The UFC heavyweight title scene

These are the only upcoming heavyweight matches booked:

-Brendan Schaub vs. Lavar Johnson (UFC 157)
-Stefan Struve vs. Mark Hunt (UFC on FUEL 8)
-Daniel Cormier vs. Frank Mir (UFC on FOX 7)
-Fabricio Werdum vs. Antonio Nogueira (UFC Brazil)

Looking at that, the one thing that pops into my head is the UFC reallllly were counting on Overeem to win.

So who is next? Believe it or not, the guys outside of Cormier (who says he won't fight Cain anyway) with the best win streaks going are Struve and Hunt. Of course, we know the UFC doesn't care about records when it comes to title fights. ;-)

maybe this is why jones said he might try out HW by the end of this year or early next.

Roy Nelson vs. Chieck Kongo too

Has Cormier actually said he will not fight Cain? He seems to be ducking the question from everything I have seen. If Cormier will not do it, then perhaps Werdum or maybe Barnett if he signs.

Awesome

Rally for Mark Hunt v.2.0?

Werdum is the obvious choice if (when) he gets past Big Nog.

Hunt would be fun, maybe they'll give him the shot if he KO's Struve.

They should give it to winner of Struve Hunt. Phone Post

Werdum and Hunt

Alternativ Universe, bring in FEDOR

It's going to be the Hunt vs Struve winner, then Werdum if he beats Nog. Just bases on the timing of everything. Phone Post

If Faber can make 206, he deserves it.

Otherwise Sonnen should make the move.

Cormier should be next in line for a title shot. He is clearly top 3 in the world, and JDS just lost, so...Dana wants to give him a shot at the light heavyweight belt with one more win over a top ten heavyweight.

Makes sense.

winner of struve/hunt vs. Bigfoot for #1 contender. if werdum beats big nog have him fight cain for the belt first. and jds vs. reem obviously is the fight to make for those 2 Phone Post

cormier isnt in the picture while cain is champ Phone Post
