Is full camp Lando Vanatta the best striker at LW right now?

Lando's dope. Not sure if he's the best at LW when you got guys like Cerrone, Barbosa and Diaz in the mix. Conor vs Lando would be a very fun fight though.

At thirteen he began training in BJJ and began wrestling as a sophomore in high school. When he was sixteen he took a month long trip to the world-renowned Jackson’s MMA, and he caught a glimpse of his future for the first time. He came up short of his goals in high school, walking away from the wrestling state tournament with a 5 th place medal his senior year. Still determined to capture gold he rushed off to wrestle at a D1 college, but didn’t last long.

One semester in and he decided to get out. A lover of learning and a lover of wrestling, but not one to fancy rigid environments and piles of debt, he left to Albuquerque, NM and never looked back. Five years later he’s still there day-in and day-out at the new JacksonWink Academy. The victor of eight straight professional bouts, with seven finishes and three KO’s to his credit. He says his fighting style is one of a kind, his own personal fingerprint in the sport, describing it as a blend of creativity, unpredictability, efficiency, power and a distinct mindset he calls a “savage-calm.”

Lando is turning into Platinum Hype right before our very eyes... fuck....
 
Nate Diaz has shown us that a full camp is not ideal and being drunk on a boat is. So we have seen the best Vanatta his first time up against Ferguson.

He just KOed a 30-0 kickboxing and karate champion with spinning shit. In his fight with Ferg, Lando showed his boxing to be unorthodox, yet deadly. On top of that he's also a former D1 wrestler and has arguably the best scrambles in the game ... who can stop him?

He can be stopped and has been by Ferguson, but there he also showed how good he is (yes 2 weeks notice). Lando might be one of the few or the only hype train worth the attention. The guys is really good and might become champion. Not unstoppable yet.
 
Perry fans scrambling for new nuts to hang from, lol.
 
Lando after the 2 weeks with Ido Portal in Thailand will get even more flowy and formless, like Artem.

LOL! He fucking clowned the shit out of Ferguson in his first UFC fight, at 24 years old & with NO camp and then TFerg got afraid and started grappling because he was fighting the future!!! Skill 4 Skill, Lando made TF look like a character on Bully Beatdown when he had gas.

So to answer your question OP, Lando has the best mindset, movement and complete game with a full camp but Khabib has better grappling and Conor better box'n.....but make no mistake, Lando is Da Future and is the best prospect since JBJ. And, just imagine JBJ getting Lyoto or Hashad instead of Gusmao in his first fight.....it would not look as purrty as Lando vs TFerg.

The op asked who can stop Lando. Ferguson is the answer as he has a stoppage win over Lando.
 
I like Lando a lot but it's really weird how he delivers his straights. Feel like it might cost him at some point. Maybe not though due to how unorthodox he is.
 
Its fucking stupid to use the term "full camp" as an excuse to be the best in the division. This guy got SCHOOLED by Tony Ferguson. He has awesome striking offense no doubt, but he got WAY too many holes in his striking defense to be considered the best striker. He might have better flashy kicks etc than Conor, but Conor has WAY better striking defense. Conor wouldn't let Tony Jab his face all day long.
