I hope they put someone else in there instead of just postponing it. Dos Santos vs Carwin... Nog vs Carwin..
sucks but what are the options then ?Nog vs Carwin ?I doubt we'll have dos santos vs nog because both are sparring partners.Cain Velasquez vs Carwin maybe ?
Well, based on "name value," there aren't many people you can put against Carwin and call it a mainevent. Cain and Carwin would be a damn good fight, but the UFC can't sell a PPV to the casual fans on it. Sadly, Couture vs. Carwin would get more buzz (despite being far less important to the heavyweight landscape, and despite Couture's apparent move to 205). Also, I'm under the belief that the UFC kept Cain and Carwin away from each other so that they can throw them both against Lesnar, one after the other. Besides those two and Dos Santos, they don't have many hot prospects that they can turn into contenders. The division is rankled with gatekeepers and has-beens.
I disagree. 3 huge prospects in Carwin, Cain and JDS. Matched by legendary vets in Nog and Mir. Brock is on top. If Mir beats Kongo then he can begin to place himself for the trilogy against Brock. Nog deserves the Brock fight. Carwin, Cain and JDS can all be built towards the Brock fight. Which other divisions has 3 huge undefeated prospects on the path towards the title?
Looks like its going to be rescheduled for UFC 108, Jan 2nd. http://www.fightersonlymagazine.co.uk/news/viewarticle.php?id=3306
