The heavyweight division has no depth, and even among top heavyweights conditioning is frequently an issue. That's why they usually don't do heavyweights on the ultimate fighter. Last time they included heavyweights was all the way back in season 2, but half of that cast was actually light heavyweights, including the three best fighters on the TUF 2 "heavyweight" roster: Rashad Evans, Keith Jardine, and Mike Whitehead. Further, they only had to dig up 8 heavyweights for that show, which was split between heavyweights and welterweights, but for this one they needed a full cast of 16. That has clearly involved scraping the bottom of the barrel: bringing back proven failures like Wes Sims and a bunch of ex-NFL players with no MMA experience. It shows, but it's not really surprising. |
I completely agree and understand that - but that's my point in the long run. Why have 16 fighters from the bottom of the barrel instead of mixing it with other weight classes?
I like MMA because of the mixed martial arts, I don't feel as though we're getting much of that this season.
And to be honest, I think Rampage is a douche. I hope a repeat of the end of the Henderson-Bisping fight happens
