How many lower weight UFC champs can the worst UFC Heavyweight beat?

[Oozing BDE]

Here's a partial list of unranked HWs. Feel free to add others.

Ben Rothwell
Walt Harris
Chase Sherman
Greg Hardy

Can they beat

Glover (LHW)
Izzy (MW)
Kamaru (WW)
Olivera (LW)
Volk (FW)
Sterling (BW)
Fig (Fly)

I think WW and below have no chance at winning. It starts to get interesting at MW. Ironically, I think the chances dip at LHW since Glover is so old.

 

[MetaIIica]

Fig, Sterling, Volk would get turned into paste

Izzy couldn’t beat Jan at LHW so odds are he gets mauled by your list, especially by Rothwell.

Fig vs Black Beast or Volk vs Cyril lol. Would love to see those tiny guys run for their lives from a HW

I could see Volk beating Chase Sherman over 5 rounds lmao he is a complete bum <Lmaoo>

It becomes more obvious LW and down. It's not like they can't hurt a HW or sub one but it becomes they cannot take a HW punch. Usman is on the bigger side so I am guessing he walks closer to 200. He used to train with Jarell Miller who is a HW boxer/kickboxer.Usman also trained with Rumble and Rockhold

 

[BigDanStudd]

The HWs you selected are pretty big.

I favor Glover to beat all HWs mentioned and I favour Izzy to beat Chase Sherman. I'll even go so far as to put Usman as a slight favourite over Sherman, just because Sherman is useless and maybe Kamaru could come in heavier than normal and out point him somehow.

Everything else, I don't see it happening. Even a guy like Harris, who isn't great, is so big and explosive I'd have a hard time favouring Izzy over him. Size is a big deal.

Plenty of LHWs that could beat HWs .... HW division is mostly fat guys that don't want to make the cut anymore. DC went up there and beat Stipe. Jones routinely walks into the cage around the same weight as stipe, maybe just a few pounds less.

Glover could beat some HWs just through BJJ skill
Izzy could possibly win some matches too but if they grab him and get him down it might be a short night

Unless you let MW take some weight, i'm not sure it works under LHW...

 

[jimmy dakine]

it depends on if the lightbulb "wants" to change.........oh wait i thought the question was how many heavyweights does it take....oh nevermind

 

[TheScorpionDude]

If you let Volk and up gain weight they will probably beat the shit out of every HW listed expect for Rothwell.
Remember, Rothwell was a fight away from a title shot at one point, beat some legit dudes. If we're talking about prime cringe Rothwell, he beats all the lower class champs easily.

He's 5'6... he won't do anything...

 

[nostradumbass]

Ben Rothwell weighs 265 lbs and submitted Josh Barnett. He isn't close to the worst HW.

well, Volk was a HW when he played rugby anyways

HW volkanovski might be able to take Greg Hardy provided there are no rounds (or inhalers allowed).

210 pounds on left:

 

[TempleoftheDog]

The only weight class I give a realistic chance to of beating a legit UFC HW is LHW. Anything other than that is pure fantasy imo. Maybe a really heavy MW that cuts massive weight like Costa (but not costa himself). But no, the only realistic fighters I would give a chance to are LHW. There are weight classes for a reason.

 

[laleggenda27]

Izzy and Glover walk through Hardy quite easily. Usman is interesting; without a cut and not having to diet down, my guess is that he weighs around 200 lbs. If he put on 10 to 15 pounds (of fat obviously) just to close the gap a bit, it's not out of the realm of possibility that a 215 pound Usman could outwrestle Hardy (although I'd still favor Hardy).

[EnthusiastCultivator]

I personally think Izzy beats guys like Volkov and Rozenstruik who are predominantly strikers, he would most likely get crushed by a HW that incorporates wrestling like Stipe, Ngannou and Blaydes.

I would favor Glover over anyone at HW with the exception of Ngannou.

Any WW and 95% of Middleweights would lose to any UFC HW fighter.

This is Dodson sparring a terrible MW. Dodson is not a champion but he fought for the title before.
