    #1 Lesnar, holds the freaking title, man handled an experienced Heath Herring and grazed Randy Couture and put him down. I think vs any of the other 3 guys his wrestling + his size wins the fight. I think Mir could beat him, but I don't think it'll happen.

    #2 Carwin, proved a lot by taking a big shot from Gonzaga and the promptly ending Gonzaga's night

    #3 tie Dos Santos/Velasquez. Cain just got his high profile win, but showed he needs a lot more work on the standup. Dos Santos has not faced a big named HW yet (well Werdum, but that was a fat and uninspired Werdum) and has not shown how he'll do vs the top shelf wrestlers at HW. All 3 of the other guys may be able to put him on his back and make him eat hammer fists and Elbows.. we just don't know enough yet.
