UFC 131 Results: Power Ranking the Top 5 Heavyweights In UFC
Bleacher Report’s Adam Wells
With UFC 131 in the history books, the future of the heavyweight division became a little more clear with Junior dos Santos retaining his spot as the No. 1 contender for Cain Velasquez’ championship.
Dos Santos’ three-round destruction of Shane Carwin moved his record to 13-1, 7-0 in UFC. The win over Carwin was by far the biggest of his career, and now he has to take on the top heavyweight in all of mixed martial arts.
Carwin, meanwhile, has lost two consecutive fights and hasn’t looked good since the last minute of the first-round of his fight with Brock Lesnar. With his lackluster performance against dos Santos, he has a long climb back up the ladder in the heavyweight division.
So which fighters are the best of the best in the UFC heavyweight division? Here are the top 5 heavyweights following last night’s event.
