ya the entire division is dog shit. DC, Stipe, Cain. JDS, Ngannou, blaydes, overeem all suck. fuckin casual fans are thr worst
Compared with the other divisions, yes it is. (FLW excluded, of course)
DC - great, but he will retire soon
Stipe - great fighter, hoping to see him back
Cain - seriously? one win in the last 5 years?
JDS - great fighter, not quite in his prime anymore (yeah, aware of the fact he keeps winning)
Reem - clearly not in his prime anymore, he will get KOed by the top guys easily (hoping he beats Volkov)
Ngannou - the hypetrain who has KO power, no cardio and no skills (the Stipe and Lewis fights were embarassing)
Blaydes - young top wrestler, no comment here
Now
Willis - how the fuck is Willis ranked? Seriously? Have you seen his fights? Are you telling me that UFC cannot find 20 better HWs than this guy?
Ivanov - not much of a fighter, he is ranked after 1-1 in UFC, beating (a very close fight) only unranked Rothwell
Good thing Albini isn't ranked anymore
Tybura - again UFC can't find 20 better fighter than this guy?
Shamil - old, not much of a fighter
So yeah, the division is pretty weak (I didn't say dog shit, you did) compared with the others. Even LHW catched up with Reyes, Santos, Smith, Rakic. You have many fighters who will hit their '40s soon, top guys like Reem, Arlo, DC, you have fighter who shouldn't be ranked in a potential strong division and only a few young ones (Blaydes, Tai, maybe Volkov)
