The once stacked UFC MW division has lost
1. Luke Rockhold - moved to LHW
2. Gegard Mousasi - moved to Bellator

Now you are left with:
1. Robert Whittaker - good champ
2. Yoel Romero - 42 years old, could get old overnight
3. Kelvin Gastelum - undersized MW
4. Chris Weidman - 34 in 1 month, 1-3
5. Jacare Souza - 38, just lost to Gas, probably close to retiring and won’t get a title shot anytime soon.

Thanks Ping and Pierre.

Ahhhhh yes, a bunch of new MW contenders would have appeared if Bisping and GSP never fought.

Did you write The Butterfly Effect?
 
Still not as bad as HW in age / wear and tear of top guys. I think Gastelum / Whittaker would be a better fight than most people think, if Whittaker wins against Yoel again. I'm not so sure about Kelvin vs Yoel being competitive though.
Really a lot of the divisions are getting older, simply because the better fighters are still the vets. WW has changed a bit lately with a youth movement, but most divisions FW and above are littered with guys who've been around for 10+ years still in the top 15.
 
Interesting related statistic: 100% of fighters get one year older, every year. True stuff.

Yoel is not 42. He only turned 41 a month ago

If it wasn't for Ping and Pierre, it would have been more stacked? Mooose would still be in UFC and Rockhold a MW?

Whit is a top young fighter
Gas is a top young fighter
Costa, Vettori, Carlos Jr and Israel are young newcomers

Vitor and Ping are retired (most probably)
Silva is old and on dick pills
Machida and Jacare are getting old although they are still in the top
Weidman and Brunson are also not young anymore

It is not a stacked division anymore because the top fighters (Ping, Machida, Vitor, Silva, jacare, weidman) are getting old, because Moose and Rockhold have left the division. Not because of Pierre.

I am curious about Romero. He is 41. I wonder if he will retire in 2 years.
 
KG is an excellent middleweight. People trying to write off the Weidman win as if size was the only factor.

Plus Paulo is someone to watch... But he's defintely juiced

Beyond juiced. Straight up making a mockery of USADA
 
Toner must cry himself to sleep every night knowing that GSP banged his mom.

Age is nothing but a number. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Fuck fuck fuck a duck screw a kangaroo finger band an orangutan support your local zoo. Am I right
