Most stacked division ever

[CerebralKnievel]

10 in the top 10? Astounding

Within that top 10, 5 of those guys were top 5 ranked fighters. That's a division of killers, right there.

 

[Kenny Powerth]

Pride when HW was
1) Fedor
2) Big Nog
3) Cro cop

 

[Bouboumaster]

WW during GSP's Era, LW and FW are the answers.

 

[SeattleFightFan]

It’s possible that the deepest MW division ever got detailed when Bisping fought two non-contenders ... what a goddamn shame.


Middleweight

No. 1- Michael Bisping (38)
No. 2- Luke Rockhold (37)
No. 3- Chris Weidman (32)
No. 4- Ronaldo Souza (29)
No. 5- Robert Whittaker (19)
No. 6- Gegard Mousasi (18)
No. 7- Vitor Belfort (15)
No. 7- Lyoto Machida (15)
No. 9- Anderson Silva (6)
No. 9- Derek Brunson (6)

Newb spotted.

No

tell me again how amazing thiago

 

[ThunderStruck]

No

tell me again how amazing thiago

His run before facing GSP? He ranked top 10 p4p in most mma medias.

that’s exactly the point. Thiago alves and Dan hardy were p4p great fighters during gsps run. They are horrid fighters by today’s standards

 

[Evangelion]

WW during GSP’s reign consisted of one dimensional fighters and natural LWs until well rounded WWs like prime Hendricks, Rory, Lawler, and Woodley came along.

LW division of a couple of years ago and LHW in Pride were stacked.

The amount of overrating people do of guys like Koscheck is nuts.

 

[Pastinaca1]

According to some members in here it would be current Bellator LHW

The bellator LHW division is full of old past primed UFC rejects and some prospects.

People are stupid and think that Machida, Bader, Davis, Romero and Rumble are still the same fighters they were several years ago.

If Bellator makes a HW GP with Fedor, Overeem, JDS, Crocop, Vovchanchyn, Big Nogueira, Mark Hunt, and Hidehiko Yoshida people will think that Bellator’s HW division is better than UFC’s.

 

[Pem123]

IDK if it is the most stacked but there is one time during Woodley Welterweight reign, i look at WW top 20 rank and said those are scary looking top 20.

If a division is truly great the 2nd best fighter should also be a great.

Hardy wasn't p4p, Alves was. And what a weak argument.

You're making a fool out of yourself and showing your ignorance if you think the 200 pounds steroid-infused Thiago is the same fighter than the deflated guy who made an attempt in the 155 division.

Just admit you didn't know MMA at that time.

 

[grimballer]

dan hardy was a contender in gsp ww division...

ill go with lhw when ufc bought pride

he was p4p cause he beat a relic hughes.... hughes had no top wins after losing to gsp

and thiago lost against any decent wrestler he faced except short notice kos, who himself was way overrated

 

[GreatSaintGuillotine]

Oh boy LW just last year was really good. FW right before Volk got the belt was stacked to high hell. The current 135 line up is killer.

Hard to say. I lean towards LW over the past 2 or so years

you're confusing current ufc lhw division with bellators

ufc no.1 contender is 41 and is 1-3 vs guys in gp

How was Kos way overrated? You can literally dissect anyones record like you do.
