Carwin and Velasquez are the only two that have a legitimate shot at beating Lesnar when he is back in the mix. Junior is Dangerous but the smart money says Lesnar will get it to the ground.

[...] Maybe that’s because I’ve already used up most of my weekly allowance of optimism on the UFC heavyweight division, and maybe it’s because I’ve been making this same argument over and over again since [...]

Good points Josh. As bad as it is to say Lesnar’s condition may have been a blessing in disguise. It has certainly given the HW division a chance to establish viable contenders (unlike say MW, WW, or LW) which some of the other divisions have not had a real chance to do as the UFC wants to throw title fights on the cards. I think despite Noguiera’s loss to Cain you could throw him in the mix as well if he comes back with an impressive win over someone. There are also less deserving match ups like a Roy Nelson who has to still work his way up and even dare I say it a Kimbo vs. Lesnar match down the line (of course from a business stand point). But right now outside of maybe LHW the HW division has the most potential in fighters deserving title shots.
