thinking of all the great moments that came out of the 155 weight class: the showtime kick barboza kick edgar vs maynard trilogy Lauzon vs Varner Lauzon vs Dan Miller Guida vs Sanchez cerrone vs guillard stacked with so many great fighters.. its really a division where you cant slouch: Pettis Nate Diaz Benson Gray Maynard Eddie Alvarez Michael Chandler Joe Lauzon Jim Miller Cerrone Gil Melendez Frank Edgar barboza Varner even aldo has talked about moving to 155 what do you think? are fights at 155 generally more exciting?
Yes, but i think that is do to the skill levels being close in their division, and they tend to go for the finish more while having a large gas tank
I like it the most. I use to compete at that weight so I always follow it the most. Now I'm at 170ish though but I still like 155 most
stupid question as very subjective but i'll say Hell No Just check the UFC PPV opener with royce/shamrock right upto Silva/Belfort is there any Lightweights in that opening PPV thing? Plus check the ufc 100 greatest fights of all time dvd, again not exactly filled with lightweight fights is it......
What do you mean stupid question? Either people think it's the most exciting or they don't. He is asking our opinions, which are always subjective. It's not like anyone is claiming it's a fact. Also, look where most of the fight night bonuses are coming from. There are 26 fighters with 5 or more combined fight night bonuses. Out of those 26, 14 of them are or were lightweights.
For some reason i like HW div more. But when you just look at the the fighters yes LW is probably the best on paper.
