Which division is better, FW or LW?

[CampaTRT]

Right now I think FW is the most exciting and talented division in the UFC.

Holloway, Ortega, Aldo, Edgar, Stephens, Moicano, Zabit, Bektic, Lamas, KZ, Yair, Swanson, Choi, etc..
LW has Conor, Khabib and Ferguson but I pick FW.

155... But close until Mcgregor and Ferguson comeback. The top 3-4 guys could contend for the title and make it interesting...

Have to go with LW. \

FW- Ortega, Edgar, and possibly Stephens are in TS terrirotry
LW- Conor, Ferg, Lee, Eddie, and Dustin are in TS territory. So many possible matchups.

Easily 145.

More interesting mix of styles, more interesting prospects, way more active top fighters, and former/current/future FW champs are 3-0 against former/current/future LW champs. It's pretty clearly the superior division imo. The only thing LW has going for it at all is that it's slightly deeper, technically, but even then I would say the skill drop off across the LW top ten is actually worse than FW right now.

Currently LW. Holloway is running out of new contenders. Ortega and Edgar, though I think Edgar is a less attractive matchup now.

Khabib has a murder's row of opponents to facedown that are all elite in the greater landscape of MMA, not just their division. While he's likely a favourite over many/all of them, that's more a testament to how good Khabib is.

FW

 

[James Baller]

LW.

Featherweight gets me more excited. It has more prospects too.

155 by far, champions everywhere lol.

 

[Grapplefest]

155 by far, you mentioned a bunch of names for 145, and you could've easily done the same for 155, except it would be better as it's a more top heavy and a much deeper division. Taisumov (5 KTFO Streak) Prazeres (6 win streak), Khabilov (5 win streak) are all unranked at LW.

 

[TheStoebZ**]

Khabib
Ferguson
Alvarez
Lee
Poirier
Gaethje
Barboza
Pettis
Chiesa
Iaquinta
Vick
Felder
Trinaldo
Dariush

I don't think I need to go on, it's not even close.
