Lightweight division is overrated

The lightweight division is overrated because the name value , but quality wise it is far from the best division , Max Holloway came from featherweight division and made Gaethje look very bad ,Volkanovski had very competitive fight with Islam and im pretty sure Ilia would do the same with any of the top 5. Guys like Poirier,Gaethje,Chandler, Hooker or Dariush are not elite fighters , but they still have gotten name value because of their exciting styles and rivalries with Conor McGregor. Lightweight division has the most popular and and fan adored fighters but it’s definitely not the most competitive one submitted by /u/honorbeforeneed_7 [link] [comments]
