Looking at the hw division who would be a good match up for Junior? I think DC is a great option. Other fighters possibly are Josh Barnett, loser of Overeem/Silva, Kongo. Thoughts?

JDS VS months of recovery after an internationally embarassing whooping. Most lopsided HW fight since...oh, yeah, ever.

Junior just suffered the most complete, comprehensive, dramatic, humiliating and devastating demolition of a title holder since Shogun vs. Jones and Franklin vs. Silva.
Rematches should never be automatic. The world must see change before they would be interested in seeing Junior fight Cain again.
Junior must improve his striking defense, his cardio, expand his roundedness. Do I think Junior Dos Santos is capable of improving his fighting? Yes. Will it be easy for him to do? No. Does he have to do it before he deserves another chance to fight for the title? Of course.

After that, he should fight Cormier. DC is a smaller more raw version of Velasquez who trains with him. If JDS can beat him, it shows he may be able to hang with Cain, if he can't, well he has no business rematching anyway.

All I've heard about him is that he is the most technical boxer in the division. If he is so technical, how come he couldn't block the punches coming in? Where was his head movement? His footwork? There are so many things he could have done against Cain that he did not do or attempt.
Before I want to see a rematch, I need to see some evolution in his all-around game. Why didn't he kick? Or check kicks?

Barnett if he wins his last Strikeforce fight would be cool.
I wouldn't give him Cormier because Cormier won't fight Cain if he wins.
Travis Browne is on the brink of the top ten and also coming off a loss. He would be a good match.
Mark Hunt if he beats Struve would be cool, but not Struve, even if he beats Hunt.
Kongo doesn't have a fight booked. He's always getting booked in these types of fights anyway. So he's a good possibility.
Then there's Rothwell if he beats Gonzaga....Russow if he beats Jordan...Todd Duffee...The winner of Schaub vs Johnson...Pat Barry....
Any of those would fit the bill.
