A lot of people thinking Carwin is being sour over his loss and not happy with him saying Cain is gonna win. I think it's the opposite, Carwin should want Brock to win because it makes him look that much better (he ALMOST beat the guy who beat Cain), where if Cain wins, it bumps Carwin down that much further.

You're thinking too much into it. Carwin lost his title bout so he tumbles down to 4th below Cain and JDS. Nelson is a perfect fit for who he should face next. But neither outcome will affect anything for Carwin, other than a different target in his crosshair's to work his way to fighting.

The truth of it is, right now the HW division is stacked. On any given fight the belt can change hands.

Cain, Brock, Carwin and JDS can all beat each other. There is no matchup that can be made with these 4, that we can say "thats an easy fight".

All 4 will prob touch the strap at one point in thier careers.
I don't think Carwin can beat Cain, Lesnar, or JDS. He's got big power and no real technique or cardio to speak of. If he were younger then I might be inclined to think he could fix his issues. I do enjoy his fights, though, and I can see him recording some more highlight reel KOs along the way.

I do think Cain & JDS will become champions. Of these three (Brock, Cain, Junior) I believe Dos Santos has the best chance of holding the belt the longest. He has the striking, the size, the takedown defense, scramble, and power. I can't wait to see him tested on the ground so it's up to Brock or Cain to get him there so we can see what he's made of.
