seems the only thing that has changed in the HW division in the last 20 years is the skill level of the T10 guys has been getting better.


but I also wonder where do we go from here? like outside of the whole "everyone has the power to end the fight in one punch" narrative, the skill discrepancy in that division is probably the highest in all of the men's divisions between the top guys and everyone else. like will we just keep seeing the same people at the top or will the skill level in the entire MMA HW talent pool rise? from the looks of it right now guys like Ngannou, Gane, Aspinall, and Blaydes are just special outliers that didn't get crushed by the old legends like Reem, Cain, JDS, Arlovski, etc.

There isn't too much notable talent outside the UFC. Bellator and PFL's HW divisions are getting dominated by 235 pound guys. Malykhin and Bhullar are decent in one but not much is going to light the division on fire. Let's just hope the likes of Game and Aspinal are signs of what is to come.

Also Arlovski could deserve a top 15 opponent after this imagine he somehow breaks into that again.

Arlovski -130??

Predictions: 4 of 11 Winners, 2 Perfect, 275 Points   |   Tied for 3129th

Seems like another perfect opponent for Arlovski to decision, but my luck, I'll take him here and he'll lose...

Thoughts on this one?

Tempted to throw Arlovski into parlays for the future, but again, my luck he'll lose this one...

I'm with you, but all 3 of those fights I have a sneaky feeling could be ******y in any one of them.

Short underdogs that tapology fades, usually end up being at least 2-3 of the 4-5~ underdogs on a card. Sometimes almost all of them like last weekend (Leavitt the only one being favored by tapology out of the 5 UDs that won).

I like Gerald as a dog though and Dawson as a shorter favorite, but Fili @ like -270 up to -300 is sketch land.

Andre Fili looked great in his last fight, he should smoke Brito here. Based on his last two performances, Brito doesn't looks like he's UFC level.

Yeah not sure I understand the matchmaking on that one. If Brito had beaten algeo, I would say he maybe has a chance, but he showed some questionable fight iq in that fight

Collier vs. Arlovski
Andrei Arlovski, DEC
Arlovski is slowly begining to establish himself as one of the best heavyweight to ever to it. I mean, the title he won was centurys ago, but the fact that he's still competitive at this level in the UFC and still winning against young lions just outside the top 10 is ******* impressive to me, a little bit like Overeem a few years back.

Font vs. Vera
Rob Font, DEC
This is a great comeback selection for Font. Chito is a slow starter, and while he hits hard and picks up as the fight goes on, Font has a great fight IQ and will be able to accordingly adjust. Font is going to surprise people in this one and rebound beautifully, imo.

Anyone have a prediction for this fight? I see lots of people picking Fili but I am on the side of Brito. I think if he can fix his cardio, this fight is easy for him.

It’s definitely not easy for him and fili looked amazing last time out unfortunately ended in a NC Bryce ain’t a bad loss neither is sodiq yusuff
His other losses are Calvin kattar, Michael Johnson, yair, max, and Pepey and one more before ufc but he’s been around 
Brito looked awful vs bill Algeo and also didn’t look crazy in contender series so he’s lucky to be in the ufc he’s not on the level of Fili here
