I think he could beat Stipe up in tight. Work the clinch, dirty boxing, mix in the takedowns and top game.Seriously lol
Other sports have 260 lb athletes that don't drop hands onto hips in the middle of competition.Heavyweight is fucking awesome. They get tired fast because they're like 260lbs. Heavyweight is the best division imo. Everyone has so much power that it's hard for anyone to get a win streak
Kharitonov tooPride HW division was my shit

Yep. As mentioned, Lewis has his hands on his hips in exhaustion, plotting forward to an eventual KO, proceeds to announce his retirement....and now gets rewarded in fighting Verdum? The #2 ranked HW? Makes tons of sense.The match making blows. Mick Maynard doesn't know how to make good fights. The division is fine, just needs someone who knows how to put the right fights together.

Yeah, it's unbelievable. He was actually rewarded for losing. Meanwhile Alexey subs Travis Browne, something Werdum couldn't do (twice) and then gets the last ranked HW Curtis. And When Alexey beat Browne he was ranked #7 at the time. So Mick books him 8 ranks below for winning!!! WTF!!!Yep.

Who forgot them? I said the list goes on. Sorry I didn't spend all day listing every notable Pride HW lolAleks and Sergei always get forgotten...
What does a HW fight on the lower circuits look like these days? Are there just literally no decent prospects?
MMA is a very different sport thoughOther sports have 260 lb athletes that don't drop hands onto hips in the middle of competition.
I've been a big MMA fan since my pre-teen days but that stuff is just cringeworthy and embarrassing as a fan. Imagine Marc Gasol, a 265 lb NBA player, just stopping in the middle of a possession to watch with his hands on his hips. Unthinkable. Imagine Khalil Mack, a 255 lb NFL player, just stopping mid play to stand with his hands on his hips.
We had the #6 vs #7 ranked HWs and Lewis was on a 6 fight win streak, best in the division. Round 3 he is standing there with his hands on his fucking hips as Hunt comes near him.
Just sad. Lewis got TKO'd by fatigue. 2 minutes earlier the announcers were talking about what great shape he was in too lol. Wake up Stann.

At least LHW has 3 elite fighters. HW has Stipe who seems like the beneficiary of a joke of a division.
Taking shots and giving shots will significantly drain your stamina

Volkan Oezdemir disagrees with you. Dude is willing to fight Gus and DC.I think all weight divisions go through rises and falls. Some divisions more than others. I would say LHW is worse at the moment. But that's just my opinion...
