The Heavyweight Division Sucks Again

The winner of Tim Sylvia and Antonio Nogueira will face....Fabricio Werdum, in a guaranteed snoozefest.  I remember what it was like a year ago, when the heavyweight division was full of promise.  Nogueira and Cro Cop had just been signed, Randy was coming out of retirement, and the potential demise of Pride had people salivating over Fedor coming to the UFC.  The division is now a wasteland, and there's not much they can do.  

They better re-sign Arlovski, and hope Lesnar does great.  I feel terrible for anyone who has to experience Sylvia/Werdum live.

UFC just signed a new fighter named Shane Carwin according to MMAJunkie.com

Re: The Heavyweight Division Sucks Again
I'm not sure it's fair to say it sucks.  Sucks compared to which other organization's Heavyweight Division?

Maybe it sucks compared to other weight classes in the UFC, but at any given time one of the weight classes has to be the least interesting/competitive.

Re: The Heavyweight Division Sucks Again
It's completely unfair that after Arlovski beats Werdum, Arlovski is demoted while Werdum gets a title shot.
