Most exciting fighter in the lightweight division.

[LoveSherdogThisTime]

Looking back on 2021, I have to say that Michael Chandler was the most exciting fighter in the organization. He started the year by knocking Dan Hooker out spectacularly. Then, he went on to challenge Oliveira for the title. Despite coming up short, the first round of that fight was for me the best round of the year. Then just two months ago, he fought Gaethje in what was arguably the fight of the year.

I don't know about any of you but I honestly think Chandler is the only guy in that division who I want to see fighting everyone even if he loses another fight. Think about it.

Chandler vs Ferguson
Chandler vs Makhachev
Chandler vs Poirier
Chandler vs McGregor
Chandler vs Dariush
Chandler vs RDA

All these fights have the potential to be fight of the year. Also, say he loses his next fight against one of the fighters listed above, I think I'd still want to see him fight the rest on that list because Chandler is just that guy who has a shot at beating anyone.

Anyways, who do you like to watch in the lightweight division?

 

[Ares Black]

Gaethje
Riddell

 

[Heemsassin]

Charles Oliveira
Do Bronx
Tony 2.0
Chandler and Dustin's father

 

[STAY GOLD]

I like Chandler and think he's an exciting fighter, but there's plenty of exciting fighters to watch in the division, Do Bronx, Poirier, Gaethje, McGregor, etc.

 

[DaRivv20]

Fiziev Is a joy to watch. One of the best strikers at lightweight imo.

 

[smalliebiggs]

i agree with you. if Chandler wasn't in UFC then i'd say, easily, Aloe Vera then Gay Cheese second

 

[PurpleStorm]

Charles Oliviera
Dustin Poirier

I tune in to most every fight in that division!

 

[Dirge]

While Chandler and Gaedjthe are obvious choices with Oliviera and Poirier in the running, I'd like to add Gillespie to that list. Barring a loss to Lee, the guy is an absolute savage. His last 6 wins in the UFC have all been finishes.

 

[Sweater of AV]

I'm glad Chandler's getting the recognition he deserves. He's always been an extremely exciting fighter but got a lot of undeserved hate when he came to the UFC.

 

[ExitLUPin]

Chandler had some stinkers in Bellator. Eddie was much more exciting

Chandler is still one of the most exciting but by body of work among current UFC LWs its easily Justin or Dustin

 

[Moosetony]

Of all time?
Easily tony

 

[Ace70 V2]

There's so many that I can't choose. All those that have been named are awesome to watch

 

[krelianx]

Chandler, Poirier and Gaethje are super exciting.

 

[Midget Boxer]

Clay guida

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

Tony has always been the most exciting fight for me personally, his fights are always crazy and insane with lots of blood and total madness

 

[mmacanada]

Conor the body McGregor

 

[Macsworth]

Conor McGregor and its not even close. He is on a league of his own not just in LW or MMA in general but all of combat sports.
