How big of a problem is this, because they are all good friends and wont fight each other?
 
Honestly I think its a problem in that only one of them is really an elite fighter showing just how thin LHW has become.
 
Pretty sure Gus already KTFO Manuwa. No need for them to fight again.

Tbf Latifi almost KOd Bader (got a knock down). That would have been a legit top5 win for him.

He's certainly not bad but do you ever see him winning the belt?

In the UFC right now I think its Jones, Cormier, Gus, Rumble and then a big gap in quality and everyone but Gus is potentially out of the division. LHW honestly looks worse that HW, they better hope Saki comes though fast or get 1-2 MW's like Rockhold to move up.

Nope. He has a small punchers chance vs DC or Gus but thats about it.
 
No problem, Shogun will finish the other two pretty easily

Cormier is fighting Stipe at HW and said he's retiring in March 2019 so he's done with LHW.

Rumble is retired and if he ever came back he said it would at HW.

Jones is currently banned and if he comes back he's going to HW to fight Lesnar most likely.

With the rest of the division I think Latifi is in with a chance, I mean even 10 years past his prime Shogun is still a realistic top contender with a potential chance to get a shot at the belt if Jones, DC and Rumble are gone.
