WKR's latest piece is up on MMAConvert.com. This time we delve into the need for Cain Velasquez to be tested against a top opponent in the UFC heavyweight division.
It's now time for Velasquez to be tested against a top fighter within the UFC heavyweight division. While the division suffered a drain of talent in recent years, there are still quality opponents available. Perhaps the winner, or even the loser, of the Carwin-Gonzaga bout could be his next opponent. Another possibility is Mark Coleman. Coleman's last fight was at light heavyweight and considering how fast Coleman ran out of gas the UFC should put the hall-of-famer back at his natural weight class above 205.

Velasquez vs. Gonzaga
and Carwin vs. Heath. I do think Carwin might finish Heath, where Brock didn’t, and that would provide the potential for some good dramatic buildup to a match of Shane/Brock.
Velasquez vs. Gonzaga makes all kinds of sense. It would test Cain’s striking further, and also his BJJ defense.
Makes too much sense to pass up.
There is no such thing as innocence, only degrees of guilt.
