In Which Division Will The Belt Change Hands The Most?

[Ashi Barai]

My guess is ww. WW seems stacked with monsters like lawler, hendricks, rory, condit,
lombard etc. Which do you pick?

 

[Cygnus A]

MW. Machida will beat Weidman. Vitor will beat machida. Weidman will beat Vitor. and the cycle continues.

 

[NTylerWeTrust]

LW, WW, MW I could see the belt changing hands quite a bit. I would also throw in BW if Cruz comes back and isn't himself before the surgeries. FW if Aldo moves up could be constantly changing hands.

Don't see anyone really beating Cain. Jones seems more challenged by the competition, but I would only bet on DC beating him and even then I'm not convinced.

 

[Cptn1NSAN0]

Lightweight. Melendez gonna beat Pettis, and I don't see him making too many defenses before another killer knocks him off.

 

[Jermei]

Welterweight has so many guys who can beat each other, reminds me of the LWH div before Jones showed up except the WW div doesn't have a "Jon Jones", maybe Rory but I doubt it...

 

[thobra]

Mw And ww. None of these divisions have the best guy as champ, so it will change.

 

[p4pcummins**]

Once Rory gets the belt its pretty much his.

 

[Andre Xiong]

WW. Until a hulking 200 lb Georges returns!

 

[Jackonflame]

LW and WW.

Both divisions just happen to have champs that are yet to defend

 

[Noraa 666]

Hw easily. Nobody has ever defended. More then twice and it's a sword fight. First to land usually wins

 

[Andre Xiong]

Once Rory gets the belt its pretty much his.

An aging veteran in Lawler beat him. Carlos Condit overwhelmed him late. Lawler and Condit are still easily top 10. Condit would catch him again especially in a 25 minute fight.

 

[amazingrtc3]

Yeah that WW division is unpredictable and full of fun/interesting/bad matchups essentially for the entire top 10.

 

[BomberMan]

Definitely WW, followed by MW. Those 2 divisions are stacked with relatively unproven champions.

 

[GrAtI]

mw and ww

 

[5crew]

I agree, LW and WW. I doubt the current champions can defend their title more than twice.

If GSP do return, and win back his WW title and defend it more than 3 times. He will truly have surpass Fedor imo. People can agree or Disagree.

LW on the other hand, I don't see any fighter in current top 10 that will be a long time champion even if they wins the belt. 3 title defense is the most I can see. Way too stacked and the fighters are way too elite nowadays. Any good WW can decide to drop another 15lbs to try for LW and give the division trouble. Should he manage to use his size to bully into a title, an Elite FW can cut less and use his speed to win the "oversized" champion. Then a natural LW can beat the FW again.

LW is a never ending story.

 

[djacobox372]

It should be, and was, LHW, if not for Jones.

Basically the higher weight classes are more susceptible to random KO's/TKO's. Heavyweights are so shallow that it's likely that one guy would just be THAT much better than the rest, but at LHW it's surprising Jones has held on for so long.

 

[Aas Gutú Adéli]

mw and ww
Johnny had some really close fights on his way up and not the safest style
Chris hasn't fought a wide variety of competition yet

 

[DrHouse]

An aging veteran in Lawler beat him. Carlos Condit overwhelmed him late. Lawler and Condit are still easily top 10. Condit would catch him again especially in a 25 minute fight.

Robbie Lawler is "aging"? I mean sure in the sense that he's getting older, but he's 32 and has looked better than ever. He's the best he's ever been right now, Rory fought the best Lawler there has ever been. Let's not forget, Rory is only 24 and is getting better.

As for the thread, I'm gonna have to agree with the majority and say MW or WW.

 

[MuayThaiBX]

I would say Lw but that belt isn't defended enough by Pettis. So I would say WW is passed around the most followed by MW. Both of those divisions are very deep but WW is a bit deeper and there is less of a top 3-4. Anyone in the top 8 could take the WW belt depending how the styles match up.

An aging veteran in Lawler beat him. Carlos Condit overwhelmed him late. Lawler and Condit are still easily top 10. Condit would catch him again especially in a 25 minute fight.

Your use of MMA math is terrible.
