HW = Stipe - Ok this guy might be the best in his weight class. Though I wouldn't be surprised if JDS/Reem beat him soon.

LHW = Cormier - Should be considered 2nd best to Jones

MW = Bisping - just lol. He's an underdog to Weidman, Romero, Jacare, and Rockhold 3.

WW = Robbie - An underdog to Wonderboy who should be the #1 ranked WW. He's been way more impressive than Robbie the last couple years. Not to mention Robbie should of lost 2 of his last 3 fights.

LW = RDA - Probably an underdog to Khabib. Though I'm fine with RDA being #1 since he's beat way more elite fighters than Khabib who's only beat 1.

FW = Conor - terrified of Frankie and would get wrestle fucked hard.

The lil guys Cruz and MM are def the best in their division so they aight in my book.

Weird year for the UFC. Bisping and Robbie being the most laughable champs.
 
Another fucking version of this shit thread. What... The first 10 or 20 weren't enough for you ?
 
Too much stock is put on wrestling it's silly, the days of winning championships solely on one discipline especially wrestling are long gone.
 
I dont think you should rule out Dillashaw or Garbrandt as potentially the best BW.

And you can make a case against both women's champs too.

Def true about the women. Maybe about Dillashaw, I'd like to see him and Cruz rematch. But Cody has only beat like 3 guys with wikipedia pages, and Almedia was a perfect style match up to make him look good. He def needs a few more good wins before we make any claims with him.

Cody beats a young ass prospect with a chin that's looked suspect in more than one fight and now he's arguably #1 in the division.

What the...

That is the beauty of MMA. Anyone can win on any given night...also personal issues and injuries can toss any division into complete disarray.
 
Lawler has looked phenomenal over the past few years. There is no chance you can clearly say that wonderboy has looked better.
 
Stopped reading after you said Overoid has a chance against Stipe...

Really?

Lawler - Should of lost Hendricks twice, only won one of the fights because of shit judges. was losing to Rory before the stoppage. Should of lost to Condit.

Wonderboy - absolutely mauled Hendricks in one of the worst beatings ever, thoroughly dominated Rory barely even getting hit. Also dispatched Ellenburger much easier than Robbie.

So if Overeem wins you promise to e-suicide your account?

HW: Stipe got lucky against Werdum. I give him a 45% chance against Reem but think a healthy Cain is a nightmare matchup for either.
LHW: Jones is the best, but if he doesn't have his head fully in the game it is not a far stretch for Cormier to upset him.
MW: Bisping caught Rockhold. He would be an underdog against Rockhold, Weidman, Jacare, Romero, even TRT-less Belfort.
WW: Robbie is the best right now. He has hard fought wins over more top guys than Wonderboy (who only has 2 against guys who also lost to Lawler).
LW: A case can be made for Khabib but RDA has been more impressive and active the last 2 years.
FW: Another case of a fighter getting caught not dominated. Aldo would likely tool Conor in a rematch.
BW, FlyW: Cruz and Johnson are clearly the best in their divisions.
WBW: Tate has been finished by Rousey and Zingano, and would probably lose 7 out of 10 matches against Holm.
WSW: The winner of JJ-Gadelha will be the undisputed superior fighter in that division.

Post USADA Aldo looked like a pubescent version of his old self and was terrified before the fight even started. Conor bounced his head off the ground like a basketball. Get over it
