I am not saying they don't have bodies at that weight class, they don't have talent. They had 1 star and 1 rising star. If you add in Stipe they had 1 fading star.

Look at all the hype they made up for Cyril, they are desperate for a HW Star.

Agreed, they are struggling a bit with the heavies. That's the case pretty much everywhere it seems. The UFC has a guy that won the contender series and went on to win his UFC debut against Justin Tafa that looks like a toss-up. He's fighting a main event fight against Derrick Lewis on July 12. Tallison Texeira, a 6'7" 263 lb. Brazilian that's 8-0 with 7 wins by KO and 1 by sub all in the first round. I'm not sure what a win against Lewis does because you never know which version of Lewis is going to show up. I think a win over him means less than it used to but with the landscape at heavyweight beating any of the top 10 guys puts you in the title picture so it should be fun.
