There are a lot of reasons to be excited about the current state of the UFC’s featherweight division. The champion, Max Holloway, continues to eclipse even the most renowned champions with a high level of activity and fight quality. Former champion Jose Aldo continues his retirement tour of destruction with back-to-back TKOs over Jeremy Stephens and top five contender Renato Moicano. Younger talents like Brian Ortega and Zabit Magomedsharipov have successfully transitioned from prospects to contenders. Featherweight is just a hell of a division filled to the brim with great fighters who all match up intriguingly with one another.
