Which division do yal think is the most stacked with competition? I made a post a few min ago about Gregor Gillespie's bright future. However, considering there are some really tough guys in the top 10 in that division he may struggle to make it in the top 5.

If I had to pick 2 top divisions I would say LW, then MW.

What do you all think?
 
1. Light heavyweight
2. Heavyweight
 
LW now, was MW before Gegard left and before that it was WW.

So:
1. LW
2. WW
 
MostCatch weight, 155,145,170,135,185, 205,125,265
Least stacked wmma 145,125, catch weight,135,115
 
1. Light heavyweight
2. Heavyweight
Well I do think LH is close to the top, but I think heavy weight is somewhere towards the bottom. It's been the same guys for a very long time, some inactive too.

What's with the HW hate ?

Stipe is game.

Ngannou is an amazing prospect and a specimen.

Drago is the next champ.

DC is here, and probably here to stay.

Overeem just got a hold of his long lost 'snacks' and is looking as beastly as ever.

Black beast is also a good gatekeeper.

Blaydes is also pretty fuckin solid.

JDS might resurface, we never know.


WW has who ?

Till, Wonderboy, RDA(LW) and Woodley. 3 of them are old or becoming old.

Usman and Colby are still second tier until proven otherwise. They are hot shit right now for BARELY beating a really REALLY old Maia.


Who else ? LWs ?

Let me remind you that THEY COULDN'T FIND AN OPPONENT FOR KHABIB!!!

Kevin Lee, Ferguson who is probably done ?, Al Iaquinta... ? Barbosa who everyone beat ? Gaethe who can't defend himself at all ? Who else ? Where's Conor, is he even fighting ? Is Chisea even a thing ?


Ya'll motherfuckers are victims of a hype machine. All divisions have like a champ, 2 young guys, 3-4 old ones, and 3-4 iffy prospects. That's EVERY division... except the bottom two divs... they're even worse.

Why is Till first tier for barely and controversially beating Wonderboy but Usman and Colby are second tier for undisputedly beating Maia?

They're not that far apart.

I'd put Till above those two cause Wonderboy is 35 and way fresher than Maia, plus he was coming of a win over Masvidal. Maia has a string of 3 loses. A sure sign of declining.
 
Depends on the moon phase.

They're all pretty shallow.

Maia probably is past his physical prime, but the losses also all looked the same and were to similar style opponents so it could just be him getting a really bad series of matchups.
 
155, 145, 135. When u look at the names who arent even ranked it says it all
 
In order:
1.lightweight
2.welterweight
3.bantamweight

It's all a gray area to be honest.

The only sure way to find out who's legit and who isn't is by matching them up.

I wouldn't be surprised if Till loses to or beats both of them. Anything can happen.

Maybe Maia beats them in a rematch... who can say really :)
