Velazquez could get Brock Lesnar after big win

Cain Velazquez dismantled Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira last night at UFC 110 in one round. He showed he may be the best guy out there to challenge Brock Lesnar. Of course, there are two other guys who may have a shot as well. Frank Mir and Shane Carwin are fighting next month to decide the official contender for the title. Mir has been just as dominant as Velazquez as of late but already has a loss to Lesnar. If Mir dominates Carwin it will be a tough call as to whether Velazquez gets the shot right away or if Mir gets the shot and Cain faces off against the winner. There is also Junior Dos Sontos looming and he could get either Mir or Cain as well. Although still not quite as strong as Strikeforce's heavyweight division the UFC seems to be getting more competitive especially with the younger fighters.

In other action, Wanderlei Silva and Mirko Filipovic won fights last night keeping their careers alive. Silva is now at middleweight and makes that division more interesting while Filipovic probably needs another big win before he can be considered ready to get back in there with the big boys.
