Drake Riggs - March 19, 2019

The UFC lightweight division is full of super talented competitors from top to bottom and the argument is constantly being made for it as the best division in the sport overall. As top heavy as it is, fighters from all across the rankings have proven to be competitive with one another no matter the number next to their name. Take ‘Raging’ Al Iaquinta (14-4-1) for a recent example when he knocked off Kevin Lee in their rematch at UFC on Fox 31 in December 2018.
