Unquestionably, UFC featherweight champion Jose “Scarface” Aldo stands in a class by himself as far as current UFC champions go. Unbeaten since 2005, he has laid a path of destruction with emphatic wins over Mark Hominick, Mike Brown, Manny Gamburyan, Urijah Faber, Kenny Florian, Chad Mendes, Frankie Edgar and Chan Sung Jung. When the Nova […]

For a long time, the UFC lightweight division was beyond reproach. Just as light heavyweight was once regarded as the fight company’s glamour division, the 155-pound class was for years universally heralded as the Octagon’s most competitive. In a sport where chaos was often the default setting, lightweight was so dependably great for so long, […]

The lightweight division is likely the most populated and talented division in MMA. That’s why you see 155-pounders come and go in the UFC, as well as control most of the seasons of The Ultimate Fighter. Who are the future champions and contenders in the division?
