Video: The UFC's heavyweight division is a mess

Michael Hutchinson breaks down why the Heavyweight division is crazier than ever and how the rankings make no sense.

A year ago the Heavyweight division had a clear pecking order. Cain Velasquez was the best in the world, Fabricio Werdum was the rightful next title challenger, and Junior dos Santos was the man waiting in the wings.

A year later and the division is in a state of chaos. Werdum and Velasquez both pulled out of what would've been tonight's UFC main event title fight due to injuries, Stipe Miocic is the next title challenger, while Alistair Overeem and Ben Rothwell have thrown their names into the title picture.
