    At first to the fight next week: Very hard to say. I think it will be close. Its the strongest heavyweight striker against the fastest.

    And we havent really seen one of them getting hurt by punches (except Carwin a bit vs Gonzaga). I think JDS is the better fighter, more well rounded, i think his BJJ is underrated, he is a very strong and explosive striker with big knockout power. And I think his chin is better than Carwins. If he can avoid to get hit bad by Carwin hes very likely going to win this fight. And I think he is, because of his speed, good defense and boxing skills (no equal in MMAs heavyweight). Carwins cardio is not good enough to survive the pressure of Cigano over the full 3 rounds. I cant imagine that.

    Junior dos Santos by unanimous decision or late TKO stoppage.

    Cain Velasquez is awesome, too. A really explosive power puncher with impressive wrestling skills. This guy never lost a round in MMA! He´s better (more skilled) than Carwin as well. I think JDS vs. Cain would be a 50-50 % chance for both to win. Veery close and it would be absolutely exciting to see them fight. I like JDS the most out of those three. Because I am a big boxing fan.

    My favourite fighter in the heavyweight division will always be Fedor. He´s just a nice guy. Looking at him or talking to him you would not believe he is one of the greatest fighters this brutal sport has ever seen. Fedor is a chiller in real life and a monster (at his prime) in the ring or octagon.

    Excs my english, I´m german.

    1) Carwin

    2) JDS

    3) Lesnar

    i dont like Cain at all, mostly cuz i think hes overrated. Sure hes the champ but he doesnt have a very impressive reseme. I like brock b/c im a wreslter and im obsessed with packing on muslce and hes a big guy so i envy him. I like carwin as well for the same reason and he also seems like a cool nice guy from the interviews ive seem of him. JDS just sounds like a pedophile to me lol so i naturaly dont like him

    I say santos wins by strikes. carwin has no stamina

    then Valasquez beats santos because valasquez has strikes, kicks

    and seems to be more athletic than santos.

    1. dont really like any of the three that much

    2. santos wins by strikes third round

    3.gsp, silva, jones (none heavyweights)
