This is the worst era in UFC HW history

[Danas_right]

If you actually watched the sport. You'd know that old guys like Overeem, werdum, JDS, hunt stayed top 5 HWs well into their 40s bc no new guys came around.

Guys like senior citizen werdum were beating current top 10 Tybura. Old man Kongo was beating top 5 HW Volkov. 44 year mark hunt was beating Derrick Lewis. 4-4 in the ufc Walt Harris was beating current top 10 Spivac then going on to lose to 43 year old overeem.

All these current HWs were given names to put them over, lost. Had to wait for them to retire, then became top 10.

Worst HW era ever.

Idk we had a timeline that saw Tim Sylvia fight Jeff Monson for the belt

 

[Sonny Qc]

UFC HW roster was at his best in the late 00s

Brock, Mir, Big Nog, Cain, JDS, Carwin, Nelson, Cro Cop, Kongo and more.

 

[J'Ghasta]

no 40s is just prime age at heavyweight

 

[Shane-O-Mac]

it's been much worse, when Sylvia was champ

Was gonna say this. Luckily pride was in it's glory days at that point.

Yup. PRIDE always had a better HW division than the UFC.

Strikeforce's HW division wasn't as good as the UFCs when they were both running events but they did have some HWs that were better than some of the UFCs HWs at the time.

At least on that timeline there were another HWs in Strikeforce/Pride.
It's not only UFC.
Now it's gone everywhere, there's Francis on PFL and that's it. Other organizations have LHW as HW champions and no real HW competition.
If they all unified under a single banner the roster would have 10 good fighters

Worst HW era ever.

This era and the top guys are actually elite and very good.

Stipe, Jones, Aspinal, Gane, Pavlovich, Almeida, Blaydes, Volkov.

That 8 is very good and among the best eras. I would say this division was the best from 2013 to 2015. Cain, JDS, Overeem, Stipe, Werdum, Browne, Arlovski, Mir, Barnett.

 

[WokeWarrior]

nah we got our new savior great hope tom aspinal. dont worry he will save the division, remember bisping
said hes the next Ali.... .... we successfully got that bum francis out tainting the belt and all and now all is left is jones..
and then WE BACK IN BUSINESS BABY.



im just craving all the fun amazing fights to be had once tom aspinal becomes champ.....
we got tom vs gane
tom vs sergei 2 ( russian dollar value francis who got beat up his last fight)
tom vs derrick lewis
tom vs bam bam
tom vs curtis blades 3
tom vs CURTIS BLADES 4
tom vs fake russian francis part 3 /sergei pavlovich

GOD dammit jon jones your holding up the division hurry up and
vacate already so we can see tom save the division.

 

[TheMoa]

Is anyone missing?
Francis
Aspinal
Jones
Nemkov - fought at 205 last year
Anatoly - fought at 205 early this year

Volkov
Pavlovich
Blaydes
Jailton - fought at 205 until 2 years ago
Gane

Should put also put Kane now that he beat Anatoly, but it feels so wrong

 

[Last Falconry]

Right now Jon Jones, Tom Aspinall and Francis Ngannou are all active and most likely none of them will ever fight one another. The promotional arm of the UFC is an embarassment

 

[JBJ was here]

Imagine what it will be like if after Jones retires, Gane beats Volkov, Aspinall beats Gane, and Aspinall has to vacate due to injury.

 

[Ares Black]

Remember when Justin Eilers fought Andrei Arlovski for the title?

 

[markys00]

Wrong.

End of thread?

 

[SuperAlly]

OK.

 

[Lord Pyjamas]

Every era is the worst era in UFC HW history.

 

[HHJ]

No its not, they got Tom Aspinal

There was times when they didnt have him.

 

[runjay]

Hw been gay-as-fuck since big brown left. What’d you expect??

 

[Pitier of Fools]

Idk we had a timeline that saw Tim Sylvia fight Jeff Monson for the belt

That was still a more interesting fight than Jones vs. Stipe.
