TUF 8 question

Please tell me (i hope Dana White can think this time) that they will have HW division there?

I just read 205-punds at sherdog.com news, but i guess they mean + 205-lbs?

What do you say? UFC need new HW fighters right now.

Unfortunately, I've only heard 205 and 155 so far. Sorry.

I hate to tell any organization how to run it's own business, but I must admit that Heavyweights are definitely more intriguing than light heavies. Let's face it; even if the LHW division does thin, the list of contenders will be long. Although the perpetual TUF "Belt Tie Off" Rodeo is almost over, Rampage won't go back to more than 3 defenses a year. It's going to take a while to beat Griffin, Wanderlei, Jardine, Chuck, Shogun, possibly Alves and let's not forget his penultimate and upcoming test; MACHIDAAAA...

Plus the HW Division is starving, with Fabricio Werdum, Brandon Vera and Mir as nearest things to possible contenders that they can offer. A TUF season will do the division good, everyone knows that. I think I know what Dana's plan is. Although I can't believe I'm going to say it, it doesn't matter if this season is about HWs or LHWs.

Brock Lesnar is going to own the heavyweight division someday. Mark my words.

They're doing LWs and LHWs this season they can't find enough talent to do a HW one.

i heard that dana said he'd never do another season of HW after season 2. something about the fact that almost all athletic big men end up playing football or basketball or something.

The best HW they found in season 2 were all LHW anyway. Except gogoplata Imes and he's not even with the UFC.
