Gabriel Gonzaga - he's an animal. If anyone ever deserved the title "Axe Murderer," it's Gonzaga. He may never become a champion, or even approach top contender's status again, but a fighter has to fill the back of their underwear a little when they hear that Gonzaga is their opponent. Aside from his debut, Gonzaga never fails to deliver a memorable fight in the UFC, and always has me at the edge of my seat. The Human Rights Council is certainly at the edge of their seats, whenever Gonzaga fights!

Junior dos Santos - I became a JDS nut hugger the second he knocked Werdum clean out. With just one punch, the screaming bloody murder hype on the Internet for Werdum crumbled. Since then, he has paved a road of complete destruction. This guy will be the future Heavyweight Champion, depending on how he can handle the wrestling of Lesnar, Velasquez and Carwin.

Cain Velasquez - an animal, as well. The guy has a determination that is absolutely unshakable at this point. In my opinion, of all the UFC Heavyweights, he has the very best shot of beating Lesnar. Lesnar dealing with Couture was one thing, but dealing with someone as fast, hungry, focused and as relentless as Velasquez is a completely different story. Hell, if Velasquez continues to evolve like he has, I'd wager that he could beat Fedor, too.

Brock Lesnar deserves a honorable mention. I've been a big Lesnar fan ever since his pro-wrestling days, and am floored by the impact he's made in only 2 years as a Mixed Martial Artist. Without a doubt, Brock Lesnar is the biggest name in the sport. Not only that, but he's scary as hell. Being that big is one thing, but being that size AND having great technique on the ground? No wonder Mir is obsessing over yet another fight; Lesnar beat all of the sense out of Mir!




Avoid Bas' UFC fights at all costs; he got the shit kicked out of him in both. You could probably chalk that up to him peaking while in Pancrase, as well as injuries. He managed to TKO TK, but received an completely undeserving, WTF-worthy decision (and therefore, the UFC Heavyweight Championship) over Kevin Randleman. Rutten winning a decision was an even bigger robbery than Machida winning a decision over Shogun.

The Pancrase stuff is good, but the talk of Pancrase being worked never dies down.

Brock...because no one likes him...as a man that hunts fights and gets on top of his woman i can only wish the best to him in ufc. One hell of an athlete like him or not.

Alistair Overeem

Just had to follow my instinct. If he would be successful I would be happy.

Favourite HWs of all time:

Fedor - nuff said
Brock - An animal - shook the HW division up and pretty much turned it on his head
Cro Cop - Along with Wandy, one of the reasons I got so into MMA back in the early pride days

Brock Lesnar - Love him or hate him, he has dominant wins over Herring and Mir and beat Randy Couture to win the World Heavyweight Title. The guy is a legitimate monster and could beat anybody in the world if he comes back healthy. I don't think Fedor stands a chance against him, no matter what people think. Brock has a legitimate 40 pounds on him and better takedowns than anyone he has ever faced. Brock is the #1 heavyweight in the world in my opinion and I love that he doesn't pander to the fans.

Cain Velasquez - Expect to see him face off with dos Santos or Lesnar by summertime. This guy's destruction of Big Nog was a thing of beauty. The ability to pick apart one of the best heavyweights of all time with minimal effort is unreal and Velasquez keeps getting better.

Junior dos Santos - This young guy will see a title shot in the next year. I expect him to fight Cain at UFC 117 or sooner. Great personality. I fell in love with him as a fighter when I saw his very real and very emotional response to winning his fight with Werdum.


My thoughts on other top heavyweights:

Carwin - Big fan of this guy. I don't think that he is ready for Lesnar, but I think that he'll be able to score a TKO win over Mir. He has ridiculous power in his hands and was a top level wrestler. He'll be able to prevent Frank from
getting into the positions he wants.

Fedor - I think he lets his management control him too much. He's essentially ducked the biggest challenges in the world due to the demands of M-1. He won't fight Lesnar, Mir, Velasquez, Carwin or Couture. He wants Overeem to defend his title before fighting him? What a joke? You don't make demands on the champion before he gives YOU a title shot. That's absurd. I can't wait to see him have his face smashed in. Also, his skin is made of paper and he bleeds like a stuck pig. The Rogers fight was a serious wake up call to his fans that he is not invincible as they'd like the world to believe.

Mir - I don't buy into the guy. His win over Lesnar was a thing of luck, in my opinion. The win over Kongo didn't tell us much. The knockdown was a surprise to Kongo who was expecting a takedown attempt, but he recovered immediately and in the process stuck his neck out and got choked. Everybody knows that Mir was winning that fight via submission because Chieck has no grappling ability. The Nog win came against a guy coming into the fight with a major staph infection.

Overeem - I can't wait to see his return to America against Rogers. I like this guy a lot and I'd love to see him sign with the UFC one day. His allegiance obviously isn't with Strikeforce, as he abandoned them for the last couple of years.

Brett Rogers - an enjoyable fighter to watch but extremely one dimensional. He needs to work on his ground game and he could be a threat to anyone.

Bobby Lashley - only time will tell with this guy. He needs to step up the level of opponent or people won't take him seriously. It's good that he's getting some experience now.

1:Fedor : He is simply the best..
2:Cain.
3:Carwin...

Interesting considering Fedor has almost not fought anybody on that list, and still he is no1.

Im starting to think that unless he does something drastic he will drop from all lists very soon.
