The fact that genuinely good fighters like that, are not even top 5 at LW, just goes to show you how deep, stacked, and ultra competitive LW is.
The Jones era of LHW is one of the most pathetic shallow over rated divisions in MMA
You had Jones consistently defending against fighters with wins streaks of no more then 2 wins lmao (some even had losing records coming into title fights against Jones)
LHW was so weak and shallow Jones defended TWICE vs MWs
Meanwhile you look at LW, and someone like Iaquinta is on a 5 fight winning streak and yet was still only ranked #11 at LW. LW is a true shark tank
Meanwhile a 5 fight winning streak at LHW makes you a LHW GOAT lmao
If Iuaquinta were a LHW he would probably be top 3....yet at LW he's no better then top 15
LW is absolutely stacked to the brim ocean deep with actual legit talents
LW truly is the best most stacked division in MMA history and Conor sits atop it (while also the FW champ - the second most stacked division in MMA) Like Sonnen said, Conor is the one and only true goat because Conor is champ of the 2 most stacked divisions in MMA
