UFC's Heavy Weight Division and other fight organizations rosters are suffering big time!

It Seems Most organizations are low in the count of heavy weight fighters!
Is the heavy weight division overall becoming less and less?

The top 10 fighters of UFC's Roster

Junior Dos Santos
Cain Velasquez
Fabricio Werdum
Travis Browne
Alistair Overeem
Stipe Miocic
Mark Hunt
Josh Barnett
Roy Nelson
Antonio Silva
INPO.....

This in recent outtings proves that a lot of UFC's Quality of heavy weight opponents is dropping!
They have recently gained a few new fighters from Brazil from the TUF show. but doesnt say anything more than a decent attempt at getting more heavy weights!

Can we make the case that UFC and other Organizations are losing ground in finding good heavy weight fighters? I think so! Its starting to look like most heavy weight people either are doing something different or arent in the area of a fight game as a profession! Most men in great physical condition that are bigger than others would most likely cut weight and fight at light heavy weight!
So, this for heavy weight fans is a big bummer!!


For Bellator, there roster of Heavy weights that could be called the top 1-10....(in Bellator)

Vitaly Minakov
Cheick Kongo
Alexander Volkov
Blagoi Ivanov
Lavar Johnson
Peter Graham
Vinicius Quieroz
Ryan Martinez
Mighty Mo
James Thompson
This list would round out the top fighters, and the rest are virtually unknown and have just a few to no fights under their belts.
Some people make the argument that a Bellator heavy weight is a 15'er at best against a top 5 UFC fighter. And many people would have to agree!!

World Series of Fighting as it stands in the heavy weight world....

Rolles Gracie
Dave Huckaba
Scott Barrett
Derrick Mehmen
Richard Odoms
Steve Mocco
And this compiles the entire list!!! 6 heavy weights on the roster.....So lets just omit WSOF of a heavy weight division!! They show how hard it really is to build a heavy weight division! but they really are still in the baby stages, and have done well thus far everywhere else...

Legacy doesnt have a heavy weight division......

ONE FC.....

James McSweeney
Tony Bonello
Tim Sylvia
Out of their 8 heavy weight fighters, these are the promising from the list, Not to diss all the rest, but we wont know any of them, so why list them?

ONE FC seems to be putting together a nice Organization at this point, but again, this is a great example of how hard it is to put together a heavy weight division!

BAMMA Heavy Weight Division!

Mark Godbeer
Gzim Selmani
Oli Thompson
Ricco Rodriquez
Marcin Lazarz

This is 5 of the listed 6 heavy weight fighters!!

Heavy Weight Fighters need to get out there and compete!!
This is ridiculous!!

Is the Heavy Weight Division dying as a whole?

You be the judge!

UFC obviously has the best of the Org's but of course they do, they have a shit ton of money to back it!
But, like i said, UFC is still WAY behind in building a heavy weight division that can be fun to follow!!
I think if you want to do the TUF show continuously, throw in More TUF heavy weight shows!!

Here is an example....

UFC, at best has about 30 fighters, give or take, on their heavy weight roster....(some listed have been cut or no longer with UFC)

They have about 90 on their Welter weight roster!!!

Hmm!!!
This is frustrating for the Heavy Weight fan!
Lets keep our fingers crossed......
Say a prayer too, the Organizations in the future are going to need it!!
Heavy Weights are going bye bye!

Or are they?......
