"WW is clearly a shit division"...Really!?

Just because GSP had 1 bad fight doesn't mean he's a shit fighter. He's obviously one of the best in the world.

Plus, what about Jake Shields, who nobody mentioned, having victories over 2 of the guys everybody is talking about when comparing the 2 divisions (Hendo and Okami)? Those are guys who are a weight class above his natural weight. What about the fact that Marquart has lost to a few guys most people have never heard of?

Look at all the guys at WW now. GSP, Diaz, Hendricks, Condit, Rory, Maia, Fitch, Koscheck, Kampmann, Alves, Shields, Ellenberger, Marquardt, Woodley, Eric Silva...then you got guys like Hughes (obviously) and Lytle that were badass in their day as well...that's alot of freakin depth.

When it comes to top 5 or so MW can compare but when we're talking top 10-15 I think WW takes it clearly. IMO it's between WW and LW for the most talented overall division as of right now.
