absolutely notRegarding the "weak LHW division"
I kind of agree - but consider that we might be biased:
1. Wouldn't you say DC and Jones were one of the best top2 of any division during any time? Consider how that makes the rest of the division seem weak by comparison.
FW at one point had Conor, Mendes, Edgar, Aldo, and Holloway all at the top. That's 5 Goats right there. That absolutely shits all over your arguement. Just go look at the LW rankings. Conor Khabib and Tony is 3 goats at the top. The fact that you have to limit LHW down to only 2 great fighters at the top, shows how utter shit LHW is. The lower weight classes don't just have a top 2 of truly great fighters, they have a top 5 and a top 10 stacked with more then just 2 great fighters lol. You are only proving how pathetically weak LHW is. And the numbers would prove it even more so. LHW has the least amount of fighters signed to the roster compared to any other division. Meaning LHW is factually the most shallow division in MMA. All the talent and depth in MMA is at the lower weight classes. Both Jones and DC are insanely over rated. They both get hyped as "elite" because of their close fights against each other, when in reality, both dont hold a candle to the skill set and fight IQ of a lower weight class fighter. Stipe just looked far impressive against DC, then Jones ever did, and Stipe was actually clean. So even HWs are more skilled then the best LHWs
IsNormal said:2. "The dominant champ paradox".
This is another retarded arguement. No, LHW is just garbage, and always has been. Which is why Jones has "defended" his "LHW" title against so many MWs. LHW is the only division that is so shit, that all it takes to get a title shot there is 1 or 2 big wins. Gus literally got a title shot off a loss. Most of the time Jones was "defending" against fighters who had NO more then winning streaks of 1 or 2 lmao. LHW is just garbage, and always has been. Nothing hides that fact. LHW being so weak is the only reason why Jones rose to the top. Think about how many young contenders came up alongside Jones. Only Gus, and Gus beat him. Now Imagine if Jones were competing in an actual young stacked talent rich talent pool like FW/LW? Jones wouldnt crack the top 15 in either with his current game. Jones is the result of being a microscopic bacteria dwelling in a single droplet of water. While FW and LW are the fucking Pacific Ocean. The greatest fighter has to be Gsp or a FW/LW
LHW is just now finally starting to get some fresh new faces with Reyes and Rajic. I bet Jones losses to both proving how he was also the benefactor of the right place at the right time in a shit division while being allowed to legally use steroids
