What do you consider to be the "premier" weight class in the UFC?

[Emjay]

Poll?

Or has this been done already?

 

[BisexualMMA]

Women's 140 pound division is where the action is.

 

[Afroken]

None it's the stars and characters that make it premier.
Right now Conor at 145(if he returns to that weight)

 

[Air Lats]

WW for me personally. Hard to argue against LW, though.

 

[TheRassler]

LHW has always been the premier division for me.

 

[countswagula]

In recent years, I'd say 185. A lot of big names in the weight class, title fights always seem to do good numbers and fights between top 10 contenders seem to draw a lot of attention as well.

 

[Mixfight]

185 for sure in terms of skill and talent.

Years ago it was 205.

During the mid 2000s it was definitely HW.

People like to shit on the HW division until they get hit by one.

 

[nanika]

LHW has always had the biggest names. chuck, rampage, rashad, jon jones, machinda etc

LW and WW have always been the most talented. probably because closer to average male size. the great athletes of this size arnt drawn to football, basketball or baseball as well.

 

[lyndon955]

LHW, its not the best division but it's the premier one

best division is LW or WW easy, with MW, FW following closely after, then LHW, HW and BW imo
FLW and WSW and WBW may as well not exist

 

[Z28LS1L98]

HW in any combat sportt

 

[leto1776]

Lightweight, welterweight and middleweight.

 

[Ace of Spades]

Lightweight or Middleweight

 

[OldBoy91]

Lightweight and Middleweight have the deepest talent pools if you look at the top 20 in each division. It used to be Welterweight and LHW before that. But a few big name retirements, absences and fighters being well past their prime have hindered those divisions, 205 especially.

 

[blazerkor]

I kind of lean towards it always being 205 but as far as depth, right now, it's close but WW wins by a hair over MW. That being said, the LHW belt will always be the most prestigious, due to it's history and the fact that the LHWs are so big but still have to be very agile/athletic.
