It’s been a year since the last prospects series, but here we are again. Every weight class will be touched, from heavyweight to flyweight and everything in between.
The heavyweight division is one of the smallest divisions in terms of quantity and depth. Of the hundreds of fighters on the UFC roster, the heavyweight division has just 28 fighters.
The division is currently ruled by two-time champion Cain Velasquez, who defends his title at UFC 160 against Antonio “Big Foot” Silva. Other contenders in the division include Junior dos Santos and Daniel Cormier.
Here are five heavyweight prospects that the UFC should sign to help add depth to the division.
Note: Here is last year’s top-five list. None of the five included were signed.
