Awesome fight that I hope happens!

Schaub? Nelson? Yvel?

everyone else is injured, in a title fight, retired, or just not ready for either Cain or Mir

Only fight that makes sense for both of them right now.

Cain should take this if it goes down. Although...gettin KO'd like that has changed the mindset and killer instinct of better and more seasoned fighters. I hope Cain still has that confidence and edge. If not...Mir get another top flight W and, most likely, a title shot.

We will get to see Cain's BJJ def in this one.
Great fight though, can't wait

This fight makes the most sense IMO given the availible parties. I was thinking about maybe Cain/Carwin, but Shane is coming off such a long layoff that I don't know if throwing him in against the former main event is the best thing, so Cain/Mir is the much more ranking-relevant bout.
Now, Bigfoot/Carwin would be a very cool bout to see as well, as both are a little lower in the rankings and are both mastodons.
Would've preferred Cain/Fedor....but ya know.

Does the winner get first crack at Dos Santos/Overeem winner? You would think they would have to.
