Time for the Jump Off.

So here we are years away from the Tim “I got KOed by Ray Mercer” Sylvia as UFC heavyweight champ. Exactly how has the UFC heavyweight division come so far in a very short time? The answer is what we are all happy about as hardcore MMA fans. The growth and popularity of MMA has attracted athletes of this size and caliber like never before, and we are witnessing just the beginning. And to top it all off the best and the brightest are in the UFC.

Brock, Mir, Shane, Cain, & Dos Santos are all talented enough to be the champ.  Not to mention the youngsters in the division who have yet to been tested like Todd Duffee that will surely get their chance soon enough. So many legit contenders in the UFC can we PLEASE stop with the hypothetical questions about any of these guys taking on Fedor. Now he may not be fighting Werdum in April? Not exactly the stellar match-up, but still its a showing at least. Bye M-1, take your ball and go play elsewhere.

 Enjoy the here and now in the UFC, never has a division been so stacked with such great athletes who can beat each other on any given day. I’m not sure we can say the same for other division in the UFC. Super Hulk tournaments, pass,  A champ who won’t defend his belt , pass. I am officially off the Fedor bandwagon, my sweater is off, I don’t need it. Neither do you. Nothing brings them in like a Heavyweight fight and 2010 will have plenty of the biggest baddest men on the planet fighting  inside the Octagon.
