LHW has been a dump since Jones popped hot in 2017
Like Volkan Oezdemir was a top contender in 2018 where is he now

i think that 40 yr old glover is a more glaring sign. the liddell and tito era had more killers in the division. i reckon tito and liddell would be able to topple the comp at the top in their primes too, they wouldn't be competetive in DCXJones era thoThis is not up for discussion.
I still don't think white people have recovered from Rampage KOing Chuck at UFC 71205 died when Chuck and Wanderlei lost and Pride went under...

Or maybe Hill is just better than Jiri? Have you considered that possibility?Hill legit? Yes, he is. But we don't know his potential yet.
His best win is - and this is note for anyone ignorant who says that he beat Glover - is Texieira who aged overnight.
Glover from Jiri fight would submit Hill in round 1. It is SO EASY to see that he was slower, his TD was telegraphed but people are so stupid that they don't see that.
Yes, Hill is good and the win over Glover is a good win. But we also must remember Glover was over 40 years old in that fight. He was so slow by that point. Sure, Glover had nearly beaten Jiri in the previous fight but I think that further highlights how weak the division has become. Jiri is an awesome and unpredictable striker but he doesn't have the grappling or grappling defense that greats of the past like Chuck, Wanderlei, Shogun, Machida, Jones, Cormier had. Glover was out wrestling Jiri and Jan with ease. Glover also says a prime Chuck was much better than he ever was. He says a prime Chuck would beat any of the modern Light Heavyweights and he's probably right. Chuck was a pro kickboxer and a D1 wrestler. He had KO power in both hands and feet and had an iron chin. Hill has some decent wins over old guys like Glover and Thiago Santos but he has a lot to prove as a champion in the history books.Hill is good. He has very good cardio and his power lasts all 5 rounds. He dominated Glover who was .inute away from beating Jiri in previous fight.
Yes the div is weaker overall no doubt. But it is what it is. Cant spam bunch great fighters from out of nowhere.Yes, Hill is good and the win over Glover is a good win.
