Being that he will probably beat brock and retire as a 2 division champ, who will pick up the torch after DC leaves?

JDS vs Ivanov
Cain is "back"
Luke vs Gus
Curtis Blaydes vs Derrick Lewis?
 
They combine the division with the entirety of WMMA and hope they destroy each other.

You could combine LHW with HW and it would be a normal sized division.
 
205 is terrible... even with Cormier. Now heavyweight... some good fights to make but the division is no where near stacked. Going to be interesting how this does playout.
 
We'll see different fighters as champions. Duh.
 
Whether we like them or not every fighter that is 30 and above can't be considered the hope of MMA. The next big thing is most probably outside the UFC. In there only legit fighters below 30 are Blaydes and Volkov.

DC is 39, Stipe 36, Brock 40, Cain and JDS 35+ Glover is around 39. Hunt Oleinik Arlovski Reem are all done. Bader I think takes the Bellator GP but he is 35 too.
 
Jones will come back and win the vacant LHW title. Then will go up and retire DC and take DC's HW title.
 
Black Beast, the most one-dimensional badass on the roster is going to take over. And there's nothing you can do about it.
 
Who do you think is going to get the title after DC retires?
At HW? I wouldn't be surprised if Stipe regained it but I'm not too sure who gets it at LHW, hopefully some up and coming fighter.
 
Blaydes vs. Volkov for HW title

Jones comes back and re-claims control of the LHW division.
 
Stipe/Cain/Volk for the belt at the end of 2019.

Gus/Rockhold/Maybe Yoel
 
He vacates and the divisions move on
