The current HW division is embarrassing

Aspinall has nothing to worry about. maybe only Gane and Almeida are real threats. He will probably dominate this division for years.

I said it like 20 times already, but here it goes again. You have MW fighters going into the cage weighing 220. Natural HW’s fighting at LHW just because they manage the cut. Then people make fun of Fedor or Mirko for being tiny. Weight cutting changed the game. Natural 260 guys who are athletic are earning more money elsewhere and are in high demand. Cut weight cutting. Cut testing. If only it were so easy.
 
I agree HW is terrible right now but the match makers are doing a terrible fucking job with getting the few unranked guys who have potential into the rankings. Waldo is 5-1 with a win over Arvloski, why are you matching him with Beast Boy? give him a ranked guy already. Karl Williams, a big strong guy who can wrestle, isn't fat, has a solid chin and okay striking. Jhonata a sklled former GLORY kick boxer. Both guys undefeated in the UFC, both have good cardio and have potential. Why the fuck did you match these guys together? you should be keeping them the hell away from each other. Even now, the UFC is still doing dumb shit like matching Jhonata with Black Beast who is a very dangerous opponent for anyone who doesn't have the wrestling threat, and could have potentially derailed Jhonata.
 
Not saying its a great HW division but tbh the only times in this sports history across all promotions that had a clearly better one was mid 00s Pride, early/mid 10s UFC and early 10s Strikeforce.

Its just the norm that HW lacks depth. But Aspinall, Jon, Gane, Pav, Volkov, Jailton, Blaydes is not a bad top end really.

These guys need to get in better shape..

Put the burgers down....ur a professional athlete... For fuck sakes... nobody should be carrying 20 plus percent of body fat

Romanov could be a problem is he didnt have so much fat man cardio...

His takedowns are fantastic but only happen in round 1 currently

Romanov is easily 30% bf

He clearly trains MMA, probably daily, so how many fucking calories does that guy put away to keep up that size??
 
The best American HW athletes aren't exactly lining up to get into cage fights for 12k

Barnett and Kennedy last week pretty much summed it up. Fat man dances to the cage and injuries himself pre-fight.

Pathetic.

Did he really injure his leg during the walkout?
 
Totally agree with everything you said, UFC HW 2024 is beyond awful, there is barely any actual fights, a lot of cards there are zero HW fights, and then where there is they are so sloppy and very little skill, its just got worse and worse every year. Horrible

Agreed Kitty Newman HW fighters think they don't have to train and rely on power - but then they don't have any cardio for the power XD bunch of chunkers
