This is the kind of clown **** that went through heavy weight boxing in the late 80's and early 90's when the talent pool just got really thin for a few years. If the UFC wants to honestly put the best fighters in the bigger weight classes, they are gonna have to spend some money. The rest of the world pays big men a premium, the UFC needs to get on that bandwagon or these debates about who can kick who's *** will go on forever.

Dana only put lesnar in for a title match because it would bring in the most money... Strictly business...

Let's see how long Brock gets to keep his belt. The heavy weight class isn't all that anyways!

205 is where it's at! That UFC weight class is stacked with some great fighters!

Anderson Silva should move up and take Forrest's belt.

The 155 is the best overall class IMO (large amount of talented guys).

155 better than 205?

Are you sure about that?! (I know it's your opinion. I'm just starting a good **** talk conversation)

205 Has Forrest, Evans, Jardine, (maybe) Liddel,Franklin, and Alexander Just to name a few from the top of my head.

155 has Florian, Guida, Fisher, Lauzon and a couple other good fighters!

i think both classes are great, but I would have to give the 205s the slight edge.

Florian, Penn, Guida, Fisher, Sherk, Danzig, Diaz, Franca, Gamburyan, Griffin, Guillard, Huerta, Maynard, Lauzon, Stevenson, Tavares... just name the better guys in the group.

Alot of good talent. I think this weight class is the most evenly matched (meaning alot of guys all on the same level... with a few at the top)

Silva is nasty but he is getting Apathetic and that can lead to a loss.

i agree with the fact that silva is getting too cocky he was playing around way to much with cote but ithink if st piere came up a class he would still have the ability to make it a great fight.

I was looking at the 205's... definitely stacked like you said. Its a toss up, both are great classes.
