Francis Ngannou is the current UFC Heavyweight champion. He wants a new contract that rewards him with millions to fight. Ngansou wants to be able to compete in boxing. Jon Jones is a heavy favorite to win the title in 2023.

Jon Jones is the greatest light heavyweight of all time. He won the title at 205 pounds and has been fighting at a different weight class since 2013. Jones has not fought since February 2020. His last fight was a controversial unanimous decision win over Dominick Reyes. The 35-year-old has had personal issues and was removed from JacksonWink MMA.

Cyril Gane is +300 to become an undisputed champion in 2023. Francis Ngannou is the favourite to be the next champion. Gneans striking is unique and his takedown defense is not as good as it was against Ngansnous.

Serghei Pavlovich has been devastating since his UFC debut against Alistair Overeem in 2018. He has the next-level freakish power but needs to have more personality.

Stipe Miocic is a heavy favorite to fight Jones. If Ngannou vs. Jones can't be arranged, MiOCic vs Jones is the backup choice. Miocaic hasn't fought since a March 2021 knockout loss to Nghnous.

Curtis Blaydes has been a divisional dark horse for years. He has all the talent to be a champion but the timing for him to become champion is more likely for early 2024.

Tom Aspinall is coming back from a torn ACL in 2023. He will need to make up for the time he lost before getting a title shot.

Tai Tuivasa lost to Gane and Pavlovich. He needs to win three fights in a row to get a title shot. He couldn't get it after five straight knockouts.

Alexander Volkov is a good player but he's losing to the new blood. He's fun to watch but there's no personality to go along with him.

Jailton Almeida is one of the best-untapped talents in the UFC Heavyweight division. His most significant issue in recent months has been keeping his fights intact. AlMeida's rise will hinge on matchups and activity.

Jairzinho Rozenstruik is a notch below Volkov in the list of UFC Heavyweight contenders.

Serghei Spivac is a sleeper at +7500. He's not likely to get a title shot this year. He could have been a big-fight possibility in 2023 if he had defeated Lewis as expected at the end of 2022.

Alexandr Romanov was beaten by Marcin Tybura in 2022. Romanova has a unique slam-and-toss-you-around style.

Derrick Lewis is a long shot for the UFC Heavyweight title.

Francis Ngannou and Jon Jones are the favourites for the UFC Heavyweight Title in 2023. Gane is the safest choice at +300. Pavlovich is a fun risk to play with.   in the perfect world, Ngahenou vs. Jones would be followed by a fight with Ganes.
