I'm sure I am forgetting some great fighters, but these are just the ones I can come up with off the top of my head (in no particular order).

This got me thinking, has there ever been a division as stacked as this?

What was/is the most stacked division in UFC history?

Who fights Hendricks for the belt after GSP quits?

Is and has been the most stacked division for years.

Just think out loud here but if GSP were to retire, would it be possible for the UFC to hold an old PRIDE style tourney if they did it in Japan? That would be an epic way to crown a new champ.

I also think that NSAC or any other commission wouldnt take too kindly to it.

Dana doesn't like the GP format. He's said it many times. It would be amazing and would no doubt bring viewership. I'd like to see a GP every year in multiple divisions. I think its a great way to bring up contenders and introduce new stars. Phone Post 3.0

Is the conduit fight actually on ? If so, and, he performs great and gets the W even without a finish it would be hard to give him a shot. Phone Post 3.0

He faces condit in like 3 weeks.



So yeah if he loses he'll probably face a guy within the top 15, maybe top 10.



If he beats condit, he may have to fight again, since they're doing hendricks after.
