Mark Hunt is getting a shot at JDS after KO'ing Struve. I'm saying there are not alot of legit HW's in the UFC. Nelson has 6 wins in the octagon all by KO/TKO and has only lost decisions, all to former champs, and other than Cain, he is the only person to take JDS the distance.
HEAVYWEIGHT Champion : Cain Velasquez 1 Junior dos Santos 2 Daniel Cormier 3 Fabricio Werdum 4 Antonio Silva 5 Alistair Overeem 6 Roy Nelson 7 Frank Mir 8 Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira 9 Mark Hunt 10 Travis Browne Cain/Bigfoot, Werdum/Big Nog, JDS/Hunt, are all already happening and Mir is done.. DC will be dropping down unless they give him Overeem, when he comes back.. The only fight left for him is Browne, which would be a good fight and I guess could propel either into the upper echelon, but I think Roy is ready now.. They could match him up with Overeem upon his return, which could also work IMO.. The options are very limited at HW.. |

p.s. these ranking are from 4/22 also, so it wouldn't surprise me if Nelson jumps Overeem in the rankings after last night..

With Jones looking like he'll be out for an extended time, I'm guessing we'll have Gus/Machida for the number one contender spot..

Chael needs to go into commentary. If the UFC doesn't put him in the booth it would be a shame. I'm not talking about the version of Sonnen we see before fights, I'm talking about the version of Sonnen we saw on TUF.
Jones is a beast. It's amazing getting to watch guys like Jones, Silva and GSP. These are the greats we'll be talking about 20 years from now. |

I wonder if the UFC will do anything to change the gloves?

indeed
As far as the LW's go, I'd say lets see Healy get a rematch with Thompson.. Or him vs Melendez.. As far as Miller, it's really hard to say.. Maybe rematch him with Lauzon (amazing fight) or match him up with a striker like Cowboy, cause it seems subs have been Jim's downfall as of late.. |

Watch the first Kevin Burns/Rumble Johnson fight.. Burns uses open handed left hand strikes and literally poked Rumble in the eye three times before they stopped it.. Should have had a point deducted for the second.. I know it will happen specially when guys are trying to push off or stuff a shot but I don't think the gloves should be changed, I thinks it's the officiating.. On that topic, Kevin Mullhol should never be allowed anywhere near an mma event again.. Horrible job by him all night, first with the early stoppage, then with Belcher's ankle wraps.. As Rogan said, it makes you appreciate guys like Big John and Dean.. |

That'd be a huge step down for DC.. He should fight Reem or drop down to lhw..

I don't see how that would be a huge step down at all. Those rankings are a stupid measure to go by and Dana has said he won't even follow them. The UFC match making has always put winners against winners and losers against losers. Nelson is closer to a title shot than Overeem, plus, I'm pretty sure Big Foot Silva was a huge step down for Overeem according to those rankings and look where that got him.
I think it would be a lot more competitive than Overeem who we know lacks a chin and would probably roll over and die if pressured by Cormier's wrestling. |

Orrrr... Cormier could drop down to LHW. With Jones out for awhile, would Cormier/Machida for the #1 contender spot be a fair move?

The reffing, buffer fucking up, the injuries, etc.. The only way it would have been weirder, was if Sonnen had made it out of the 1st and they had awarded him the win do to Jones' toe.. |

Belcher is a prick man, froze yet again in a big fight. Guy is so good but only shows it against the jobbers.
This event just pissed me off. Glad Nelson won but ugh at everything else. |

Don't think so..
Sonnen would have won the fight via "no contest, doctor's stoppage" but shouldn't have gotten the strap.. The only injury like this in a title fight I can remember was Patrick Cote tearing his ACL against Silva but he was the challenger, not the champ.. |

Belchar got wrestlefucked by Okami, what other big fights has he froze up in?? His last "real" loss was over 5 years ago.. I know he "lost" to Sexyama but anyone who actually watched that fight would disagree.. |

I think it would have depended on the cause of the injury. If it was due to a hole in the canvas like Jones said, I think it would be a no contest, but if it was incurred as a result of the action and Jones wasn't able to continue, I think Sonnen would have gotten the W. |

Sonnen would have gotten the win, not the title..
The "hole" in the canvas fractured the toe, then a freakish accident cause it to pop off.. |

If the accidental injury was discovered in round 4 and the fight was stopped, it would have gone to a judge's decision so the title would have been up for grabs. Last edited by Next Big Thing; 04-28-2013 at 01:22 PM. |

Roy Nelson is Dana White's "Stone Cold" Steve Austin in that he looks nothing like a UFC Champion. I'd love to see him win the belt, and come out to the Octagon for defenses drinking beer and eating buckets of chicken. Also, never shave that beard.

Phil Davis striking looked dece, hes beat Gustafsson and only lost to Rashad, wonder why he isn't being put up there with the top 10 guys.
Mchida/Gus sounds like a horrible styles clash btw |
