The heavyweight divison is looking better than ever.

[MeatWagon06]

If only they could get Mir & Nelson back from Bellator we’d be in business.

 

[Fesaine]

Well, it did hurt my grammatical sensitivities alright:

You writing most certainly hurts that fragile feeling.

Dc, Reem and Jds are old/ washed up. They need to retire.

 

[krelianx]

You're cute.

 

[Beebop]

Burp

 

[Mondo Freaks]

Hw div is trash.

 

[Joseph_McBride]

True
I think Rozenstruik is going to get viciously ground and pounded by d1 reem. It's way too soon for him to fight someone like Alistair.

Ngannou went from AA to Reem

 

[Ares Black]

If only they could get Mir & Nelson back from Bellator we’d be in business.

Nah, they are both done.

People on Sherdog won't admit HW is a good division because it isn't the Pride 2005 roster.

That, and the fact that it absolutely sucks

 

[A.S. Deep]

heavyweight champ: Stipe miocic
Contenders/Top guys: Daniel Cormier, Ngannou, Curtis Blaydes, Volkov, Black Beast, JDS, Overeem, Walt Harris, Ivanov


then we have very promising prospects like: Cyril Gane, Rozenstruik and Pavlovich.

The heavyweight divsion is looking more stacked than ever.

Not as good as the peak PRIDE days or the 2010ish era of prime Cain, JDS, Werdum, Lesnar, Carwin, Bigfoot, etc. But it's better than it's been in a long time.

 

[PEDS Help me Post]

Yep.

That's what this is all about

Holding onto the myth of Prime Fedor and Cro Cop being able to easily run through all of the top HWs today even though prime Cro Cop got starched multiple times as soon as he step foot into a much worse UFC HW division than we have now.

It's actually hilarious to witness the insecurity.

But it's actually true.

HW does suck.


Learn what 'myth' actually means.

 

[Poser Caust]

There are worse divisions in the UFC.

 

[Dr Guildo]

Agree that it was better around 2010 when Cain and JDS were better, aswell as Werdum.

In my opinion Cain and JDS around 2010 is quite alot better than any MMA HW-fighter active at the moment.

Still not as good as when they were all juiced to the gills

 

[Schaub]

Pride had the best HW division. Prime UFC was Cain, Werdum, JDS, Reem, Hunt, Mir, Bigfoot. The pride HW's had too much mileage by that time

 

[Fesaine]

But it's actually true.

HW does suck.

Yes, the pride 2005 heavyweight does suck compare to current heavyweight

 

[Natural Order]

It's terrible mate, just terrible. Not the worst it has ever been, but damn close.

Not better than ever but better than it's been in about 10 years.

The UFC 2013 top 10 HW rankings were Cain, JDS, Werdum, Cormier, Bigfoot, Overeem, Mir, Nogueira, Barnett, and Stipe. 8 or 9 of those fighters are the among the 10 greatest HWs this sport has ever seen. The oldest fighter on that list at the time was 34 years old as well.

This UFC HW division is worse than that, and it's not debatable.
