As the title says! For the moment, my favorite weight class to watch would have to be a tie between lightweight and light heavyweight. As for which weight class i fall in? Flyweight haha.

right now for me, it's 155. Just the amount of talent in that division is amazing. Also, it seems to be the weight class with the most young talent imo. I weigh about 195 so, I could easily make MW and if I had some great help, I could make WW.

I love watching the fights at 155. So much talent is there right now. I'm about 168 right now, I'd fall under a lightweight after getting in fighting shape and whatnot. Featherweight if i really wanted to. Bantamweight if I wanted to be all KenFlo about it.

I like LW the most right now, deep talent pool and exciting fights. During wrestling season I would be a couple pounds over LW, right now Im a couple over WW

I like lightweight the best right now also. Lots of up and coming interesting prospects that could all vie for the title.

I've never tried to cut weight but if I knew how to, I'd be at bantamweight.

I like the middleweight division, i feel like its the best of both worlds when it comes to speed and power. I would be a bantamweight.

I like the lighweight division b/c it's the most competitve and the fighters are getting bigger and faster in that division. example: G. Tibau, Edson Barboza, Donald" The Cowboy" Cerrone and Ben "Smooth" Henderson. I would fall in the MW division if i trained for mma.

Judging by my favorites rankings I'd say it's Bantamweight then Middleweight.  As for my self I think I would go to Japan and participate in Super Hulk tournaments with Minowa or run around the block a couple times and try and make 170

For me its lightweight! I can't wait for Gilbert Melendez to come into the division and tear it up, deep division and lots of talented fighters.

Inshape im about 225, currently about 235.  I would be a very small lhw or an avg sized mw if i trained to get down there.  
My fav division is lhw, followed closely by lightweight altho feather and bantam are growing on my quickly now that im watching more fights at those weights.  I love how fast and explosive everyone is, its great!!

I don't really have one favorite per se, but 155 seems to always have a lot of good fights.  I am really warming up to 135, not so many finishes, but always fast paced and exciting.  I like heavyweight for the almost mythical body types, i.e, Struve, Lesnar.
My weight class?  I'm 200 lbs, but Gleison Tibau is the same height as me and he is way bigger than I am.

My favorites are the lightweight and heavyweights.  If i was to compete right now,id be a middleweight. If i got into shape id be a welterweight with the potential to cut to lightweight.

Light Heavyweight for me is the one I like to watch the most. Lightweight is the most stacked though. And I at the moment am about 160 so I would be a lightweight.
