With the big Welterweight Championship fight approaching, I thought I would do a repeat of our Light Heavyweight analysis from yesterday, but for the Welterweight division.
The noise and fluctuations in this division are minimal in comparison. Furthermore, the gaps seen in this list between #2-#3, and #3-#4 are quite comical.
First, some general info:
In early iterations of the list (before this graph), Hughes held the top spot, and although St. Pierre took the lead, he hasn’t clearly distanced himself from Hughes yet. A return to action and a win over Condit would certainly assist him in doing so. Condit on the other hand is on the upswing and a win over GSP would likely propel him into the gulf between #3 and #4.
How fitting is it for Jon Fitch to reside relatively comfortably in the #3 spot, as he has done for quite a long time? Though currently, he too is getting swept away in the rip current that the new Welterweight blood is producing.
