Poirier, Gaethje, Alvarez, Chandler

That always worried me about Gaethje, he has that Dan Henderson attitude of "Do anything for the big one punch KO" except without the defense, which leads to exciting fights, but the guy taking so much damage he doesn't need to.

Their style will make it tough for them ever to become champions in the wrester heavy division, but people would probably rather watch their fights instead.
 
Feel like Oliviera should be included here.

I'm not knocking Oliveira at all but he belongs in a different category.

First, he hasn't fought Alvarez.

Second, he's a different breed of fighter. He's far superior in skill than all 4. He does have exciting fights but he wins with technique, finesse and precision.

The 4 I listed are super skilled but also the "bite down on your mouthpiece and throw caution to the wind" types of fighters.
