Is Bibi the best non-ufc Bantamweight fighter in the world right now?

Caldwell is better imo but they are clear 1 and 2

 

[Bobby Boulders]

According to most, yes. I believe so, and I believe he has been for years now.

A case can be made for Caldwell, as stated above, but I go with Bibi due to his experience and accolades.

Bibi is a stud.

 

[tehMoose]

Yes

 

[Leek]

Technically he's a 45'er.

 

[Gambit MMA]

Didn’t Horiguchi fight at like 135 for the Rizin gp

? Because one fc bantamweight is 145??? Or r u saying this because he's a big 135 or something?

A case can be made for him, also.

Yeah cuz of the weight class re-alignment

the gooch would beat him.

the gooch would beat him.

I think on paper, Bibi is the best. I think Caldwell deserves some mention as he has itt, I think stylistically, he's a problem for a lot of guys at that weight division.

But its hard for me not to root for Horiguchi. I've been a fan of his for a long time and what he did in Rizin recently was ridiculous. He could very well be the best fighter at either 125 or 135 (minus DJ) on any given night.
