Ranking the Entire UFC Heavyweight Roster

There are 25 fighters currently on the UFC’s Heavyweight roster and this is the list that ranks them.

This list is not going to be based on a “who beat whom three years ago” which ends up with the same top five fighters as everyone always sees.

I’m going to factor in every angle and include reasoning for each fighter’s rank. These rankings also do not reflect whom I think would win head-to-head in a matchup, for the most part.

So sit back, relax, break out that big tub of buttery popcorn, and get your fingers ready to type up some disagreement comments!

UFC 135: 5 Possible Fights for Matt Hughes

With the recent news that Diego Sanchez, the Season 1 winner of The Ultimate Fighter, has bowed out of his matchup with former welterweight champion Matt Hughes, speculation has already run rampant as far as who the suitable replacement will be. 

“The Dream” was on a two-fight win streak over former contenders in Paulo Thiago and Martin Kampmann. In those two bouts, Sanchez netted the evenings “Fight of the Night” honors, which instantly propelled him back to the upper echelon of the 170-pound class.

Now that Sanchez has suffered a broken hand in preparation for the bout, Hughes is now left wanting. With no dance partner in the co-main event for UFC 135 later this month, who will step up to meet the legend?

The UFC has the best MMA fighters and the best matches in the world. Nobody else even comes close, and those who have, like Pride and Strikeforce, the UFC has just bought out.

That doesn’t mean that they’re perfect. Nobody is, especially when there are some dozen-and-a-half events each year, with almost 200 fights going on over those 12 months. Several of those fights are expected to be stinkers.

Though the fans hope that those that suck are the ones never shown on free TV during a live event attended by some 6,500 people, every once in a while, the stinkers will come from the Main Event $50 PPV championship fights between two fighters considered to be the best in the world in their division.

This list will look back and (dis)honor these men.

At UFC 134, Rousimar Palhares was involved in one of the most puzzling moments in UFC history. After rocking Dan Miller with a head kick, Palhares walked away and climbed the cage in celebration.

This was all well and good.

However, referee Herb Dean had not stopped the fight. When Dean informed Palhares that he had prematurely rejoiced, the bout resumed and Palhares was nearly knocked unconscious by Miller.

In the end, Palhares recovered and avoided what would have been one of the most jaw-dropping turn of events in MMA history. Still, this series of occurrences was still shocking to any fans watching.

In honor of another interesting blunder for Palhares, who was recently knocked out after accusing Nate Marquardt of greasing mid-fight, here are the top 50 most jaw-dropping moments in UFC history.
