is deeper, not weaker.

Massive hole in his game...

... Defending trips.

Competition matters, he only fought 2 top 5 fighters thus far.

I don’t know if you noticed or anything but the people listed were actually longstanding champions...

 

[Thug Rose]

Khabib

 

[XxWolfXx]

Dumbass thread as usual

Climbing to the top and staying at the top are two whole other ball games.

Khabib didn't even beat a top 10 guy for his belt (not his fault but still), guys like GSP and Aldo beat number 1 contenders for years.

 

[Floofyboy]

Khabib

If he beats McGregor then we can talk

In the what? In the butt.

 

[I WILL CUT YOU]

McG is 1-0 at LW he is irrelevant.
