    Werdum just reacts so badly and hates getting hit he would be a terrible boxer

    Doesn't surprise me at all. I had a feeling Werdum was going to upset here tonight, although I didn't feel like it would be pragmatic to go with him. Volkov probably beats anyone not named Miocic, Blaydes or Ngannou at HW(he can win these fights but they're bad matchups for him)

    He's definitely got old but still clearly a top 10 HW in that terrible division.

    I don't see anything stopping Stipe from reigning for the next few years.

    He'll probably be top 10 until he's 45. You just need a pulse to be ranked top 10 today.

    I'm gutted that a top BJJ specialist looks to be on his way out now.

    But I am excited about new faces being at the top of the division.

    Volkov and Blaydes are both good talents and represent a changing of the guard. I'd love to see Minakov over as well as his resume just took a huge boost.

    Stipe, Francis, Volkov and Blaydes are a decent top 4, but I guess we won't really be happy until they can have a decent top ten. Realistically people like Arlovski, Werdum, Hunt and Reem should be in the 16-20 range at their age but there aren't enough people to rank above them.

    Yeah I agree and Minakov would be a challenger to the top guys straight away if he comes to the UFC who badly need new talent and contenders at heavy and light-heavyweight.
    Tai Tuivasa is a guy I think has potential but we know for sure until he gets challenged which Arlovski should do at UFC225, I think it's a nice step up in competiton for him even though Arlovski obviously isn't in his prime.
