The UFC's weakest division, in my opinion is the heavyweight division. There just doesn't seem to be that many top contenders. Also, the heavier the division, the slower the fighters are. Fighters are slower, so the excitement of the fight is considerably less, however, the potential for knockouts, is tremendous.
Knockouts would be common at a superheavyweight division, however, they would almost always have to come in the first round. My experience with people weighing above 265 pounds is that they lack the stamina to make it into the later rounds and if a fight went past their early rounds would be pretty boring to watch.
Last but not least I think its just harder to find human beings heavier than 265 pounds, not to mention good fighters in that weight range. I would personally be much more interested to see the introduction of smaller weight classes. Perhaps a featherweight division at 125 lbs?
