Is LW division the crown jewel of MMA again?

[TheLastEmperorReurns]

For notable periods in MMA history, LW division stood out for its depth of high-level fighters.

Are we back to those days?

Is LW the most stacked division in MMA right now?

Khabib, Conor, Ferguson, Kevin Lee, Poirier, Alvarez, Gaethje.

For fucks sake, the guy that Khabib beat and everyone knocked on for being only ranked #11 was on a 5 fight win streak with a win over Jorge Masvidal.

The division has so much depth that RDA & Cerrone moved up to WW for another chance to win a title. My gosh.

 

[podsox]

Yes

 

[Bumblebeef]

AI is underrated. he was a long time off. he has some decent wins against lee and masvidal for example.

 

[awymore]

I can't think of a division with more matchups I want to see.

The potential match ups at MW aren't nearly as vast or interesting than LW.

Nobody cares to see Whittaker vs Jacare 2, Romero vs Rockhold 2, Whittaker vs Romero 3, Yoel vs Weidman 2, Mousasi is off in bellator so all potential match ups are gone for now.

LW match ups that are interesting and available make up a long list.

I think MW dropped the ball and it's LW now.

Since the days of baby j its been a stated fact.

Potential don't mean shit if the fights never get booked and both guys don't get to the ring.

 

[Huligani]

Pretty much always has been.

 

[Bend NvR Break]

I've always found WW to be shark tank.
Woodley, RDA, WB, Colby, Usman, Ponzi, Magny, Maia, Robbie

There's no easy fight anywhere.

When I first started watching LHW was the crown jewel division. My how the mighty have fallen.

 

[Sean Long]

Ummmm....

Whittaker
Romero
Jacare
Weidmen
Mousasi
Rockhold

Vs

Khabib
Tony
Kevin
Alvarez
Poorier
Edson

Putting Jacare and Mousasi in your list shows you are just another ball sweat licker. Which UFC belts do they hold?

Woodley = No
RDA = Lost to Khabib at LW
WB = No
Colby = All talk
Usman = Maybe
Ponzi = Hahahaha
Magny = Hahahaha
Maia = over the hillia
Robbie = best days are over

Rockhold

Vs

Khabib
Tony
Kevin
Alvarez
Poorier

The top 5 of the MW can hang with anyone else's top 5, but what about after that? MW simply doesn't have the depth that LW, WW, and FW bring.

 

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

Agree... Should be some exciting fights coming soon. Plus the top two guys are out right now... Looking forward to the future match-making.
