Current UFC WW division best division of strikers ever?

[9mm]

Can't recall if I've seen a division in MMA where so many guys display a very high level of striking.

Just to name a few...

Stephen Thomson
Donald Cerrone
Robbie Lawler
Rory Macdonald
Matt Brown
Carlos Condit
Nate Diaz
Thiago Alves
Patrick Cote
John Hathaway

Even many of the wrestler/BJJ specialists (Maia, Woodley, Kim, Hendricks) have relatively very good striking.

I think middleweight is closer. Don't really consider Browne's and Rothwell's striking all that good... Werdum is like a HW Maia.

LHW

Liddell
Wand
Shogun
Machida
Rampage
Bones
Evans
Glover
Fabio
Henderson

Wand and Liddell were over it by the time Rampage and Wand got to the UFC. And I don't think all these guys were there simultaneously?

You have listed a few questionable strikers too like Hath away and Cote. They aren't great either and Werdum is way more dangerous on the feet than Maia. Before the Stipe fight he was supposedly amazing on the feet. He's definitely one of the better strikers at HW regardless of the Stipe fight. Look who he has out struck or knocked out.

None of those strikers has better striking than the 2 wrestlers?

nope all those guys would be underdogs striking with those 2 in an mma setting

This may be true but the best WW striker is not in the UFC. The guy is being played down by the MMA world especially Sherdog. The actual fight we need to see Thompson in is against this guy and that happens to be Micheal Venom Page. How the hell he hasn't got McGooglish levels of attention is a freaking joke. The guy is unbeaten i think and demolish everyone with ease at the moment.
Why the hell isn't MVP the name on every WW's lips at the moment?
That would be one entertaining fight MVP vs Wonderboy.

Maia's striking is Trash.

Maia's striking is Trash.

I agree with your post

Just because of quick power-shots/haymakers?
