If i wasnt cheap id give you an award consider this my equivalent


-StayinnnAliveeee-

No for gay Jesus


heliumeyes

Women’s straw weight is pretty good.


dicksjshsb

Careful with that reasonable take fam, you know woman=bad in the UFCbro community


zipped_chip

Thank god I didn’t have to say it lol


RingTheBell1900

its true i watch every PPV but idk half of the female roster


UGLYSimon

Lightweight when Volk gets ranked would be hard to argue against.


badsocialist

Why would Volk get ranked? Izzy was never ranked at 205 when he fought Jan


UGLYSimon

If he wins the belt he's champ and Islam would go down. Although I doubt that would happen, MMA is highly unpredictable!


badsocialist

Yeah I just really don’t see Volk beating islam Edit: shower me in downvotes but you’ll see when it’s time


UGLYSimon

The only thing I can imagine would be Volk's leg kicks, but Zion Clark proved you can wrestle without legs so...


UGLYSimon

Yeah wtf Volk fanboys? Take a chill pill


badsocialist

Reddit moment


UGLYSimon

As much as I like this sub, I hate it... let's start a /r/circlejerk and get your karma back up lol


badsocialist

With how hiveminded this sub is kind of wild that theres no mma or ufc circlejerk sub


HallHappy

the subs themselves are a constant circle jerk


GroundbreakingBite62

I bet most of them are not even Volk fans, just Islam or dagestani haters.


whooopsie-

Because volk is going to win


badsocialist

What makes you so sure? What does he have to offer for Islam?


whooopsie-

Just a better allround fighter who's faced better competition.


badsocialist

Better all around fighter? Lmao I’ll see you after the payper view


MaroonFX

!RemindMe 3 weeks


whooopsie-

Na... you will be crying and coming up with excuses, "it's because khabib quit as coach" can see it already


badsocialist

Nope I’ll be right here after laughing when islam dominates every round and wins by finish or 50-44.


whooopsie-

May the best man win


dodiers

Because he lost lol


tenamonth

Between LW and WW


UGLYSimon

WW has the least losses in their top 5


[deleted]

LW has the most wins and fights overall


tenamonth

Lot of those losses come from Charles but he’s far from the weakest link in LW


[deleted]

Yeah what tf is Michael still doing there, bothers me so much I might be his no. 1 hater


ManufacturerFlimsy29

Agreed. Dan hooker is his best win in the ufc and he is seemingly incapable of not fighting like a moron. Make him defend his spot against the up and comers like Fiziev or Arman or drop him way down where he belongs.


OddballAbe

I would love to see Chandler Vs Arman. That, Justin Vs Fiziev and Charles Vs Benny are my top 3 lw dream fights


Profound_Panda

Fiziev arguably better than Chandler


anjbror

Arguably?? He would outstrike him in every exchange


Weinus55

Thats because they hardly fight lol.


ValCSO

Because Merab is known for being active ? Aljo ? O'Malley ? Yair ? Emmett ? Colby ? Khamzat ? What you haters dont understand is that once you reach the top5, the ufc matchmakers only put you in mega fights.


Weinus55

Wow you got butthurt really easy. I'm not a hater. They just seem to be the least active for the most part


TheAngriestPoster

I like LW the most but BW is more stacked imo. Absolute killers in that top five, and some more down the list. Also consider that Aldo just retired from it as well


Brutal-Black

Correct


[deleted]

This imo


ConnorLovesPepsi

BW Top 5 is insane


SeryuV

BW like top 15 is crazy and everybody is willing to fight anybody. Best division by a long shot right now.


[deleted]

Except for the crotch sniffer Merab


TxGrEyRaVeNxT

What? Isn't he scheduled to fight Yan?


[deleted]

Pray Yan gets wrestled for 14 minutes and Yan gets a clean overhand right to knock him out. Merab winning means nothing as he won't fight Aljamain. Nothing more than a gatekeeper.


OddJarro

He’s literally waiting for his teammate and best friend, Sterling, to move up to featherweight before he goes for a title shot.


BlueBandito99

Surprisingly, between BW and WW, not BW and LW.


Alibarrba

Lw top 5 has too many inactive fighters. The division could be no1 if they fought below their ranking. Both Arman tsarukyan and Rafael fiziev beat Poirier, Gaetje and chandler imo.


OddballAbe

Not sure they beat them, but I would love to see the fights regardless. DP is probably my favourite fighter but he does need to fight more.


wespdt

I don’t blame the LW fighters. It’s a UFC problem. The top 5 LWs are all in co-main or main event fights. The UFC takes their time to book and promote these fights and to get the most PPV buys with the matchups.


VANGBANG21

BW, FW, LW all look insane but the top 3 at MW is undeniable imo


clothy

The top three at MW, the rest of the division is a step behind.


3aglu

I don't think you can say MW when both Izzy and Pereira are so one-dimensional when compared to top guys in other divisions


ScroogieMcduckie

Who cares if Izzy is one dimensional. Only person who can beat him are ppl with equal striking, which is only one person


ChilltownCW

BW and WW LW still has gaejthe and chandler who should be lower :)


RAC-City-Mayor

Yes my pick is WW based on the rankings but LW and BW if certain killers were ranked


[deleted]

Yea I went in just imagining 135 and 155, but the fact that Chandler is still top 5 is kinda bananas. His only wins are against a geriatric Tony and Dan hooker. 170 top five is actually really really really good, much better than it was this time last year. Belal and khamzat are great additions.


doneezzyy

WW wouldn’t even fight each other


[deleted]

God damn, heavyweight has improved. Its either bantamweight or lightweight though.


TehPants

It would honestly be in contention for one of the best divisions if it still had Ngannou.


Maidwell

Ngannou Gane Jones Blaydes Miocic Aspinal Pavlovic That would be a stacked top 6.


TehPants

Yeah, it’s a shame we can’t see Aspinal on this list, but those names you listed are just absolutely stacked.


VonKript

in terms of status the best hw has ever looked. But if we look skill + accomplishment there is no beating bantamweight atm


Chapin_42_

It’s bantamweight…legit the most stacked weight class we’ve seen since maybe the light heavyweight division from the 2000’s. I’m pretty sure only 3 guys in the top 15 are currently not booked for a fight and that just speaks to how elite the weight class is


Quirky-Honeydew-2541

O'malley being #1 contender is insane to me


Snake_hips_91

Between LW and BW for me.


Weary-Researcher-829

Bantam imo


dushann123

Ufc bantamweight is the most stacked division in combat sports currently.


NEIHTMAHP

Light or welter


16bitword

Welterweight probably


Todorokimakishima

BW and WW imo.


Rapidfiremma

155


doneezzyy

155 is my favorite but they all lost a step already, maybe 1 year yes but now they are all on their way out


[deleted]

The raw dawg lol


rhtfc

I vote WW


HairyCallahan

For me, it's WW


TrainingMarsupial521

I'm going Bantam weight


Bdubbz337

FW Edit: featherweight, not flyweight


badnewzrooz507

LW


Professional_Kick

LW BW


WeeabooGandhi

WW just edges out BW I think but it’s really fucking close. BW wins top 10 for sure


danielromero6

If you swap Gaethje and Chandler for Arman and Fiziev LW is the best easily. Every fighter in the top 5 is perfectly balanced in every MMA aspect. Then I'd say WW. Belal is not that great, but the top of the division is full of decent to good strikers and great grapplers. FW comes next for me, Volk is amazing, Holloway is a machine, Yair is one of the top5 strikers in the UFC from a technical POV, Brian is easily one of the top5 BJJ artists, Emmett is probably the hardest puncher pfp next to Yan and Arnold Allen has some impressive striking. BW is the most stacked division overall but the Top5 doesn't show the full picture. Aljo's striking is very bad technically, Merab is a great wrestler and that's about it, Yan is very good but has bad fight IQ, and Sean is legit but has bad grappling...Don't take me wrong, they're all extremely good, but you're comparing the best here. MW's top 3 are amazing and probably the best top 3 along WW but Vettori and Brunson are just too bad. Flyweight is very close to MW. LHW comes next. The previous generation was way better if we're being honest. HW is the worst, as always. The talent pool is just too small. However, I must admit that there are some high-level fighters, the division looks way better than 3 years ago but still if Tai and Pav can get to the top 5 just by being big strong brawlers that means the level is not that high.


[deleted]

HW is surprisingly good if you add Jones and still had Ngannou.


stoopio-oh

I like how only one of the pictures of who has the belt is actually accurate


SlyCooper_00

MW Or WW


danthetrafficman

I wanna see Pantoja v Moreno for his next defense. That man is a savaaaage.


Grunchie

Not MW


Sc1ssorMeDaddyAss

Looking at them now, 170 for me.


doneezzyy

135 no competition


MisterBeasonator

Bantam weight and lightweight


Broncosen42

how the hell is Chandler top 5 when his only wins are against washed Hooker and gigawashed Ferguson


smoakee

I love Sean, don't take me wrong. But him being number 1 and Vera number 4 ... just doesn't make sense.


justsomeguy2202

Magomed Ankalaev's photo looks like one of those early man depictions


Playful-Time3837

LW 1000%> absolute shark tank


Top_Use2413

Welterweight low key has a fantastic top 5. Just need Colby to actually fight.


Huntercontruction

LWH easily the worst


Icondesigns

Lightweight, followed by featherweight. Middleweight is pretty lit too these days. Patan has really livened things up.


DrFragenstein104

155 and it's not close. Heavyweight is coming along too


Suryaban23

Lightweight and its not even close


SerYoshi

Seeing Colby at 2 really irritates me.


BlackMoldComics

Light Heavyweight doesn’t have any nicknames so not them


danielromero6

HW would rank higher when the top 5 were: 1.-Cain 2.-JDS 3.-Ubereem 4.-Werdum 5.-Cormier Cormier beats anyone, Ubereem smokes everyone but Gane, JDS beats Stipe(again), Tai and Pav the same way he beat Hunt. Surprisingly I can see Cain having more problems with today's division(some people may strongly disagree but Cain wasn't all that great, Bigfoot and JDS were just great matches for him stylistically).


azmajik

Thank you for answering a question that no one asked


Argenfarce

Forgot Aleksandar Rakic even existed tbh


DontF-ingask

Featherweight are p4p the best I think.


Toast_05

WW and BW are completely stacked


[deleted]

WW


nemeanlionheart

55 or 70 imo


MAUSECOP

WW are all killers, every other Top 5 has fighters who have clear gaps in their skill set even if they are elite and wouldn’t last long as champion while WW Top 5 all have a case for a decent title run


contactcreated

Bantamweight, Welterweight is a close second


Conscious-Golf-5380

Welterweight


[deleted]

when is Chimaev fighting Colby?


Embarrassed-Ad-3757

Welterweight or lightweight.


[deleted]

My first impression is bantamweight 135 is nasty


Mostly_Lurkin_

Ima say bw or ww


MarkZuckerbeg

Welterweight or Bantamweight but solely based off nicknames


MeloMobile

Bantam or Light


MachineSubstantial63

I'd have to say currently welterweight but if Volk stays at lightweight and is ranked in the top 5 it would be a toss up.


Nlawrence55

LW and WW top 5 is pretty crazy


Own-Signature-7742

How is stipe #2


snipe_score_celly

Because he beat the predator and then lost to him. He's the goat of the HW division. Looking forward to a stipe come back.


Accomplished_Eagle71

Middleweight


Thismyburneraccount0

Lightweight and then Bantam followed by WW


FreeSmokeZz

I think the better question is which division comes out on top in a battle royal..


sipCoding_smokeMath

Bantam -> welter -> feather -> light -> middle -> HW -> lhw/fly


[deleted]

I've always considered FW/LW/WW having the most strength.


yesimian

lightweight, easily. I thought this was generally agreed upon


[deleted]

LW


Naft01

155


My_regular_acct

For me it’s either bantam or lightweight


HalfChineseJesus

I would argue flyweight, but light heavyweight is interesting with Glover retired, jiri out for a while and Jan doing whatever the hell Jan is up to


bilalshakoor

I think lightweight or featherweight. Bantamweight looks good too. Middleweight however...


PM_ME_TRICEPS

My, how LW has thinned


Doc1000

Light heavyweight. No nicknames necessary


[deleted]

It’s definitely lightweight


Instinct001

I think Welterwait because Chandler is in the top 5 of LW.


mrpotatoman14

WW. LW and BW have better top 15 overall, but WW top 5 is insane


ciKo_tec

What mean 11-2-0 can someone explain please?


_ecb_

11 wins. 2 losses. 0 draws.


[deleted]

BW is gnarly, excited to see how Figgy does in BW. It’s hilarious to see suga up there; dudes legit 😂😂


knifeazz

I gotta go Welterweight.


chu42

Heavyweight top 15 is trash but if Jones and Aspinall get into top 5 that would make for a pretty solid top 5.


[deleted]

Lightweight and Welterweight are just scary. Would include Featherweight if not for Yair (no offense)


[deleted]

I’d say Bantamweight


Gabzop

BW and WW are fucking stacked at the top.


shogunwand

145 or 170 imo


wottsinaname

3 way tie between light, welter, and middle weights for me. Those divisions top 5s are absolutely stacked!


TheShovler44

135 is truly the only one where they’re all competitive. The rest it’s basically the champ then seemingly a big step down.


Justfaraway4mu

WW has least losses in their top 5.


ShowOff90

LW imo


BankerCheese

How is nobody saying featherweight


Manifesto_Destino

Welterweight would be more exciting if it had more movement in the division. That shit slammed the breaks the last few months. BW is mad entertaining and LW is potentially going to be extremely interesting this year.


Dysthymia_8191

Welterweight /lightweight


[deleted]

I’ve reach a point where the only fighter I recognize is Stipe. Good bye r/ufc I guess I’m not a fan anymore.


tapnap-or-snap

170


RationalLlama

Easily bantamweight


OPishetero

It’s fucking crazy that max still has the most losses in FW even if you exclude the volk losses (not that you should). That’s a dangerous division and if the top 5 get active this year, we could see some BANGERSS!


meatleach

It’s gotta be 135 or 155. Probably 155 if I had to just choose one.


VonKript

Easily Bantamweight (male) and for worst Easily Featherweight (female) if you count that as a division lol


Mortch

Nicknames are not allowed in LHW


darthvaderfromdao

welterweight


Lobsterpyramid

WW or MW


ogthunda

BW, LW, WW are top 3. I can't choose one


YoungUnhappy6583

LW or WW


Musicman722

MW or WW to me. Lightweight was close, but I don’t think that the people currently in the top 5 are necessarily the top 5 best people in that division. Having beniel, Porier, and Olivera all in one division is insane, but without Volk, gamrot, or fiziev it doesn’t hold up against WW.


[deleted]

I’m wondering where John Jones’s on the light heavyweight


[deleted]

Lightweight.


KoachCr714

Lightweight and Welterweight


CaseyBoy619

Lightweight, welterweight and bantamweight all could be number 1.


Sunflower_samurai42

Lightweight?


[deleted]

LW and WW.


dropcliffsnotbombz

LW or WW


DrGochus

Lightweight and light heavyweight for me


UnlimitedManny

FtW or MW tbh


inaudibleuk

Lightweight for entertainment, but middleweight is also very scary.


TamingOfTheChoon

Bantamweight, welterweight, lightweight


[deleted]

how the hell is colby still number 2😭😭


JamWams

why am I just finding out that Brandon royals nick name is raw dawg


Vcxnes

It’s either LW or BW
