Mike Perry IS the welterweight division.

Perry is a can who likes to crush likeminded cans. He will never be a top5 WW

it's exciting, but isn't it still a 3 person division?

it's a good reason why i don't want an immediate rematch - i'd like to see Cody fight one of those guys #3 - #7, and watch it all shake out.

of course i get why Cody wants a rematch....if i were him i'd fight for it too.

 

[Magx951]

maybe in the UFC, but not worldwide in general.

If you combine bellator and UFC's welterweight division, its the deepest division.

 

[chinarice]

I think WW has regressed over the years, which are why there are multiple LWs from GSP's era now in the top10 at WW.

 

[Philtard]

Welter weight is the deepest division across mma.

 

[FrontNakedChoke]

No. Both are fairly deep though.
