Score! Miocic is a beast Phone Post

Manny Yarbrough GOAT - FUCKING AWESOME.




more excited about this match up than JDS vs Murr.
Why? Phone Post

I'm pretty excited about this match-up...both dudes are well-rounded and I'd like to see which prospect could have the brighter future.

I'm going with Miocic in this one

 because this will be a fight and not a slaughtering

That's an amazing fight. Will Del Rosario have ring rust though? :( Phone Post

Wow what an awesome fight. I think both guys will be elite HWs in the next few years. I guess one of them may make the jump sooner rather than later.

This literally may be the fight I'm most interested in on the card now. I'd have to say that these may be the 2 best prospects in the HW division right now.

NarlyPersianDude - I hate this, is it a nice fight, yeah it is a great fight. But something irks me here.



Mitrione Schaub and Browne have all been in the ufc for a while, none of them have gone against each other. Stipe and Del Rosario are recent to the ufc, and now one has to ensure the other takes a step back.



I would much rather see Stipe against Mitrione Schaub Browne


and Del Rosario against one of the remaining.



Hope that makes sense, it is a good fight, but try to see where I am coming from, DasRy



I hear what you're saying Narly, I feel the same way. I think this is going to be an awesome fight, but it's a shame one of these two are going to have to take a step back.

Here's hoping Shane's at his best. It's never easy coming off a 15 month layoff, particularly from such a devastating injury.

I've been pulling for this fight for months now. I am a happy fucking man right now. What a scrap!

Man, Del Rosario could tap the UG's favorite HW prospect :( who are we gonna have with no Stephen Thompson and no Miocic? Phone Post

Travis Browne appears to have a higher upside that both, but I also feel that Stipe and Del Rosario will be fantastic heavys for a longtime to come, and I think they are better than Struve Barry Mitrione Herman and Schaub and those guys are nice too.



Lot of terrific young heavies, what a time for that weightclass, true




I'm not sure what to make of Browne yet. He's certainly an intriguing talent, but at the moment I think Del Rosario and Miocic will be better in the long run. We'll have to wait and see, but I'm looking forward to see how it plays out.

I think some of those guys you mentioned have moved beyond the prospect stage at this point in their career, or at least Barry and Schaub have. Not to say that they can't get better, but they've both been in the ring with top talent and fought enough to be considered more than just prospects.
