I could list a bunch of names from 125lb too. That doesn't make it a strong division
LHW is the weakest division in all of MMA
It was so weak during the Jones era that Jones was constantly "defending" vs contenders who had losing streaks or who had no more then a 2 fight win streak lol
LHW was so weak Jones "defended" TWICE VS MWs lmao
Not to mention that Jones has never beaten anyone his size or age and was badly exposed by Gus, who was simply close enough in size and age to him
Those "MW's" that Jones defended against were previous LHW champions. And LHW was widely regarded as the premium division of MMA back then - but that's as far as I'm going to argue.
And as far as Jones vs Gus goes - styles truly make fights. It's why Diaz gave Connor so many problems.
And if you want to talk about fighting guys smaller than them. Jones isn't even the biggest guy at LHW and only cuts from 225ish. Connor was killing himself to make 145.
Little bit of hypocrisy goin on here I see.
