heavyweight division
The heavyweight division in mixed martial arts (MMA) generally groups fighters between 205 and 265 lb (93 and 120 kg). Although many ambiguities exist within the lower weight classes regarding division naming and weight limits, the Heavyweight division is, for the most part, uniform.
Top 10 Heavyweight Contenders. 1  Deontay Wilder â Wilder jumped to the number 1 contender position following his step up win against Bermane Stiverne. 2  While it cost him his all-KO streak, proving he could win a fight over the 12-round distance after never going past 4 rounds was an even bigger statement.
1 Andy Ruiz â Sure, he might not look it with guys like Wladimir Klitschko or Anthony Joshua standing next to him, but Andy Ruiz is emerging as a contender in the division. 2  Stopped the previously unbeaten Joe Hanks, and has taken care of a few more fringe types since.
