doesnt seem like there are any legit contenders who deserve a shot at the title....
the only legit HW that the UFC could get at this point is REEM....blaf make it happen...2 birds with one stone: legit UFC contender + ruin Strikeforce tourney
Herring In A Fur Coat - Carwin or Lesnar are the only options.
both are coming off losses...how the hell do you get a title shot when you were just finished in your last fight?
got to be Carwin, only fight that makes ANY kind of sense, former interim champ, 12-1, only loss coming to defending champ...
Herring In A Fur Coat -goku -Herring In A Fur Coat - Carwin or Lesnar are the only options.

Ask Justin Eilers. Well, that's technically not possible, but you know what I mean.
that was a long time ago..i think the ufc has reached the point where they need some legitimacy for their belts...either get a legitimate contender or dont call it a title fight
Its not the real title anyway so coming off losses isn't as important.
Carwin can't fight till June, right? And Cain will be back August or so, so why bother with an interim?
It will be Carwin.
I feel it.
Wouldn't it have to be a top ten UFC fighter (preferably top 5) whose last fight was a win? Seems like Cain and Dos Santos are the only top 5'ers in UFC with a recent win. Other than... Mir?? What other top ten guys won their last fight?
All signs point to Carwin. They just moved his fight with Nelson to the earlier event, and he doesn't have an official opponent.
McCorkle!! 
Tim Sylvia, please come back! The UFC needs you now more than ever!
Throw JDS in the Strikeforce HW GP and lets see him replace any fighter from the weaker side of the bracket!
Al Turk is ready IMO...
Herring In A Fur Coat -goku -It may have been a long time ago, but the root cause is the same. Who do you suggest JDS should fight?Herring In A Fur Coat -goku -Herring In A Fur Coat - Carwin or Lesnar are the only options.

someone from the strikeforce tourney...unless dana is...chicken
What a mess.
Brock and carwin coming off a loss. Can't see that happening, although I think carwin in most deserving. Mir would be my guess
I would say winner of Mir Vs Nelson ...makes most sense to me
come on mittrione we need ya here
surely McCorkles time to step up.
