so as a fight club member I get all kinds of emails from UFC. Recently they started this Back Talk thing and they had questions about UFC 87, but then they asked about heavyweights. They had us rank the fighters in order of who we enjoyed watching the most. Other than pointing out that the UFC HW division doesn't really have the level of competition that they used to, I wonder if this is how they will be determining who gets the next title shot.

The fighters in question are:
- Cheick Kongo
- Cain Velasquez
- Brock Lesnar
- Frank Mir
- Gabriel Gonzaga
- Heath Herring
- Minotauro Nogueira

And I ranked them as follows (top enjoy the most)
Nog
Lesnar
Mir
Herring
Gonzaga
Velasquez
Kongo

Now don't get me wrong I like watching Velasquez, but I ranked him below Gonzaga because I don't want to see Velasquez get pushed too quickly. I also admit that 2-4 could easily be interchanged as they are all enjoyable. The only two definite picks I had from the start were Nog as the most enjoyable and Kongo as the least. Yes the dude is a beast, but compared to everyone else I just wasn't sure.

So what are your thoughts?
