Dos Santos has Velasquez and Overeem to contend with and either or both have the tools to get the job done.
At the moment, Jones, Silva, GSP and Aldo are without credible contenders to wrest the belts from them.

I think based on personal skills and statistics, instead of challengers within a division, Junior is actually one of the least vulnerable champs in the UFC. His TDD is 88%, only topped by Aldo and Jones among champions. His 75% takedown accuracy are only surpassed by Georges and Anderson (both at 78%). Junior also lands an average of over 6 significant strikes per minute, which is the by far the highest of all UFC champions. Junior is head and shoulders above his division and his only challengers right now are Cain and Alistair.

I also disagree that Anderson and GSP lack credible contenders. WW and MW both have dangerous guys that deserve title shots and are being overlooked.
And I think Junior KOs Cain one more time.

@mquestionable one of the best posts I've seen in a long time. You sir hit the nail on the head. JDS will KO Cain in the 2nd and I'll take it one further and say he will KO that roided up freak Overeem too.
Bottom line is if you stand with JDS you will go to sleep and if you try to take him down you'll get stuffed or he will stand right back up.
