    Nog maybe? I think Cro Cop can beat Nog. Good match for him stylistically. He has looked terrible against other strikers for years though now, and will likely get KO'd by Dos Santos.

    Anyway, IF Cro Cop could beat Santos and Nog, he would likely get a shot at Lesnar (and get ragdolled). Prefer to see Nog fight Lesnar. Nog is the heavy in the UFC most likely to beat Lesnar.

    Dos Santos will get killed if he fights Lesnar.

    The winner should be moved into a fight the winner of the Nog/Mir rematch to determine the true number one contender.

    Theres not gone be a Mir-Nog rematch, if there is, it will be a very long time from now. The winner will fight Nogueira. Then the winner of that will face the Champ who will most likely still be Lesnar. I think the UFC is hoping for Cro Cop to win to make the fight against Lesnar, it will do great numbers.

    I fully expect Dos Santos to KO Cro Cop. BUT if Cro Cop somehow manages to remember how to be kickboxer, it will be great to see him get the chance to avenge the most dissappointing loss of his career - I guess a lot of ppl ended up feeling like they should have beaten Nog, but that was an historically significant match. And both Nog and Cro Cop have slipped far enough for it still be competitive.

    ps I think I might be overrating Dos Santos a little here; he's stil a largely unproven commodity.

    If crocop beat dos santos then i would like to see him fight mir next. Mir-crocop should be a good fight.

    Nog has said he ready to fight in Decemeber (I think the Jan even is more likely) and is the obvious choice. If Dos Santos wins I doubt they will fight each other as they train together.

    Dos Santos wins - Gonzaga
    Cro Cop wins - Nog

    Santos needs an eliminator for the title.

    CroCop needs to rematch Congo. I can accept him losing but being out struck takes the ****.

    If Crocop pulls the type of finish he once did against Vovchanchyn...He'd probably get an instant shot at the belt.

    But if he just wins by decision or regular tko...i don't think it'll happen. He'll have to fight more opponents.

    CroCop would brutalize Mir, I'd like to see that actually.
