The New Breed to Challenge Brock Lesnar

With Frank Mir out of the way for now, it looks like the new breed of UFC heavyweight have finally stepped up to challenge for the title. Junior Dos Santos, Shane Carwin and Cain Velasquez have all had phenomenal results lately and look poised to challenge for Brock Lesnar's title. Each of them seem technically superior to Lesnar but ultimately it is Brock's power that will determine how far they can go against him. Carwin has the size and technical ability to compete with Brock. He's also a smart fighter who seems to apply strategy effectively. Lesnar is a great athlete but not yet a great MMA fighter. All of these challengers will have a legitimate shot at dethroning Brock. Remember, Lesnar himself is probably more of a neophyte in the sport than any of these guys.
