UFC 195 Results: 7 Things We Learned From Lawler Vs Condit

3. The Welterweight Division Is The Most Entertaining In UFC

Consensus opinion on which division can be counted on to provide the most exciting fights has constantly shifted through the years, but right now the welterweight division is the clear leader in that field. A stacked weight class featuring a top ten full of talented and hungry assassins, 170 pounds is the most hotly-contested in all of UFC. Featuring the perfect mix of speed, athleticism and power, the welterweights are the ideal prototypes for what makes a great fight. Take a look at this lineup: Robbie Lawler, Carlos Condit, Tyron Woodley, Matt Brown, Johny Hendricks, Rory MacDonald and Ben Henderson, just to name a few. Any pairing from that list will result in an awesome fight, and in many cases it already has. They may not be the most technically proficient bunch in the sport, but there's no doubt they're the most fun to watch. While his drawing power has yet to be replaced, the absence of GSP from mixed martial arts has been a gift for the division, as we went from one of the pound-for-pound greatest ever keeping a chokehold on the belt to a revolving door of contenders who could all beat each other on any given night. It's added a much-needed boost to a weight class that had lost all mystery and was only being propped up by the star power of a champion significantly better than his challengers who increasingly failed to inspire anyone with his safe performances.
