#5. Chris Barnett
Chris "Huggy Bear" Barnett may have recently made his UFC debut in May of last year, but he is already making big waves in the promotion. Although his introduction to the promotion ended in defeat, his high energy and dance moves quickly made him a fan favorite after UFC 268.
The average height for the heavyweight division is 6'4". At 5'9", Barnett may be the shortest heavyweight to be on the UFC roster. The 264 lb fighter wowed the crowd in his second match when he defeated Gian Villante via a spinning wheel kick followed by brutal punches.
His next opponent, Martin Buday, is 6'5" and is currently on an 8-fight win streak since 2018. They will face off on April 16 at UFC on ESPN 34.
Barnett, 22-7, own 17 victories by KO/TKO. It is too early to say, but another dominant performance could set him on the path to becoming the shortest heavyweight champion in UFC history.
