Will we ever see another LW champ like Frankie, who cuts minimal weight?

[VanMMA]

Frankie Edgar deserves a lot of credit for rising to the top of the LW division while cutting about 5 pounds weight. Just goes to show how much skill and speed he had.

Do you think we could see an occurrence like that again? Or has LW, as a whole, evolved since then?

Jose Aldo

Conor doesnt cut much... Hes like 167 walking around.

[Huligani]

Only if weight cutting gets removed entirely.

Conor was bigger than Eddie in their fight.

Eddie looks like a small 155er

Eddie´s a natural LW, Mc is a huge one

If Conor would actually fight him, Frankie could go up to LW now and take that belt. Of course, we all know Conor would never, ever fight Frankie.

No, the skill level in MMA is rising extremely fast. Especially at LW, one of the most talent stacked divisions in MMA. Once the skill has caught up, other variables begin to take great effect. Such as size

This is a HUGE myth. MMA skill has progressed very little since Frankie was the LW champ. I would even say the champs of Frankies LW days were better and more well rounded.

JDS/Cain, Jones, Anderson, GSP, Frankie, Aldo > Stipe, DC, Bisping, Woodley, Conor, Aldo

Aldo>Aldo? Lol

Just shows that Aldo is still at the top of the food chain after all these years. Aldo is the GOAT.
