featherweight division is beastly right now

With recent wins by Ricardo Lamas
and upsetting wins by Clay Guida, it just compounds the divisions top fighters.

With guys like
Hacran Dias, Ricardo Lamas, Yuri Alcantara, Dustin Poirer, Cub Swanson, Dennis Siver, the always great Chan Sung Jun, Hatsu Hioki. Recent dominant wins by Godofrede Pepey, Nick Lentz, Chad Mendes. Even lowly side of the division like Max "Blessed" Holloway and Antonio Carvalho, Pablo Garza, Marcus Brimage have all looked superb. Diego Brandao even

Not to mention Jose Aldo at the top of the heap and his upcoming challenger Frankie Edgar.

Win or lose this division is full of some top notch and awesome fights this year..
Cant wait, cause this weight class is fast becoming my new favorite..

Yes, in terms of quality fighters, but in terms of said fighters being able to challenge the champ........

Chad Mendes would probably beat the breaks off everyone on the list, and we all saw what Aldo did to him.

Just like how the LHW was so stacked, but then Jon Jones made it look sub par.

Alcantara is a BW and Pepey's win was anything but dominant. Get some sleep bro, you need it.

It's an amazing weightclass... and I know it sounds crazy, but it's currently my favourite

You forgot to mention Bermudez. I feel like he's always improving

I love featherweight. And if you are going to mention Holloway, you should mention Garcia too. We all know he won that fight :-p
