What is currently the most competitive weight class?

[TimeToTrain]

As of March 2025, which weight class is the most competitive now?

 

[azerty]

bantamweight, followed closely by FW and LW

 

[loisestrad]

Probably HW.

 

[ChickenBrother]

bantamweight, followed closely by FW and LW

Pretty much this, although BW or FW being first is debatable. LW has always been a shark tank but the next few years will see the majority of the top 10 age out. Tsarukyan and Topuria are the future of LW.

LW, champ is the #1 P4P, Tsarukyan, Oliveira, Poirier are more skilled than champs in most of the other divisions, Klein, Ziam, Haqparast, are outside the top 15 with 4-5 fight winning streaks against good fighters, and other guys like Ruffy, Joel Alvarez are also outside the top 15

 

[TimeToTrain]

Probably HW.

That’s the least competitive next to Flyweight.

 

[BJJ4Tone]

Probably HW.

Not any more.

Welcome to the Gaziev era!

Probably LW if you include Illia.
