[QUOTE="Larksea, post: 554707, member: 43875"] The divisions are pretty interesting right now even though a few of them have one dominant fighter Light heavyweight has John Jones who seems unbeatable Middleweight has Anderson Silva who is basically a freak and best pound for pound fighter in the world and dominates his division Welterwright has GSP who also dominates his division Lightweight has Benson Henderson who looks like he may similarly be a long time champion. You would think this would make it boring but what this will do is create a round of "super fights" where log time champions cross divisions which we should see this year. A John Jones vs. Anderson Silva fight will happen at some point within the next year and it will be the biggest single MMA match up in history. Anderson recently faught at light heavyweight and and dominated. heavyweight division I think is great, as far as I know no champion has managed to defend more than a couple of times. Current Champion Cane Velasques is a beast, very complete kickboxing wrestler. #1 contender and former champ Jnr Dos Santos is the only one who has ever beaten Cane is arguably the best boxer in the UFC and would beat most pro heavyweight boxers with boxing rules. Cane has the ***le but it's basically even between these two, they are 1 - 1 head to head. In May at the same event Cane fights Big Foot Silva and Jnr fights Alister Overeem who comes off a shock loss to Big Foot Silva. The Division has kinda been waiting for Overeem to fight either JDS or Cane to establish a pecking order. Overeem destroyed and retired Brock Lesnar and then had to take a year off because of elevated testosterone levels. He already had a rep as a juicer after fighting for a long time in lighter divisions then suddenly becoming a Massive muscled heavyweight that has to cut to get under 260lbs. Mark Hunts win last weekend puts him in line for a potential ***le shot later this year after 4 wins in a row, though he will likely have to fight Roy Nelson or Another top 10 fighter before then to qualify. However big talking point right now is the introduction of a womans division. Despite some bad press from a small group of vocal wankers with internet access its set to be easily on par with interest levels and quality as the men. Ronda Rousey will set the bar for some time. Former Olympic medalist in Judo she's rushed right to the top with 7 first round wins all by arm bar. It may sound boring and one dimensional but winning every time by arm bar just shows how good she is at it. her last few fights everyone knows how good she is at arm bar but she still finds it and finishes it every time and sets it up with some ridiculous Judo Throws.
