    UFC HW division is basically CV and JDS and the rest are pretty meh. But you all have to admit that the SF torney would be vastly improved if Cain and JDS were in it instead of say Arlovski and Rogers.

    Then the winner really would be the no1 HW on the planet no arguments.

    ABSOLUTELY. But that's just fantasy.. Dana would NEVER allow it. So its not really worth discussing.

    Oh I know that blud. I'm just using a hypothetical to illustrate that the UFC HW division hasn't got nothing going for it. Anyway I may be way off the mark here but CV seems like his own man. I can imagine him leaving the UFC to fight the winner of teh SF tourney. Just basing that assumption on the fact that he seems to genuinly like a challenge and isn't the typical UFC flashy, media spotlight hungry fighter.

    Dos Santos is 4/5 with most bookies here to beat Lesnar. Free money.

    It's not rally that he has no punch resistence, he's never actually been KO'd. He just panics, covers up and verbally taps. He may have a good chin we just don't know as he turtles up like a ginger stepchild being beaten by his 'uncle'. He is ****ing clueless when under fire. I bet he still doesn't spar and instead will just be concentraing on takedowns and hammer fists. He strikes me as the typical bully that will only operate within his comfort zone so he can always feel like Mr Alpha Male in the gym.

    I agree that the idea of the tournament is a great thing and very good for MMA but don't agree with your dismissive statements on the UFC heavyweights. The same could easily be said of the Strikeforce heavyweights - especially Fedor who has avoided top competition in the past five years making the twilight of his own career irrelevant. So answer me this - if everyone in Strikeforce beats Fedor one at a time does that make them all top five fighters?
