The sad state of the LHW division D:

[WresleThis]

Jones and DC are both elite fighters, and p4p greats. Everything is great at the tippy top, no complaints there.

The rest? Yikes.

Gus - Had to resort to panic wrestling in his previous fight against some dude from Czech Republic. Looked unimpressive against over the hill glover, not to mention, he had to poke him the eyes to seize any type of advantage. has already lost to both champs.

Glover - Brutally KO'd in his previous fight, KO'd in his next. He's 47 as well. He's not going anywhere.

Jimi Manuwa - He's English and has no wrestling. No chance against the top 2.

Miesha Cerveza - He was the next hope, the next contender, then he got KO'd by a 3 inch punch. Next.

I don't know the rest of the LHW division.

Bader. Gone
Phil Davis. Gone
Rumble. became a drug dealer.

This division mang.

Thankfully there are 7 other men's divisions to watch

"looked unimpressive against over the hill glover"

imagine thinking that Gustafsson looked unimpressive.

LHW is a dogshit division, but let's not LIE to make our point. The problem with LHW is that the top guys are on their way out and there is literally nobody to replace them. One of the prospects for that was Misha Cirkunov, who just got bodied. Volkan Oezdemir is irrelevant and Manuwa is 40.

Gustafsson is 30 and seems to have a new lease on life, so we'll see, but LHW is a dead division that hasn't died yet.

Maybe Rockhold should move up

What is the argument for Oezdemir being irrelevant? You just said lets not lie to make point.

He is only 27 and already has 2 top10 ranked wins in two fights in the UFC.

Miss this guy already:

Well he was probably never going to be a serious challenger for the top guys, but yeah he was a hell of a lot of fun and improved tons from his debut vs Palelei.

A baffling decision to let him go.

Volkan Oezdemir is irrelevant because he doesn't exist. Stop pretending like Oezdemir exists, he's a fake person.

gus looked unimpressive against glover?

he dotted him up from bell to bell, even before the eye poke. he did great.

 

[FPV F6]

Gus showed a full arsenal of weaponry against Glover. Not one moment of the fight was boring. Fuck the haters.

Like what? HW? FLW?

 

[Toner]

LHW is trash. Should have never let go of Bader or Davis.

 

[Irishwhiskey119]

White belts should not be able to make threads.

 

[flyingscissorsheelhook]

Despite his current state Shogun is ranked at #4. That tells you what you need to know about 205 right now.

 

[Kirin]

Ts: gus didn't do anything against glover until the eyepoke.


You can make the same qualifying argument for every jones fight.

I agree this divison is poo, but you discredit Gus and Manuwa.Gus has chances with both Jones and DC.Manuwa well, I can see him with DC.He lacks offensive wrestling, but his tdd is solid.
Gus returned to shape.

Shogun top 5 shows, how much division lost within few years.Bader and Davis gone.King Mo, Vasell, Mcggeary would be top 10-15 tier.Mousasi is in 185, Machida left 205 long ago, Evans got old, Rampage as well, no fresh blood in this division.

TS: Gus "panic wrestled" in a single fight

TS: No complaints about panic wrestlers Jones and DC
