    The heavyweight division is too much for Jones and Cormier. They will struggle with the size.

    Gutted for DC, he had a great gameplan and was winning clearly before getting cracked.

    This is actually true, I love Jones but he was being a petty/fake/hypocritical clown with that speech.

    HE WAS THE ROOT of all of his problems

    Hit and run on some pregnancy lady's car
    Busted for PED
    Busted for Cocaine/Crack

    Lmfao. He needs to shut up, he is the best fighter UFC has ever had though, gotta be honest.

    All true. Hate him. But very good case for him being the MMA goat.

    I agree with others I think Gustafsson has to be next for Jones before he fights Brock or any other Heavyweights and I would like to see Cyborg v Megan Anderson and maybe Woodley v Lawler rematch. Would be good to see Woodley get smashed by Lawler,theres not a lot of other stand out options for Woodley unless they do him v GSP

    And? He got taken the distance by a washed up Mir. He would struggle with the top 5 today.

    Miocic is definitely legit but its not the strongest or deepest division and I think Cormier could move straight up and beat most of them while I think Jones should wait a year or so before he does as well.

    Gus and Volkan "Turkish Rumble" Oezdemir should be next in line. Not that Semi-retired and irrelevant pro-wrestler.

    Cormier clearly proved in his time there that he was one of the best HWs in the world. Yeah he didn't stop Mir but neither did Overeem, still won easily. Also dominated a prime Barnett and KO'd Bigfoot before he made that big title run in the UFC. Size was never an issue for DC at HW. He wouldn't beat Miocic but he'd easily be ranked inside the top 10.

    Manuwa, feel bad for him. Been on top form closing in on a shot and then gets iced.

    Lawler v Cerrone was very close but I thought Cerrone edged the third.

    Cyborg brutal as ever.

    Woodley, he's boring but damn is he good. Outgrappled the best striker in his division and out struck the best grappler in his division. He'll smash Lawler in a rematch, no idea how much GSP has left. They need to get McDonald over here and quick. I'll say this though, 4 fights in a row now he's faced the toughest possible opponent. We are incredibly spoilt with competitive match making in the UFC. Can anyone think of any boxer today who's fought the number 1 fighter 4 fights in a row? Hell is there a boxer ever who's done it?

    Jones, probably the goat with that performance. I don't mind the Lesnar fight neither, as long as the card is good. Not sure what DC can do next though.

    Great card.

    HW is a great division right now imo. Miocic, Reem and Werdum are all genuine world class fighters. Cain and JDS are two of the best ever. Hunt is on form again. Some great fights to be had.

    Cyborg said in her post fight interviews she is willing to fly to Australia to fight Megan Anderson the UFC should change that December 2nd PPV in Detroit to Australia and you could have 2 title fights in Bisping v Whitaker and Cyborg v Anderson, if they had it Ettihad Stadium Melbourne again they may get a bigger crowd then they got for Rousey v Holm and break the UFC attendance record. Sydney has a Fight Night in the middle of November so I assume it wont happen and we wont get any big fight cards here till early next year if we are lucky.
