It's been bothering for a while now that Nate's been taken off the LW rankings and Conor's still there even though he hasn't fought in mma for over a year now. What's the deal?

I believe it's because Nate's last 2 fights were at WW. He actually hasn't fought at LW in nearly 2 years.

1. Conor McGregor
2. Tony Ferguson
3. Khabib Nurmagomedov
4. Eddie Alvarez
5. Justin Gaethje
6. Edson Barboza
7. Anthony Pettis
8. Kevin Lee
9. Dustin Poirier
10. Beniel Dariush

There's not much that separates 6-10 really. And another 10 guys that could easily go in where Poirier and Dariush are;

That whole cluster of Top Bellator LW's 
Benson Henderson
Pitbull
Michael Chandler
Brent Primus

And a few other ufc guys
James Vick
Al Iaquinta
Rustam Khabilov
Francisco Trinaldo
Michael Johnson
Charlie Oliveira
Evan Dunham


Rankings are so subjective especially at this weight class.

155 has always been a deep division. Very hard to make your mark and separate yourself from the pack. I agree that the bottom half of the rankings could easily be very fluid with numerous fighters easily filling any of the spots between 6 and 25.
