Before stipe won the belt nobody argued against heavyweight being the weakest division in

Now everyone is trying to pretend it's the most skilled and illustrious division of all time.

I can't wait till DC beats him.

HW >> LHW
anyway ... both are weak

 

[JonnyBones]

HW >> LHW
anyway ... both are weak

More like heavyweight of any era <<<<<< Light Heavyweight. Now the top guys are all 40 lol

this...
for a very long time now.
they are shallow and UFC is unable to create/bring new talent.

So both divisions are getting old and no new names come to the top.

 

[Th3Sav4ge]

yeah but light heavy is weak aswell

 

[Reign009]

Exaggerate much TS?

 

[SpiderCrawl]

Most of the divisions are weak, they all have a small amount of good fighters and the rest is fodder that would have no place a few years ago.

I don't think anyone argues that the HW is the most skilled division of all time, or even of the last 3 years. Show me some sources or gtfo.

I have never, in all my years on sherdog, heard anyone say that the HW division is the most skilled and illustrious divison.
What are you talking about, white belt?

 

[rawknob]

nvm, join date of jan 2018, troll much?

 

[OriginMMA]

LHW is even weaker than HW at this point. Both are even weaker than FLW which is saying a lot. Well HW might be on par, but LHW is definitely the weakest division with Rumble, Jon, and now DC not being there.

[EffinCraig]

Who in the world is arguing that HW is the most skilled division? I have read literally zero assertions to that effect.

Let's compare side by side (Jones and DC not included because DC is moving up and Jones for obvious reasons)

Stipe vs Gus - Stipe is basically a better version of Gus with way better wins than Gus whose best wins are Glover and past prime Shogun

Volkan vs Ngannou - basically the same but Ngannou has better wins

Glover vs Werdum - Glover is great but Werdum is more accomphished by miles

Manuwa vs Overeem - no comparison Overeem has beaten Werdum, JDS, Brock, Hunt, Mir, Arlovski etc. Manuwa has beaten... OSP

OSP vs Cain - lololol

Canderson vs Blaydes - which young wrestler is better, the one who beat Hunt and Olenyk or the one who always loses to anyone with a pulse?

etc.

 

[Failwani]

I...haven't actually seen anyone do this

 

[bigmacbub]

Manlet confirmed??

 

[SeattleFightFan]

it takes special ignorance to write a thread that is SO straw man that people have to look at it multiple times - convinced it must be saying something other than it's saying - before shaking their head in dismay.

 

[donkeyjr]

What??? Heavyweight will and always is the most weakest division in the ufc...Most of the fighters are pushing 40. lol

 

[rurouni]

yes they did newb

I don't think HW has ever been the most skilled division. It just doesn't seem possible when you have 265+ lb guys throwing hands. I'm not saying they don't have skill, but lets be honest...
