10 Heaviest Hitters In The UFC Heavyweight Division Today
10. Todd Duffee
Todd Duffee might be higher up this list were it not for one simple problem: he has, for years, struggled with health issues.
A promising young prospect back in 2009, he was cut from the promotion after just two fights after posting a 1-1 record. While the reason for his release was never made public, rumors swirled that the rookie had something of an attitude problem.
After losing to Alistair Overeem in Japan then beating Neil Grove, he was brought back, going 2-1 in his return. Duffee boasts a modest 9-3 record, but all nine of those fights have been finishes, all via KO/TKO. That includes a 7 second KO of the late Tim Hague in Duffee's first UFC run, and a 33 second KO of Anthony Hamilton in his second.
Duffee was showing great promise in his UFC career once again, but struggles with Parsonage–Turner syndrome appear to have put his it on hold, at least for the time being.
With those heavy hands and an overall UFC record of 3-2, Duffee should be at the height of his professional fighting career. With luck, he can overcome the health hurdles and get back to doing what he does best: putting people to sleep!
