Upcoming Ufc HW fights

[Evangelion]

There is a lot of upcoming HW bouts, including a title fight, the former champs return, the debut of two top prospects and both of the Ufcs top HW contenders.

The HW division has taken a lot of shit recently, and rightfully so, with the division aging, a lack of prospects and title defenses a rarity but the Ufc has a legit group of elite heavies and has signed quite a few really solid prospects. The upcoming months hopefully are a preview of things to come.

Ben Rothwell vs JDS-
Gonzaga vs Derrick Lewis
Curtis Blaydes vs Frances Ngannou

I'm not familiar with some of the new guys they've signed but hapoy to see they've brought some new talent in. I'm looking forward to Rothwell/JDS and what looks to be a great title fight with Werdum/Stipe.

 

[Lucifer Alpha]

The Zagreb card looks like the UFC is throwing all their HW prospects on one card and just hoping at least one pans out.

 

[The Big Babou]

Some of those listed bouts could almost be seen as being "retirement fights"

Hunt vs. Duffee

 

[TCE]

Hunt's training for someone to pull out last minute. I have a feeling Hunt will be fighting at UFC 200.

 

[RawHawg]

If Derrick Lewis wins, I think him vs Roy Nelson would be an explosive fight.

 

[Evangelion]

Hunt vs. Duffee

Hunt would absolutely slaughter Duffee. Don't see how that fight makes sense

Get Hunt another win before rematching Werdum

Get Hunt another win before rematching Werdum

Hunt is like 4th in line for a title shot. He needs to beat another top 10 heavy to get in line with Cain, Reem and Rothwell

 

[ReadWrite]

Only interested in Rothwell and Overeem fights.

 

[emog1]

I hope Overeem kos Arlovski quick
So we can see Hunt vs Reem at 200

If Reem wins he's getting a title shot, not fighting on Ufc 200 undercard.

 

[Evangelion]

Only interested in Rothwell and Overeem fights.

Have no interest in the HW title fight, Cain vs Browne- or Ngannou vs Blaydes?

 

[Thesnake101]

East vs Duffee would be a good fight imo.

Winner of AA/Reem would be good

 

[Evangelion]

Winner of AA/Reem would be good

Once again if Reem wins he's not fighting Hunt. You don't beat two top 5 HWs then fight a guy outside the top 5. If he wins he will get a title shot

East vs Duffee would be a good fight imo.

Like this plus

Nelson vs Lewis
Mir vs Gonzaga
Hunt vs Ruslan Magomedov

If Wedrum doesn't pull out again too. AA and Hunt would be good too.

Werdum isn't pulling out of headlining a stadium card in Brazil
