The UFC's heavyweight division seems strange, it has a white champion but most of the top 10 are black, make no mistake they aren't very good, Ngannou who would, despite his power seem to be neutralized by a decent wrestler more often than not (and has already been neutralized by Stipe and Lewis) is #1. Overeem who has been knocked out by everyone and is way past his prime is still #5 - top 5, thoughts? - I always suspect the UFC for some level of caste favoritism, maybe not to the extent of the NFL/NBA. I doubt this is the best talent possible. I say the glamour division since the heavyweight division of any sport usually has wider appeal to a more "casual" and wider audience, the champion is often monikered "baddest man on the planet" so it would make sense for it to be a priority.

Outside of Top 4 in that division, the rest are very average and old. It's pathetic how little depth Heavyweight has. Very few young guns on the rise. And now DC is retiring. I think Stipe should retire after he beats Ngannou again. There's really no one after that worth fighting? Maybe Jon Jones if he doesn't relapse on coke, booze, weed, and get arrested again. Odds are high he will **** up, Tom Iron Rule.
