It's interesting to see how the whole mma community stands on these things, here is mine:
125: DJ
135: TJ Dillashaw (thought he beat cruz as well)
145: Max Holloway, but once age and size force him to move up, its gonna be a toss up between the new stephens, ortega, and edgar. Stephens beats ortega, ortega beats edgar, edgar beats stephens..
155: Khabib, Tony is up there in the conversation though
170: Stephen Thompson, its an opinion but I havent been convinced a single fighter has beat him in probably his last 10 fights, i dont care what judges think.
185: This is the toughest one, both romero and whittaker are up there, I feel like romero won the second fight but the first fight was a close one too, romero screwed himself over by not attacking the legs more. Romero for now, but 185 is gonna be tough for him it seems. Gastelum could be in the picture soon as well, granite chin so I actually think he could knock whittaker out.
205: DC. Jones is a bit of a side thought for now, kind of like how anderson silva was recently until two days ago, or maybe people still dont care about silva and thats a bad analogy
265+: DC for now, because the chances of Miocic getting a rematch are pretty much nil. In my opinion, Miocic would beat dc the second time around, Miocic was not ready for him, he fought him like a 205er but he was winning until he messed up by letting dc clinch with him.
You just can't clinch with dc man, no matter how big you are. When jones fought dc, dc was the only guy I've ever seen jones not engaging in clinches with, he played smart gameplans and stayed away from it. I dont see miocic making the same mistakes if they fought a second time, but they won't so lets just enjoy the circus for now. NGANNOU IS A PIECE OF SHIT, MIOCIC IS A PIECE OF SHIT! Lesnar made you jump up for a minute, don't kid yourself
