Current Top 10 Heavyweights
With UFC 155 passing, there was some reshuffling in the UFC’s heavyweight division rankings as Cain Velasquez recaptured the UFC heavyweight title, and Junior Dos Santos suffered his first loss in the octagon. This list covers current rankings, but expect some movement within the upcoming cards with Stefan Struve taking on Mark Hunt, Alistair Overeem taking on Antonio Silva, Gabriel Gonzaga taking on Ben Rothwell, and Mike Russow looking return to form against Shawn Jordan. So, lets take a look at the division as it stands now.
#10 Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira
The legendary Big Nog could have been higher up the list, but injuries have kept him out of fighting consistently the last few years. Big finishes over Brendan Schaub and Dave Herman only added to his legacy and aura. He will face probably one of his biggest test in the last few years when he faces Fabricio Werdum next. If he wins big in that bout it may show how much of a contender he still can be.










Nelson and Browne as well
I would put Mir above Cormier…I would also possibly not put Josh Barnett in top 10 period.
yup, repleace Barnett with Nelson
With Overeem active again that list will quickly change!!!
And I think there are a lot of broken bones in the future for UFC heavyweights facing him!!!
Where’s Shane Carwin? He was in top 5 before taking JDS the distance. Look for him to dominate upon return from injury!
You put Struve over Nelson..
Frankie Barhoum… Cormier would destroy Mir… Hell everyone destroys Mir Mir shouldn’t be in this discussion.
And Shane Carwin hasn’t fought in 2 years.
Wrong ….
I want to see Shane Carwin added, but I know he’s not there because he has not fought in a while. Also, where is Big Country? Sorry, but he’s on a great fight streak and has finished almost every fight. It’s time he gets some respect. If he had fought Carwin, i’m sure it would have been different…
Cormier #1
no. There is Roy Nelson, and why Overreem in list? he haven’t fought in 2012
i cant believe shane carwin went from 5th to not on the list thats bullshit he beat the hell out of frank mir and in the fight against lesnar it should have been stopped in the first round rosenthal always waits till the guy is almost dead
Struve sucks Nelson should take his place
and roy nelson should be there he beat struve and went 5 rounds with dos santos even cut him now thats a mistake
Nelson went three rounds with Dos Santos. Overeem shouldn’t be on the list though. He’s done nothing
Wont be long and Vai Cavalo will be no. 1!! Ppft no. 5 my butt!! Overeem should be no. 10 if on the list at all….
I totally agree with the top!
At least they put overeem in the right spot!
Barnett can destroy all these guys
