MM dominated for so long. Surprised Cariaso wasn't ranked in the top 10 when he faced Henry.
 
Well MM was champ much much longer and I feel the division was much weaker at the time as well.

MM was a beast either way though and I'd love to see him fight fig

lmao at this myth

Demetrious Johnson beat a Prime Dodson x2, Horiguchi, Prime Benavidez x2, Uncle creepy...

the division was much better at the time when it comes to the top 10

How would they fair today? Honestly I don't know enough of the flyweights to really make an argument so I have to give that to you.

Cejudo has an unavenged loss to Benavidez and Fig has a loss to Formiga (whom Benavidez defeated twice).

And keep in mind, this is a post-prime Benavidez we're talking about here.
 
LOL @ guys like John Moraga, Tim Elliot, Ray friggin Borg, Reis, etc even being considered “Top 10 fighters”. The JOKE of the day.


FLW during MM’a time was the equivalent of WMMA = a made up division for fighters with no home who can’t cut it in real divisions.


Thank goodness the division is gaining some credibility now.

Your trolling is getting weaker.
 
Your trolling is getting weaker.

According to you Facts = Trolling


Please try to present a credible argument of guys like Tim Elliot, Ray Borg, John Moraga, etc being true Top 10 caliber fighters let alone title contenders LOL.


Sorry you’re new to the sport but FLW during Johnson’s time was created for guys like Benavidez and Johnson who could never be champs at 135lbs.

Tbh cejudo should have won and Fig should handily win a rematch but you never know

Prime Dodson would beat pretty much every Flyweight, and Figueiredo would have his hands full. Dodson could have been the champion, demetrious was just that good. Same with Benavidez who at his best only had losses to Cruz and Demetrious.

Everything you said was an opinion, and opinions are not facts.

I've already countered your arguments in at least two other threads (because you have an obsession with bashing Johnson), and you never reply, which is precisely why this is nothing more than trolling.

Sorry you’re new to the sport
I've been watching since the 90's, that isn't exactly "new", sorry (not sorry) that you're wrong (again).
 
He’ll start racking up the top 10 wins now as champ

I hope he stays a kid at heart even with the fame now. Such an easy guy to root for

Johnson is awesome
 
Over half of DJ'S list also has long term success and rank at 135 as well. GOAT shit
 
Valentina has the most.

Valentina is the GOAT Flyweight champ.

60% of Fig's top ten wins already lost to Johnson, so I'm not buying into the division having "evolved" or gotten "stronger" since Johnson's reign.

People always confuse lesser known names with "weaker"
