1. 1

   

   Tom Aspinall

   14-3-0

   Putting Pavlovich to sleep is probably the best performance by any heavyweight since Francis Ko'd Stipe, he is well and truly him
   

2. 2

   

   Jon Jones

   "Bones"

   27-1-0, 1 NC

   With about 3 minutes of cage time in the past 4 years it's hard to asses where his skills are still at, we'll see if twitter fingers can get him out of this unification bout
   

3. 3

   

   Sergei Pavlovich

   18-2-0

   That footage of him shadowboxing on the beach fooled y'all, air doesn't punch back but Tom Aspinal certainly does
   

4. 4

   

   Ciryl Gane

   "Bon Gamin"

   12-2-0

   Best all around striker in the division and still can become champ but having an all time piss your pants moment the first time you fight an elite wrestler isn't the best look
   

5. 5

   

   Curtis Blaydes

   "Razor"

   18-4-0, 1 NC

   Still worry about the chin but always dangerous especially on the ground
   

6. 6

   

   Alexander Volkov

   "Drago"

   37-10-0

   Very underrated imo, has some quality wins and gives guys at the top a tough fight I will be very sad when he gets chinned by Pavlovich
   

7. 7

   

   Jailton Almeida

   "Malhadinho"

   20-3-0

   A throwback to the earlier days of mma where you could win without having any striking, only gets you so far nowadays
   

8. 8

   

   Stipe Miocic

   20-4-0

   Still think old man Stipe with the wheels falling off and a body held together by duct tape still beats everyone below him
   

9. 9

   

   Jairzinho Rozenstruik

   "Bigi Boy"

   14-5-0

   Good striker, can't beat the guys at the top of the division
   

10. 10

    

    Serghei Spivac

    "Polar Bear"

    16-4-0

    The GSP of fat apex heavyweights with bad striking
    

11+

11. 11

    

    Derrick Lewis

    "The Black Beast"  |  28-12-0, 1 NC

    Over the hill and overrated by casuals but still good for the occasional fraud check
    

12. 12

    

    Marcin Tybura

    "Tybur"  |  25-8-0

    Truly one of the heavyweights of all time
    

13. 13

    

    Alexandr Romanov

    "King Kong"  |  17-2-0

    Slightly worse version of Tybura but 5 years younger
    

14. 14

    

    Robelis Despaigne

    "The Big Boy"  |  5-1-0

    While he clearly has the toolset to become a contender he still likely needs more experience before being ready to fight anyone with grappling
    

15. 15

    

    Tai Tuivasa

    "Bam Bam"  |  15-7-0

    I will always cherish him knocking out Greg Hardy
    

16. 16

    

    Marcos Rogério de Lima

    "Pezão"  |  22-9-1

    Surprisingly fast for a fat guy in his 40's
    

17. 17

    

    Mick Parkin

    9-0-0

    Unfortunately one of the divisions top prospects
    

18. 18

    

    Rodrigo Nascimento

    "Zé Colmeia"  |  11-2-0, 1 NC

    He could be dangerous if he didn't throw with the punching power of Bryce Mitchell
    

19. 19

    

    Karl Williams

    10-1-0

    Solid wrestler, doesn't offer much on the feet
    

20. 20

    

    Mohammed Usman

    "The Motor"  |  10-3-0

    Whole lotta dawg in him, unfortunately not as much skill
    

21. 21

    

    Waldo Cortes-Acosta

    "Salsa Boy"  |  12-1-0

    Elite nickname just wish he was fun to watch
    

22. 22

    

    Shamil Gaziev

    12-1-0

    Pretty hilarious that it wasn't until he got a main event that we realized he wasn't very good
    

23. 23

    

    Junior Tafa

    "The Juggernaut"  |  5-2-0

    Him and big bro probably shouldn't be competing in any sport where you need to wrestle
    

24. 24

    

    Martin Buday

    "Badys"  |  13-2-0

    Getting your ass beat by a guy who runs headfirst into the cage isn't the best look as a prospect
    

25. 25

    

    Justin Tafa

    "Bad Man"  |  7-4-0, 1 NC

    Even though he's not that good he throws nukes and does a fun little dance after ko'ing his opponents so he's all good in my book
