UFC 188 brought a strange sort of clarity to the grand scheme of the heavyweight division.
Showcasing two of the finest heavyweights competing today—Fabricio Werdum and Cain Velasquez—the UFC's latest event proved the more things change, the more things stay the same in the big boys' division.
Prior to his latest fight in Mexico City, many fans and critics felt Velasquez could be the greatest heavyweight of all time. The past king, Russian MMA legend Fedor Emelianenko, rode a 28-fight undefeated streak from April 2001 to November 2009, but he lost three in a row from June 2010 to July 2011, putting his status as the greatest of all time (GOAT) in jeopardy.
