With 7 LW fights scheduled for the 2 May UFC cards, I thought this was a good time to discuss the most interesting & competitive division. Here are my top 30 UFC LWs. 



Personally I'd have Pettis #1 so it's probably a good thing he's not available at LW now.







Oops, guess I only have 25 so far.

That's exactly why I made these UFC only rankings :D   Much easier than typing each name and a different list for each set of 10 so you can post them in threads like I did.

And looking at mine, I obviously need to update, especially Diaz' spot, to something closer to my official LWs.
