Arlovski is coming with a nice winning streak including 2 TOP #5. JDS comes from a sufferable win over Stipe and a loss before that with 2-2 record. Stipe is coming from a loss.
I think Arlovski is the rightful title container, if he wants too. Also can't rule out overeem if he gets another win. He seemed to e fighting smarter lately.

Arlovski vs Miocic, Dos Santos vs Rothwell. Most impressive win gets title shot. Velasquez vs Overeem for his next fight.

Arlovski. JDS has 2 shots already, and he's 1-2. I understand he beat Werdum, but it was ages ago and since then he lost 2 fights to Cain + to be honest Stipe Miocic beat the crap out of him and JDS got a gift decision. On the other hand Arlovski is not only winning but he's destroying his opponents. There is no doubt in my mind it should be AA. I'd also like to see either JDS vs Miocic rematch (and hopefuly the right guy would get the decision if it goes to a decision) or Cain vs Miocic to determine the next challenger.

First, Werdum vs Cain rematch in Vegas. If Werdum wins, then Werdum vs Dos Santos in Rio. That would be HUGE. If Cain wins, then who knows? I agree that JDS has had enough shots at Cain. Does Cain fight Werdum three times too? I don't think the fans would like that... lol

JDS, should not be next, cause if he win, Cain vs JDS 4 isnt a good fight next for cain. Cain should dethrone Werdum.

AA deserves the shot more than anyone.. Look at the resumes. JDS has had many opportunities and would deserve another one with one more fight (overeem)... miocic also needs another win before a title shot.. AA is on a 3 fight streak with wins over 2 of the top 10 heavyweights in the division... No one else can say that.. Plus he also has a win over the new champ... Although both fighters are much more evolved since then I honestly believe Arlovski is the best he has ever been and while his chin is sill suspect his power and recent run are legit

STIPE MIOCIC should get the next title shot. When are the UFC going to throw in new competition for the belt.
Junior Dos Santos got his shot multiple times, Arvloski is a great story but needs two more fights to see if this will last, Cain needs time to recoup and the UFC would benefit to throw in some new blood. This poll is illegitimate because you can not even see the amount of people polled.

Cain Velasquez should get a rematch to see if was elevation or ring rust so there are no doubts, Joe Silva said he wouldn't book heavyweight fights at high altitude I E Denver then books championship fight at a higher elevation, it's no excuse I know, they had the same advantages other than the 604 day lay off. I like both of the fighters and I just want to see them at there best.
