Hottest

My #1 is Middleweight.

There are so many fun matchups you can make here (I’m really hoping they book RDR vs Hernandez soon). Just look at that top 10 — a perfect mix of young prospects, proven veterans, and solid gatekeepers. This division feels alive again, which is crazy considering how bad it was not too long ago.

My #2 is Lightweight.

The top 10 is stacked with names like Topuria, Arman, Holloway, Oliveira, Gaethje, Hooker, Gamrot, Dariush, Paddy, and Fiziev — and right outside you’ve got Moicano, BSD, and Chandler. The amount of fun fights you can make here is insane. Just like MW, you’ve got everything: killers, prospects, veterans, and gatekeepers.

Worst

#1 for me is Heavyweight.

Outside of Aspinall and maybe two legit contenders, there’s just nothing going on. I have no idea how the UFC plans to bring in fresh blood, but right now the future of that division looks pretty bleak.

#2 is Flyweight.

There are some exciting up-and-comers, and I’m really looking forward to Joshua Van vs Pantoja — I think it’s going to be insane. They still have names like Moreno, Royval, Kape, and Kai-Kara France, but beyond that there’s not a lot to get hyped about.

Sure, there’s also Taira, Albazi, and Erceg, but these names just don’t have the same impact as the top guys in other divisions.



What about you guys??

Gaethje getting another undeserved title attempt is pissing me off...

For the hottest division, it's hard decision, and stiff competition between Women's Flyweight and Women's Strawweight, but I'll have to go with Women's Flyweight. Alexa Grasso, Veronica Hardy and Tracy Cortez are cream of the crop in the UFC (although the division just lost Ariane Lipski).

<GrassoBless>

All time hottest division is men's MW though, and it's because of

Hottest WW, kinda blew up out of nowhere many exciting prospects and champion is super entertaining, other one would be LW it’s a shark tank

Weakest HW, you could probably cut a majority of HW it’s that bad, LHW isn’t too far off from HW to be honest a few new prospects like Bogdan and Azmat but it’s pretty shallow

You had me until this.

FLW is one of the most entertaining divisions in the UFC.
 
It's welterweight and MW but I think WW is better by a good margin.

JDM
Brady
Belal
Machado
Shavkat
Morales
Usman

The worst is easy, definitely the two "extremes" heavy and fly - both are horribly booked, I know they don't have as much to work with, but YUCK at the matchmaking in both weight classes.

Best two, gosh, I really don't know.

Maybe Bantamweight and Middleweight.
