I agree. And they don't even have Faber and Barao anymore
Not only Frankie, imagine MM on there too

 

[PancraseForever]

I enjoy Welterweight. Actually now I think about it, it's mostly just because of Robbie Lawler...

WW and MW are up there too, BW also getting very interesting, LHW and HW are still shallow.

Cool you can actually order it by how many fighters they have and I think it matches up pretty good
1. Lightweight
2. Welterweight(historically, low point right now imo)
3. Featherweight
4. Middleweight(this division has gotten a lot better recently)
5. Bantamweight
The Rest

 

[MacGregor]

ww is the most exciting division atm imo

 

[Bluntforce420]

ww is the most exciting division atm imo

No doubt, the last two WW title fights were barnburners

 

[mjoln]

Hw, otherwise we would have one division

 

[MacGregor]

Good point Bluntforce420. I'm more excited for the ww's right now than the lw's is what I should have said.

 

[Fatal Catro]

It's the best division for sure, however the title fights have not been handled correctly, Conor was given a title shot that was unearned and he has not fought since.
Hopefully the interim title helps to get the division moving again.

 

[Bobbybackpack]

Maybe, the matchmaking could be much better and the division seems to be stalled, I wonder why

 

[SirKratos]

Why do people even mention Lee as one of top LW?

He had 1 fight against someone anywhere close to top of the division (Which was a massive step up in competition) and he lost. Best win is Michael fucking Chiesa.

 

[Bobbybackpack]

The best in order as far as top 10 is Welterweight, Lightweight, Bantamweight, Middleweight and Featherweight.

Welterweight is by far the best as far as unranked fighters. Mike Perry, Nordine Taleb, Matt Brown, Leon Edwards, Jake Matthews, Li Jingliang, Tim Means, Erick Silva, Jordan Mein, Curtis Millender, Thiago Alves, Randy Brown, Saffeidine, Chad Laprise, Bryan Barberena, Warlley Alves, Jake Ellenberger. You could literally go on a 5 fight winning streak and still be unranked. But if you're pro record is 4-1 at 115 or W135 you're ranked. Exist, be a female and weigh 125lbs and you're ranked. Win by KO at LHW and you're ranked.

 

[TankehAbbatoh]

I'm most excited about featherweight at the moment just because it has so many awesome prospects and young fighters coming up, but BW, LW, WW are great too.
