Best weight division

I used to find Light Heavyweight the most interesting and entertaining weight division with Machida, Rua, Griffin, Rampage, Evans to name a few but since Jon jones is making everyone look average I think the divisions got a bit stale. Especially since they all seem to be ageing fast!

On the other hand I think the Lightweight division has become the most exciting at the moment with an endless cue of of people waiting for a title shot.

In terms of how interesting and exciting they are at the moment I would put the weight classes in this order;

Lightweight
Ligh Heavyweight
Featherweight
Middleweight
Bantamweight
Welterweight
Heavyweight

Thoughts?

I think LHW is living of past reputation as the elite division, its interesting as no one can hold the belt for any length of time but think the top of the division is over rated. I think heavyheight division is as good as any with the top contenders being relativly new to the sport with lesner, valasquez, dos santos, carwin so still a big unknown elelment with their fights. Plus there are top 10 challengers outside the ufc.

I dont rate the heavyweight division as you can tell. That is just based on the UFC but outside of Dos Santos and Valasquez I think every other fighter is very average. They rely on novelty acts such as Roy Nelson (whos hilarious,)Stefan the Sky Scraper and Brock whos lucky hes in such a poor division because when he fights anyone half decent they destroy him. It would be good if Overeem came to the UFC he'd shake things up.

aw I like watching heavyweights. The lightweights are good. I love the LHW still though. Thats my top class. Bones Jones is one of the best prospects ever.

Silva and GSP having such a hold no their belts doesnt make it interesting but what can ya do.
