PrintWe all have fighters where we absolutely cannot miss there fight, right? Doesnt matter who there opponent is or how past there prime they are we still watch cause we know they come to fight. Here are some of my favorite exciting fighters in the flyweight division. I'm gonna make a list for each division, starting with this one
In the featherweight division, my cant miss fighters are:
Leonard Garcia- Obviously not the most technical fighter in the world, but the man comes to fight. He often starts all out brawls, swinging hay-makers and moving forward constantly. His aggressive style has earned many victories, even some that should have went the other way. His back and forth wars against the Korean Zombie and Nam Phan have earned him a spot on my list.
Diego Brandao- This crazy little Brazilian earned a spot on my list again for his aggressive style. This miniature "Axe Murderer" throws fighting smart out the window in favor of trying to knock your head off. Out of his 19 wins he has finished 13 of them. And the arm bar he pulled off on Bermudez (pictured above) was one of the most explosive, I've ever seen. Keep an eye out for this killer in the future, you don't want to miss his fights.
"The Korean Zombie" Chan Sung Jung- One of the most exciting fighters in the featherweight division. He won fight of the year in his first battle against Leonard Garcia, in a controversial decision that didn't go his way. But exacted his revenge in the rematch with a contender for submission of the year via twister (pictured above). He is also coming off one of the fastest KO's in UFC history, where he finished Mark Hominick in just 7 seconds.
UFC Featherweight Champion Jose Aldo- How could you not put the Brazilian flying spider monkey on this list. The man is the most dominant featherweight in the world. I cant even remember the last time he was in real danger. Out of his 21 wins he has finished 15 of them in spectacular fashion. He's one of the few elite strikers that can also defend the take down from the best wrestlers. Expect to see this man dominate his division for quite some time.
Honorable mention: Charles Oliviera, Diego Nunes, Mark Hominick
Those are my top 4 most exciting featherweights I have to watch, Lets see yours in the comments section below, maniac's

One of the best divisions in the UFC.
The light divisions are the best in my opinion, who needs big slow heavyweights who can finish a fight at any time or gas trying when you got fighters who can go at it for 25 minutes easy.
Now, count up your crimes!
no love for Ross Pearson?
"ever heard of a tune up? tee hee hee hee
"ah hee hee hee ever heard of a ritual killing? tee hee hee hee"
"i dont get it"
"you gnaw on her face in public like that again and you'll be one tee hee hee hee"
he's gonna be a force at 145 for sure
he did the cut right too by testing he can make the weight first and be able to feel healthy whilst training and sparring :)
I like your list, I like to watch Hansen and Takaya too is this just a UFC featherweight post? if so then my opinion means nothing haha
What did you think id look like...
be honest aha - Me
I pictured you as a mid size fair skinned englishman
Not this furry majestic stack of pancakes - Scottidog

Its whatever your favorite fighters are to watch at featherweight. any promotion
But for me I get all my featherweight action with UFC now, since WEC is gone and SF doesnt have one
dude i love maximo blanco, cannot wait to see him at 145. think he's much better suited for that division, he's also all kinds of crazy which makes for awesome spurts of extreme violence

garcia has bought into the hype too much
He goes out there to throw haymakers and brawl. And if he happens to win,then thats a bonus. He is a better fighter than he shows. He is just caught up in having brawls for the fans.
Anderson Silva is going to retire Sonnen in Brazil!
Women are at home with their husbands and children. Whores are at the club getting smacked by the Reem.
Dustin Poirier is one name that I felt was missing.
Sad to see he fight the Korean Zombie ‘cause after Aldo they’re the two guys I like the most at FW.
I'm 20 years in and I still win.
