Is LHW that bad?

[Deleted member 587672]

Following on from an OSP thread, a couple of mentions of how bad LHW is.
I personally love it right now.

Poatan.
Ulberg.
Jamahal.
Jiri.
Rountree.
Ankalaev.
Jan.

Off the top of my head.
They all often make for good bouts.

It's the light version of heavyweight, imo.

 

[Mike]

In terms of skill level? Yeah.

Some fun fights at Lhw …..not much depth in the division

 

[sanguinius]

It has certainly seen better days in terms of talent, but that doesn’t mean that there aren’t fun fights to watch.

 

[Brigfa2]

Better than LW

 

[RockyLockridge]

it's the depth that's the problem you have guys like kennedy whatever teh fuck and OSP fighting on the fringe of rankings when they should not be in the UFC period.

We got guys like anthony smith which are as mediocre as it gets of a fighter, Excels at nothing can lose to anyone, but is a divisional mainstay.


the fighters you listed are usually entertianing, but none are active enough

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

Not enough top fighters in it, a lot of those guys are so inactive also and don't fight often enough. Alex coming to the division makes it better for sure, but its still lacking for me.

Stings a little when Ulberg is 2nd on your list and he got KOed by that Kennedy guy that sucked as last weekend and lost against 58 year old OSP

I get it he gassed out trying to finish Kennedy but still.. it is a little bit funny he's the 2nd guy mentioned there

he has 5 subsequent wins with 4 finishes.
Kennedy has 4 wins and 4 losses.


It was over 3 years ago. I'm cool with it.

Also. I'm an Ulberg fanboy.
I have a thread somewhere that he'll end up fighting for the belt (but likely losing).
