(Hypothetical) Potential Super HW fighters?

[GloutonSang]

The HW division is already slow and untalented except for the top 10 (barely). Super HW fights would have only 1 round of action then absolute boredom due to both fighters being gassed.

Exactly, and there's no reason to have a division if the champ of a lighter division will demolish the SHW champ. I can't believe this keeps coming up.

Gas tanks are the problem.

Can you imagine a 5-rnd SHW fight?

Better make them 1-rnd fights.

Idk Bigfoot vs Hunt wasn't that far off, I bet if u weighed them fight night they'd be closer to SHW then Ud think

I'm saying fighters from the past as well thus my ex of Carwin with no cut before he lost his soul when Lesnar pulled out and he fought JDS vs Cain
He was never the same JDS threw everything at him and he just took it got gun shy
Pre that fight Carwin vs Cain at SHW could easily be all Carwin (in the 1 st at least)

 

[rock2x22]

Plus there's no way Shane and Lesnar fought below 265 for the belt
And remember Bigfoot vs Fedor rumors were everywhere Silva was 280

 

[screaminleeman]

Sure he would. We all know how well people with zero relevant martial arts training do in MMA.

Well, it is clearly documented Arthur's ridiculous superiority in amateur wrestling over his brother Jon. If 10,000 wins and 0 losses to brother Jon is irrelevant toward MMA, OK then!

the talent is just not there in my opinion. there are barely even any heavyweights anymore. if the ufc had more heavyweights and they were subject to the same scrutiny as most other divisions, half the guys on the roster would probably have been cut, but they've not because they need the numbers! the SHW division would be like that, but with less guys and even crappy gas tanks.

Well I think it's nuts to cut HW but just for the sake of devils advo - what happens to the top 5-10 HWs? Does Cain drop down and get a auto title shot?

 

[VolkHan]

Barnett ... not Josh, the other ...

btw actually there's not enough material for a championship, they could do 1-round SHW fights with some freakshow fighter and without a belt ...

if I'm not wrong UFC had a SHW fight before, wsa it Barnett vs. McGee?

 

[GSPenn1991]

Here's a better question:

Are there are SHW fighters that actually have a chance against Cain?

Can Cain make it over 265 pounds, if not, he can't fight in that weight class.

 

[MrVet]

Can Cain make it over 265 pounds, if not, he can't fight in that weight class.

He can just weigh in with some shoes and jeans and he would still smoke everyone in that division.

 

[sampuncher]

Hunt.

 

[Dragon Punch]

Anthony Johnson

Ha I dnt need to click it I saw that page when I was looking up the fights for Japan's NYE event.... I'm not talking about these types of fighters

Huggy Bear is a serious fighter, dude just refuses to lose any weight

Good point/ Good point and I disagree, one ex- I think a 300 lbs Carwin would before he lost all confidence would give Cain and Werdum a lot of trouble

Carwin didn't lose confidence, he just lost his health. Dude had massive back problems.
