It wasn’t that long ago that the UFC’s heavyweight division arguably was its weakest link.
Statistically, when the record in that weight class for title defenses is three, held by Stipe Miocic, it doesn’t say a lot about fighter dominance over the long haul. Plenty of names have come and gone, making the division a little unstable, at best.

And that’s before former light heavyweight champion Jon Jones even officially enters the picture.
So is heavyweight as good as it’s ever been? And – look out, lightweights! – is it about to become the UFC’s marquee weight class?
