Who has the better Heavyweight Division?

Question

UFC or Affliction

UFC has Mir, Gonzaga, Werdum, Vera, Herring and Minitauro Nogueira. But they also have some up-and-comers in Lesnar, Carwin, and Velasquez.

Affliction has Tim Sylvia, Arlovski, Minitoro Nogueira (Big Nog's Twin Brother), both Emelienankos, and are probably going to have Couture at the end of the year.

Which is the better lineup?

Answer 1

I still say UFC and little Nog is a light heavyweight dude,yeah losing Arlovsky was stupid in my opinion but it happens,neither Emelianenko has fought Mir,Werdum,Vera

or Randy so to me they're still a lot of hype in my opinion,who dodges the chance to be in the UFC honestly,who have they fought lately? I just dont think they're the best and Mir doesnt get enough credit,the UFC is where the real fighters go who want the toughest and best fighters no matter what,no easy wins like Dana said and lets face it no one can compete with Dana

Answer 2

wow a good mma question, its been so long....

anyway, this is a tough one. If affliction gets couture i'll go with them, they would have the two best heavies and i still think arlovski is top 5 on potential alone.

ufc is certainly alot deeper, gonzaga, verdum, carwin, and even velazquez are top notch guys who are gonna be around for some time, as far as i know they still have check kongo to and he is no joke, (on his feet anyway).

problem with affliction is if they get couture how many times can they have him fight fedor? no one wants to see tim silvia fight, i would LOVE to see fedor fight arlovski, i think if arlovski trains and has his head right he has a good shot at fedor. but other than that they will have to have fedor v couture 3 times

Answer 3

Affliction has the better line up-they have the top 2 heavyweights in the world-Fedor and The Natural.  That's all you need to know.

Answer 4

I say UFC.

Answer 5

Elite XC has the best heavyweights.

Answer 6

I'd say they are in a dead heat right now with Affliction edging out the slight advantage with the #1 HW in Fedor. The UFC has an illegitimate champ in Noguiera, no matter how much I like the guy he didn't beat Couture.

It seems as though the UFC is losing interest in their HW division and I wouldn't be surprised if they vacate the division altogether in the coming year. There really are no superstars in the UFC's HW division and so it doesn't really make sense to keep it running if it doesn't draw the same way the LHW, WW, and LW divisions draw.

Answer 7

LOL @ Definately UFC.  UFC may as well not have a heavyweight division.  It's terrible.  Their "Champion" got utterly destroyed 3x against Fedor alone.

BUT, Aflliction has yet to put on a show.  Let's maybe revisit this question when they actually have a few fight cards.

Answer 8

you forgot barnet and Rizzo being with affliction, all the ufc really has is Nog, and fedor and barnet, and rizzo, especially when you add in sylvia, and arlovski push affliction way over the ufc.

Answer 9

Definately UFC

Answer 10

Affliction
