According to the veteran, the UFC heavyweight division is experiencing a notable decline.
“Unfortunately, it is no longer a secret to anyone – the heavyweight division is indeed in decline. The best remain at the top, but the spectacle and variety are no longer the same. There used to be plenty of stars, and now they have noticeably diminished. Almost no one from Japan... It’s like the tides of the ocean: sometimes the division is overflowing with talent, sometimes it almost empties out. Markets bloom and quiet down,” Overeem stated in an interview with Bloody Elbow.
