Did 155 lbs Go From the Worst to the Best Division in the UFC?

[Barteh]

It went from:

Edgar, Benderson, Pettis and Alvarez as former champs

to:
Conor, Khabib and Tony as the top 3.

It got good ever since BJ Penn came back. Has been awesome ever since.

155 has never been the worst division in the UFC

 

[MMACroatia]

And Ronda Rousey is once in a lifetime athlete.

I loved it when Jens was champ, and again when Serra/Din/Yves/Uno/Iha were battling it out and when Sherk was in charge

One of the top divisions since BJ was champ. Now it's best by far.

Tony and Khabib, Kevin Lee etc make it interesting but Conor? Lol, where is he? I have not seen him in the UFC in 1 1/2 years how does he make it interesting?

 

[Swing the Axe]

155 has been a good, deep division for a long time. don't know what you are on about

 

[thobra]

Sigh.. kids will be kids.

Soon, Conor will be retired, And Khabib And Tony will lose a couple of fights...

Then you will claim they were overrated, and never any good...And some «new breed» will make the division the best ever..

You taking a jab at Edgar and Alvarez? fuk off.

You are only fooling yourself with this nonsense, he is the biggest box office draw there has ever been in mma, whatever division he is in automatically becomes the most interesting.

WW is the best imo. Murders row in the top 10. Let alone a solid bottom 5. LW is good too, but I think WW has the most depth right now.

1 Stephen Thompson

2 Rafael Dos Anjos

3 Colby Covington

4 Robbie Lawler

5 Demian Maia

6 Jorge Masvidal

7 Darren Till

8 Neil Magny


9 Santiago Ponzinibbio

10 Kamaru Usman


11 Donald Cerrone


12 Carlos Condit


13 Gunnar Nelson

14 Dong Hyun Kim

15 Yancy Medeiros

since when was 155 the worst division? how can you even qualify that?
since WEC closed, 155 has consistently been one of the best three divisions in the UFC.

170 is probably the division that made the biggest leaps in terms of introducing new, younger talent into the top 15 in 2017. Cerrone, Condit, and Kim may get bounced from the top 15 before the end of the year.
