With Brock Lesnar (5-2) having pulled out of his planned June 11 bout with Junior dos Santos (12-1), some interesting divisional shifts await us. We’ve obviously learned that a replacement is already on tap in the form of Shane Carwin: Good enough, for the time being.
However, with one of the division’s elite out of the picture indefinitely, what becomes of the overall heavyweight landscape?
Diverticulitis is no joke, and it’s already nearly ended the former champion’s career once. Can Lesnar overcome such an obstacle yet again? Only time will tell.
However, with Lesnar on the sidelines, it’s time to reevaluate things; what better way than to highlight the five most dangerous big men under UFC contract (behind champion Cain Velasquez, of course).
