Welcome to the UFC, Dmitry Sosnovskiy

A 26-year-old heavyweight is on his way to the UFC as the promotion continues to grow their big-man division.

The UFC’s dedication to building a real heavyweight division seems to be continuing in force. There was a time when getting new talent over 205-lbs was more of a pipe dream than anything. Now, with the division cresting over 40 fighters and half of them having fewer than three fights, we’re in the middle of a big, beefy renaissance. The latest addition to this re-birth of the big dude is Dmitriy Sosnovskiy. His signing was announced by Russian-MMA writer Alexey Safonov on Twitter.
