I had to go with the lightweights because every match I have seen in that division is absolute craziness...these just throw down everything.

I went with LHW myself... I don't really have a good reason, except that it would be my weight class if I fought so it adds a little more excitement for me

Welter weight because of
Rush
Hughes
BJ Penn
I think once BJ beats the newb from that show he will face St Pierre after Hughes gets his rematch. I see lots of good fights coming from that division. I hope to see some new people too from Pride.

Are you sure you're not thinking of someone else? Penn is scheduled to face Pulver at the TUF5 finale, and I'm pretty sure Dana has lined up the winner of that fight to face the winner of Sherk-Franca.

light heavy for me is the most fun, the guys are big enough to score the big KOs small enough to push the pace of a fight, and on the ground they can do major damage. the little guys are fast paced and fun to watch too, but with the bigger guys every punch or kick can end a fight with LWs thats not always the case.

Oh I have no idea, I was just speculating. BTW I think Sherk is gonna pull that one out. I'm not impressed by Franca.

light weights tend to have faster paced fights and you also see alot of flying knees, superman punches and cartwheels to pass guard.
them little guys sure can throw down

2007 will be the Year of the Lightweight, for a number of reasons:
1. There isn't a single fighter in either organization who rules his division the way Hendo, Fedor, and Chuck do (and as GSP and Cro Cop soon will).
2. The UFC's 155 division in particular is very up-in-the-air, because it's so new. It's going to be fun watching all those guys play "Kill of the Hill" this year.
3. There are some good, young fighters on the up. Joe Stevenson, Melvin Guillard, Gilbert Melendez, Tyson Griffin, Shinya Aoki, Bart Palaszewski, and Chris Horodecki.
4. Pride's Lightweight Grand Prix is coming, and those always seem to make for some fun fights. There's also a non-zero chance that this will be Pride's last grand prix. 
5. The UFC's The Ultimate Fighter 5 will feature 16 lightweights, most of whom I've never heard of.

LHW is the best by far. Tito, Chuck, Rashad, Quinton, Renato, and much more... LHW Fighters are the greatest. Huge mixture of Wrestling and Boxing

The best, I don't know. I can say that I think the HW is by far the worst (in the UFC).

The welterweights I like.
A good mix of Strength, Speed, and Skills all thrown together.

Yea I totally agree. Even the lower fighters in the division are exciting to watch.

I like the LW because that would be my class. They can really bring it too. Fast paced and a great mix of action. Of course one of my favorites is GSP so the WW is a close second.
