Maybe Carwin is it. Getting in a cage fight with Junior Dos Santos is probably not the doctor-recommended way to recuperate from neck surgery. I think Carwin would have a hard time closing the distance and getting this fight to the ground or up against the fence into a clinch.

Is this actually going to happen? Last i heard JDS wasn't happy about sitting on the sidelines for so long, he wants his title shot NOW!
It'd have to be Lesnar, Mir, Carwin, or Big Roy. The only problem with that is Mir is the only one coming off a win against an "old" CroCop. But who the hell else is there in the HW division that's not in Strikeforce right now? My vote goes to Carwin

I didn't actually listen to this radio show.

What a ****can for a situation, JDS has stated in the past he would never fight NOG, he is his mentor, teacher, and hero. Post fight (a while ago) he even went as far as saying he'd clean out the entire division as the #2 HW before he'd ever have the nightmare of fighting NOG, not to mention he'd eat him for breakfast on the feet......

I'd have to agree, he has no headmovement and hasn't really punched anyone with good head movement. The only way he wins is in a tight exchange, otherwise JDS is more technically sound in pretty much every aspect of fighting. Not to mention he didn't just have neck surgery.

Just read this Blog from Shane Carwin, basically it says he accepted the Roy Nelson fight (2nd time) for UFC 130 and it was a 90% go until the UFC decided Mir should fight Big Country. He says he's now fighting at UFC 131 in Vancouver in early June WITH AN OPPONENT TO BE DETERMINED, just like Iole is saying JDS's opponent is TO BE DETERMINED. Makes sense to me that JDS/Carwin is on for the interim title.........

Jds is faster and with better movement and hits really hard, but carwin has such crazy power in his hands even a glancing blow hurts people. Carwin is also much heavier and stronger.
I dont wanna see jds lose because imo hes the best challenge for cain right now but at the same time this is a winnable fight for carwin.
