The UFC Feedweight Division is one of the most exciting and competitive in the promotion, with some of the greatest hunters ever participating in the 145 pounds of weight class.
The hunters in this class are some of the most well -rounded and dangerous in the UFC. With a wide range of hunters, explosive strikers, the best technical grapplers and more, there are few divisions that are so entertaining to look at than the feather weights.
Winning the UFC -Fedweight title means that you are the best of the best and respected among your colleagues. However, the way a hunter wins and how fans think about him can be equally important when confirming an inheritance.
These legacies will be investigated if I look to rank the largest UFC -Fedweight hunters in history, including one of the most popular and notorious hunters of all time.

5. Ilia Topuria
You do not call yourself 'the legend', unless you think you are a great time, and Ilia Topuria is exactly that.
He recently drove himself 'La Leyenda' again after Topuria had left the UFC -Fedweight title. He ended his reign with a record of 16 fights and 0 defeats, an impressive total while he goes to lightweight.
As one of the most difficult batters in the UFC, it is easy to see why Topuria was so dominant. Recent knockout wins on Alexander Volkanovski and Max Holloway helped to strengthen his legacy while moving a weight class.
Topuria is unbeaten and an extremely confident hunter who excels in wrestling and striking. He is a hunter who could have dominated the division for years if he had the ambition.
4. Conor McGregor
Few men are more remarkable and notorious in the UFC Dan Conor McGregor, who dominated the featherweight division for a while.
The Irishman achieved five wins on the leap to earn a shot at the interim -feedweight champion, while McGregor Chad Mendes eliminated to become champions for the first time.
McGregor defeated Jose Aldo, a large, with a record setting of 13-second knockout on UFC 194 to become the undisputed UFC featherweight champion and to stamp its authority in the division.
He was known for his pinpoint -nouvulus and the ability to read opponents, which he used with great strength during his time as a featherweight.
He never lost the title and left it for inactivity, but McGregor's popularity in the Chase helped to thrive the featherweight division like never before.
3. Alexander Volkanovski
The Australian powerhouse is synonymous with the UFC -Fedweight Division and settles as one of the most complete hunters it has ever seen.
After going down from lightweight, Volkanovski started a dominant undefeated line in the featherweight division.

Despite losing two fights at Islam Makhachev for the lightweight title, Volanovski won 12 fights in a row, including a trilogy of victories in Holloway.
Volkanovski lost the title of Topuria, but that did not like his assets in the Octagon.
The incredible technical and struggling power of the Australian meant that he was able to dominate the pace of a fight and to control his opponents in the Octagon, and to win victories over some of the best.
2. Max Holloway
Few hunters can claim to be just as iconic in the UFC Vederweight Division as Holloway.
The Hawaiian sensation went on a sensational 13-Fight-winning series on the way to picking up the world championship.
After #UFC300, Max Holloway is the first hunter in the history that contained any variation of the UFC Championship

His incredible cardio and technical skills helped him to overwhelm his opponents and to become one of the great champions in the Feather Waarde Division.
Holloway helled victories over some of the greats of all time, including back-to-back decisive victories over Aldo.
The number of victories that he has (26 with 8 losses) is only matched by the cruelty of his competitions, with fans always guaranteed entertainment when “blessed” is on the map.
1. Jose Aldo
It is difficult to give someone the crown of the greatest featherweight in the history of UFC about Jose Aldo.
Aldo moved to the UFC van de WEC in 2011, with an 18-1 record that showed him that he was one of the best hunters in his weight class.
He proved that in kicking, enjoying an undefeated decade of dominance about the featherweight division. Aldo defended the belt seven times in that spell and showed a command of the division that was rarely seen in the UFC.
It was not only his skill that was impressive, but also his lifespan. Despite the losing of McGregor and Holloway, he returned in 2018 with a huge victory over Jeremy Stephens, while Aldo defeated the Boogeyman with a clattering body shot that puts him down in a lot.
Aldo has a record of 15 wins and 8 losses. However, his influence and dominance in the early days of the featherweight division make him the greatest feather hunter in the history of UFC.
