Abysmal state of UFC heavyweight division

[joey gerbils]

Looking at the rankings it's absolute dogshit. Like the worst it's ever been at HW
If Jones doesn't fight Aspinall at this point he is a coward and should be stripped. There's literally no one else.

He already beat Gane and thr next best thing after that is Volkov who's coming off a loss to Gane

Are there even any prospects in other leagues that show any promise?

I moss the days of Brock, Cain, JDS, Darwin etc

stopped caring about the division in the past few months because it's so dead, aspinall could just get 10 title defenses knocking out the HW contenders in 1 minute every time because of how bad they are lol

It's just survival of the fittest

It had been since stipe and Francis. And even then...

 

[HNIC215]

Yea, so true bro!

My whole life the heavyweight champ was considered the baddest/toughest man on the planet.

Heavyweight fighters rained fear in everyone's minds.

It's fuckin terrible now...


I feel the same about boxing too. It's like all the big guys got jobs now lol

No way. The Saudis have been making HW boxing great again.

Joshua getting upset by Dubois
Wilder getting KO'ed by Zhang
Usyk vs Tyson 1 and 2

Zhang vs Kabayel and Dubois vs Parker coming up are fantastic.

Moses Itauma is also an amazing prospect right now. 20 years old and he's finished his last 7 fights within 2 rounds: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moses_Itauma

I'm not a fan of this generation of heavyweights.

Tyson Fury would have been smoked years ago had he fought back in the day.

I like Usyk and Dubois but who else?

It's just bland to me now.

Survival of the fittest GOAT

 

[Ladder Master]

I just take a break and go do something else most of the time when heavyweights are on.

 

[witt1021]

its been this way for years.

 

[BowserJr]

I've been saying this since DC beat Stipe.

All the greats aged out and no one good replaced them

Baddest cousin-fucker to ever live

Ten years ago people were saying Fury sucked and would get smoked the first time he fought a legitimate opponent.

He beat Klitschko, and has demonstrated himself to be a way better boxer than anyone ever thought he would become.

What do you mean by years ago? If we go back a full decade Fury is already the champion, so you should be a bit specific. Do you mean by years ago like 30 years ago?

People have been shitting on heavyweights for decades.

 

[PaddyO'malley]

Mi feel fi di MMA fandem mi cyaan empathize tho #PowerSlap HW div STACKED rn

 

[Misanthropist]

Blame USADA. Heavy means you get more tired early.

 

[tornado362]

The new rankings are even more abysmal, Don’Tale Mayes and Jhonata Diniz are now ranked..

 

[DoubleTrouble]

They fucked up when they let Francis leave the UFC imo.

Having the legit champion just go and pretending like Jones is the real champion is the tip of the iceberg.

A lot of good matchups we could have seen, for example:-

Frank vs Jones
Frank vs Tom
Frank vs Pav
Frank Stipe III
Active Stipe vs Jones
Blaydes vs Jones
Jones vs Tom

 

[Rio Ferdinand]

I wish Tom would fight someone. Anyone.

Dana just needs to make the Tom vs Gane fight for the real belt. Fuck Jon. He ain't fighting.
