Still better than LHW

Gus vs Shogun 2 is in the making

The UFC will probably never have a dominant HW champion. The division is plagued by injuries, the dangers of being KO'd with 1 punch, the lack of talent, lack of constant fights, etc.

 

[Unfinished Sentenc]

they should merge flyweight, bantamweight, and heavyweight

 

[StayCranked]

soon 7 when the Reem is done with Stipe

 

[Exemplar]

This won't change. Less prospects at this size and talent than the smaller weight classes. Human physiology dictates this.

 

[FadeLess]

I sure would like Hunt to make it into that list ... it most probably will never happen tho ... damn shame
Yeah , UFC is gonna struggle to search and find new talent in the near future ... that is what makes me wonder if selling UFC product atm is not the smartest idea for theyre current bosses. I hope it doesnt happen tho

Anecdotal evidence; I've met approximately one dude who would qualify as HW that actually trains martial arts. Big dudes that do MMA is rare, statistically speaking.

Nice observation though.

Totally. Big dudes = more wear and tear on their body / injuries

 

[Large Hound 77]

That's the one punch power talking.... I could see Hunt and Reem make that list if given an opportunity for the belt

 

[BLACKWOLF]

Rosholt was doing alright and then they cut him, Kongo would likely still be in the top 15 as well.
