that would make BW incredibly deep with a ton of cool matchups at the top.

I don't think guys who are just good at 125 all automatically just hang in at 10lbs heavier.

Who are the big shots left at the UFC other than Dana and the matchmakers? Like, rumour was that Lorenzo Fertitta used to be the good cop to Dana's bad cop and would smooth over the relationships with the people he would beef with, along with doing his CEO things. I wonder who's stepped into that role now, if anyone.

There is some Brazilian steroid that makes all the men look alike. JDS and jacare and a few others I can't remember have cyborgs same huge lips and puffy eyes. Bigfoot looks like this too but he has a legit glandular disorder.

its probably the same steroid that makes asian people all have dark hair and lactose intolerance

mm would be champ after his first fight, joe and cejudo would be top 10, couple more top 15, couple more hanging around unranked because their fun. that deepens the division significantly.

maybe not. i'm going off mmath of dom that beat tj being roughly as good as the one who dropped rounds to a still-working-day-job mm. cody still dropped round/s to dom. i think this version of mm would be too fast and too technically good for any of them by a significant margin.

can't wait to find out if i'm right.

If this is what comes out of this and MM becomes the third or whatever multi division champ then somehow we're on the best MMA timeline

well yeah, i don't think most of them would be as good, but i think the four i mentioned are really good and would be in the top 15--DJ/benavidez/cejudo/elliott. borg/formiga/reis/pettis would have a hard time cracking the top 15 at bantam i think.

and DJ is the only one i could see in the top five

I like how Cody pulls and bobs his head till he gets a reaction, then makes like he's going to jerk back but suddenly comes instead and sticks all over Dom.

Or, alternatively, flyweight is already cool and good, MM could be a multi division champ without shuttering it, and any response to a rumor of a shutdown besides "that's loving dumb" makes you a moron

Right, and being ranked at a weight 10 pounds heavier doesn't automatically make you better than the ranked guys a weight class below. See: DJ, Dodson, Cerronne, Gastelum, Frankie, BJ, Faber, Nate Diaz, Whittaker, hell even baby Sherk has one of the best records in WW history.

Ignoring terrible matchups (poo poo like GSP v Romero), I'd say on average the top 5 guys in a weight class can go up a weight class and still be top 10, at least for a little while. For now, skill is still more important than size in MMA. In 10 years almost everybody will be technical in every area and I'd expect to see a lot less changing of weight classes, with size becoming a bigger differentiating factor.

Lineker is substantially smaller, like by a full three inches (That's the height difference between JDS and Michael Bisping), has fought at featherweight (or tried to) 8 times, and has missed weight fully half those times

Lol, height doesn't matter. There are 5'9" bantamweights and 5'9" heavyweights. Lineker is bigger than TJ..

he's doing so well as an indy wrestler, he regularly books himself for multiple shows on the same day and has to back out of 1 or more because he's still Matt Riddle
