I'll give a toss up to the welterweight division over the light heavyweight division. The welterweights are the deepest talent pool in the UFC, their fights are fast paced and it contains several of the best pound for pound fighters in the UFC. The light heavyweight division comes in at a close second, as it is the second deepest talent pool in the UFC. The light heavy weight division has the most exciting and charismatic fighters - Chuck, Tito, Rampage and Forrest.

The 170 lb weight class is the best one in the UFC because the top of the order is very solid and there are some strong up and comers
Top dogs: GSP, Hughes, Diego Sanchez, Karo Parisyan
Up and comers: Koscheck, John Fitch, Drew Fickett
Note: I'm leaving BJ Penn off this list cause hes gonna be fighting at 155 now and I think hes gonna end up with the title at that weight class. Otherwise he'd definitely be one of the top dogs.

If you can't make the cut, to say be lighweight, then you should fight at WW, even if you are a smaller welterweight, thats how its going to be, you aren't always at an advantage by going down in weight, you can be more weak or gassed, and there's a lot of dehydration involved. I know it kind of sucks if you walk around at 180, to get lean you might cut down to 165 but then you would be a much smaller WW, but then cutting down to 155 is even harder. I don't know what they can do. No one really fights at say 155 the day after weigh ins, they go back up, so is a bit superficial. But you have to have the weight classes to categorize who is best at what division. Its just harder if you are for example smaller WW or smaller MW, because then is either have a disadvantage of fighting someone naturally bigger than you or choosing to fight at an even lighter weight class and be a bigger WW or LW. Its just how it is, plus if its a title fight if you don't make weight and win then you still have a win, but don't win the title. I'm new to MMA, but that's how I understood it, so there are some penalties for not making the right weight I assume depending on the situation, title fight, the fighter making weight having to agree, the winner who didnt make weigh i think sometimes has to give some of their winning money to the disadvantaged fighter? I missed weigh ins, did Diego not make weight? Which hey if he is smaller for a WW and made the switch to LW and isnt making weight, then that kind of makes it seem as though he isnt working hard enough....to not come in on weight for a title fight???

Well it is really hard to pick. I do enjoy the Welterweight fights the most but I like fighters from all the weight divisions. Although I do like that the HeavyWeight division spends a little less time on the ground. I like it better if there is a more even mix.

Welterwieght is definatley the most stacked division in the UFC, including 3 guys who I think could take any welterweight in any other division including PrideFC. (GSP, Hughes, Penn). all the other divisions have talent but there are guys in other organizations that are argueably better.

In the UFC, welterweight because of the talent.

Middleweight. It has the most top fighters who are actually vaible title contenders. Anderson Silva, Rich Franklin, Even Tanner, Mike Swick, David Loiseau, and Travis Lutter.
But hey, it's only my opinion, right?

i think i would have to say the lightweights. they are some scrappy mofos. and why? cuz they have a lot more stamina and they are much quicker. but there arent that many lightweights right now to watch. but there are great fighters in every weight class. and to whoever said there is alot of action in the heavy weight is crazy. but ya gotta love em all!!

Thanks for your question. Much appreciated. I think the heavyweight division is definitely the best with the new addition of Mirko Cro Cop Flipovic. Tim sylvia better watch out. He is gonna bring some excitement that I feel was lacking in that division.
