[@kavinraj4689]

Featherweight division has the most elite champions. Only 5 so far and all of them are top level.

[@ManBat420]

Partly because it's a newer division. If it had been around 10 years longer like WW-HW they'd have a handful of guys from the older generations that people would assume are scrubs because they never watched them fight.

[@szymonzimnoch682]

LW> FW by far

[@YoYoLogo]

it’s very elite but it isn’t as elite as LW

[@Nate.V]

Each champion has multiple defenses well beyond concealing there greatness and legacy. It makes me wonder if Conor would have stayed true to himself and not go chasing the money witch I completely understand I can't knock it, he'd probably still be the featherweight champion today.

[@tymtrppr3]

we will see, pretty sure the first real grappler that gets a hold of Topuria will smash him.

[@2g4u7y]

Never forget that Jose Aldo was the inaugural featherweight champ and retained his title for 6 years straight. He’s been competing in the UFC for 14 years and is ranked #8 after a vintage performance win against a serious prospect. The King of Rio and the goat of the featherweights.🤴🏼

[@petecoones1552]

Yeah..he is ranked #8 which is a joke really considering he lost only 1 fight in 5fights against top ranked opponents In other divisions you have Colby covington #4, Chandler #6 rankings are bullshit

[@tedor7988]

volk is the featherweight goat and max is 2nd place but aldo is great in other divisions too which gives him a good resume overall

[@Dlord1PlayStation]

I mean, they literally put Colby in the thumbnail for the Welterweight Champions video even though it was just an interim belt that he didn't even defend. They put him instead of Tyron Woodley and Matt Hughes, who both were undisputed champions with multiple title defenses. 😂 The only legitimate interim champs are the ones who defend their belts (e.g. Tom Aspinall). Otherwise, it's just a glorified #1 contender belt.

[@Crypticmma]

​@@tylerhenriques274 That's not how that works, if you win 2/3 judges it doesn't matter how many the third judge had you losing by, no matter what you'll win the fight. For example, say one judge scores a draw, the next judge scores it for fighter A by one round, the next judge scores it for fighter B by two rounds. The way you said it, Fighter B would win because he won more rounds and got more "points", in reality the fight would be a draw because no one fighter won a majority of the judges. Individual Rounds don't matter, just how many judges overall gave you the fight.

Not sure where you're getting 14 months. UFC 287 where Pereira lost to Izzy was on April 8, 2023, and UFC 297 where Strickland lost to Dricus was on January 20, 2024. So that's 4 champs in a little over 9 months which is crazy.
