Are Today's Top 4 155ers The Best 155ers Ever?

[GoshiShun17]

Was there ever a time with a better or more well rounded top 4? Khabib, Porier, Gaethje, and Ferguson.

And even further are these 4 the best 4 to ever compete at 155 in your opinions? Including past championships.

 

[moosaev]

might wanna include who you think the top 4 are. Khabib. Gaethe, Dustin, and Tony are my top 4. Some might have Conor.

 

[Sweater of AV]

Prime Baby Jay beats all of them.

 

[AmericanMMA]

BJ lost a lot of peoples respect on how his career eneded, but in his prime the guy was an absolute animal and is a top 5 155er in my book.

I edited but anyone including Conor is being dilluded as he is only 1-1 and doesn't even compete at 155.

Yes. The top 10 itself might be the deepest ever too, but the top 4 is definitely the deepest. All 4 have worn UFC LW gold of some kind and have some of the most decorated resumes name wise. All of them would have ruled the LW division in any previous era imo, and that includes BJ’s era.

Depends what the criteria is, if you're talking about the top 4 this moment, there are definitely question marks about Tony and how much he's declined. Its possible Conor is better than him at the moment, but Tony has the far better 155 resume for sure.

 

[PulsingJones]

Yes, 100%, Absolutely

This is the golden age of LW

Considering all of them have touched gold inside the lw division(interim or not), I'd say yes.

They're all undisputed champions if khabib isn't there.

Khabib

Gomi/Canner/Pettis

 

[Kos Fan]

Easily, if Khabib can beat that gauntlet he is a strong goat contender.

 

[GoGetSomeFansJon]

Its baffling how Michael Johnson beat Ferg and knocked out Dustin and had Gaethje almost finished a few times lmao.

[MRDOG]

Prime B.J. Penn is/would be king at LW during any point.
