Its surprising that since he lost to a mediocre fighter in Cage Warriors he is undefeated. Honestly I think this Fight Night would be better if it was Topuria vs Allen then the winner would proceed to fight Max Holloway. Idk maybe its me creating dumb fight ideas

I don't like Arnold Allen but there's no way he does anything other than get 1 more fight for a title. As weak as his wins are, it would be absolutely ridiculous to have a 11 fight win streak and STILL not fight for the title. Him vs Topuria would have to be a title eliminator because they're both the top up and comers/prospect contenders (not quite prospects anymore but still not top contenders) and that just wouldn't make much sense. Feed Ortega to Topuria instead and have him get a title shot from that, and let Allen lose to Holloway. Tbh I think there's a good chance Topuria beats Volk and becomes the champ (especially if the upcoming loss to Islam weakens him) so I reckon he'd beat Arnold's ass like Holloway will, but idk. That's a tricky matchup for him. Rather just see both of them get a shot to fight for the belt by beating a top 5 fighter

But Brian Ortega grew up on the mean streets and had to fight his way out, he's got street credit. Modelo.

By that point he is so disabled after Volk and Holloway fights that Topuria would send him on a wheelie

Emmet and Rodriguez wins aren't much better, a lot of Emmets and Rodriguez wins are either injury, Comeback wins in a fight they're losing or decsions that are bad decsion

But honestly, Movser Evloev and Illa Topuira are the only 2 ranked fighter on good wins, Featherweight fights end in **** way most of the time now

HOT TAKE

Predictions: 6 of 14 Winners, 2 Perfect, 380 Points   |   Tied for 2699th

Still FTW is more competitve than lightweight, the division keeps on moving while in lightweight we have in the top5 Dustin Porier and Michael Chandler. One is ducking Benny Dariush which forced Oliveira to step up and litteraly instead of taking off which he deserved he will be fighting Beneil Dariush in May, while Chandler who was at analyst desk is ducking Mateusz Gamrot, this matchup doesn't seem a mismatch both are good fighters both are coming of a loss. The only guy I can say good thing about in LW is Justin Gaethje. And honestly I am rly rly pissed how ppl forgot what he did with Tony and I can see him knocking out Fiziev. But as it stands I think FTW and MBW > LW. Its just not competitive enough

Fair enough but LW still has the best talent, the biggest stars, the most skilled fighters, and everything in between. A few people at the top just need to stop ******* ducking and it’ll easily be the best division.

Also no need to specify BW, males are the default. Nobody cares about FBW lol

Talent favors Lightweight yes - Bonfim brothers, Joel Alvarez, Thiago Moises, Guram Kutateladze (Fun fact Polish fans are still crying about the decision in Guram vs Mateusz, while I watched it and questioned myself how tf Guram thought he lost) and old vets who are doing still good enough for UFC to keep them like Michael Johnson and Bobby Green 
But when I compare the brightest star in BW and LW. Nah just nah, Suga over Paddy all the way. Unless you talk about Oliveira as LW biggest star then I agree and I agree about current Lightweights being more skilled

Then I agree, Oliveira is a bigger star than O'Malley. But Porier is litteraly a woman of 0 honor and 0 respect for guys in her division. She should learn from Jiri Prochazka how to not be a ******* Diva, Chandler is worse cause she also has Dana White privelige so she can duck Tsarukyan at will (And Gamrot, and If I was him seeing Gamer finishing Stephens in 2 minutes I'd be ducking that guy too, Arman is a bigger savage though). But eventually Dana will have to move on from guys who just take up the spots in rankings like Porier, Chandler and RDA (Yes Rafael Dos Anjos is also a problem for the division). And also since I mentioned Gamer I must say that at first I was like : Oh man another guy from Poland hyped like Grabowski but will get cut from UFC faster than I can put myself in good shape. But hell nah my countryman actually can take a hammer that normally puts ppl out cold (Tho if that was Justin's shot Gamrot would be on a wheelie)

Dustin beating Connor made him bigger than any of these by any logical and numerical way.
He was already a star based on fun style and cool guy attitude don't get the hate he is a good guy.
Seano has become a bit of a star to real mma now and I like his growth close fight or not.
Star power is totally subjective so don't expect many to agree.

I don't like her even though she beat my least favourite fighter in Conor McTapo, she is now holding up the division and for me Dustin Porier is not a star she is utterly inferior to true based gigachad Charles "Do Bronx" Oliveira
