    Lesnar's shot was because of circumstance. The heavyweight division at the time was not that great. There werent many top heavyweights in the picture. Cain beating Nog moved him up to fight for the title. The winner of Nog vs. Cain deterined who was the number one contender. JDS was fighting Nelson, Mir Got beat by Carwin, Who would you put in front of Lesnar? Like TLC said, Cain was an underdog in the nog fight. I dont even know what your argument is. Cain isnt a good striker? Is that what you are saying?

    The HW division is still terrible and will always be.

    There just isn't an influx of 6'3, 260+ athletes available.

    TLC is right. The heavyweights are always going tob popular with the masses, just as it is and always has been in boxing. But the heavyweight division as a whole pales in comparison with most other divisions in mma.

    So Cain has great striking now because he beat someone who has the WORST standup in the HW division and runs away when he gets hit? C'mon man. I said ok before and still believe it.

    I never said great. The man doesnt have to beat great people to prove he has good striking. you can use your eyes and see his techique is above average in MMA. And as i stated before his striking, which inlcudes GNP striking is dangerous.

    "Z" was right from the beginning, Brock has the worst striking in the division. his GnP's decent because he can utilise his wrestling with it.
