The heavyweight division is no doubt week, but saying that Pride is that much better is a stretch. I think the heavyweight division is week simply because MMA is a middle weight class man's game.

More specifically about the Pride Top 5. I can't speak for the top 3 because I have no clue who they are, but Mark Hunt!? That would be the Mark Hunt that didn't win K1 tournaments until the old standard champs retired? Then you say Josh Barnett!? Is that the Josh Barnett that use to get his ass handed to him back in UFC before weight classes?

The only heavyweights I'm looking to see(since Arlovski seems to have lost his marbles) are Brad Imes(I hope his disappearance is because he's gone into serious training with a top camp). Brad has a suspect chin, but so do Silvia and Arlovski. Though Brad impressed me by continuing to get up after Rashad Evans put him down. A fighter I would like to see come back to give Silvia a gut check would be Andre "The Chief" Roberts, but I see there is a gay weight restriction of 265 pounds for heavyweights. Being that The Chief never fought lower than like 320 I doubt he will ever get down to 265. I wish Chuck would decide to drop a little weight and take the titles from Rich Franklin and Matt Hughes. Then he should put on a little weight and take Silvia's belt too.
