I mean look at this:
Champion: Stipe Miocic
1.Alistair Overeem
2.Fabricio Werdum
3.Cain Velasquez
4.Francis Ngannou
5.Mark Hunt
6.Derrick Lewis
7.Alexander Volkov
8.Stefan Struve
9.Marcin Tybura
10.Aleksei Oleinik
11.Andrei Arlovski
12.Junior Albini
13.Travis Browne
14.Curtis Blaydes
15.Tim Johnson
The only fighter that is truly legit and active is Stipe and the only legit prospect is Ngannou....the rest is filled either by journeyman nobodies or 40 year old damaged farts...
USADA has taken from us : Cro Cop, Frank Mir, Lesnar, Rothwell, Josh Barnett, JDS...those are veterans also, but still divison would be much much deeper and interesting...
Compare this to PRIDE's division from more than 10 years ago:
Fedor
Nog
Mirko
Barnett
Kharitonov
Alex Emelianenko
Werdum
Hunt
Randleman
Coleman
Igor
Herring
Fujita
Schilt
etc. plus all the openweight fighters like Wand, Saku...
Conclusion.....
PRIDE >>> UFC
and
USADA is killing HW divison and the excitement in this GOAT sport
