why can't we see cain versus dos santos then the winner gets brock? this makes more sense to me.
why eliminate a top contender?
Name Lesnars next 3 fights if that happens.
LoiseauElbow - Name Lesnars next 3 fights if that happens.
The beauty of a division is that you're not supposed to know who's fighting for the title 3 people back
forrestfan - why eliminate a top contender?

Because the winner will be a serious threat to the belt. Obviously it doesn't make sense anymore, but 6 months ago this fight probably should have been signed
tdunning -they are both serious threats at this point...all you would be doing is cannibalizing your product...you dont want to get into a gsp situation where you are recycling contenders...forrestfan - why eliminate a top contender?

You also don't want to get to a Silva situation where the guys going into title fights aren't demonstrated contenders
This fight should've already happened to determine who would fight the Carwin/Lesnar winner rather than putting Cain in hibernation, but at this point would be completely stupid and I'm surprised anyone would think it was a good idea.

Who are you referring to? Cain with his 5 fight UFC win streak, or JDS who will have won 6 in a row in the UFC when he beats Roy.
They've demonstrated more to earn title shots than Brock did.

Except Roy will beat JDS. Will be interesting to see if Zuffa gives Nelson his deserved title shot.
You know who else had 5 fight win streaks going into a title fight? Thales Leites and Patrick Cote
