So why to this day hasn't the UFC created a super heavyweight division? Maybe because Brock Lesnar has just recently arrived and man-handled all his opponents. Not to take anything away from the UFC Heavyweight champ he an excellent fighter but unfortunately people, size does matter in a fight and it is apparent with Lesnar's fights.

With the over abundance of football and wrestling stars making debuts in MMA, its only a matter of time before the super heavyweight division will be born and at this point you can look forward to seeing more use of skill instead of brute force.
