Valasquez vs. Dos Santos
The dream match up in the UFC Heavyweight division is right around the corner, just over a month away. So what do you guys think? I believe Cain will be too much and take the fight, but I have to say it is impossible for me to be unbiased when talking about a Valasquez fight. For one I went to Arizona State, just like Cain. And two, I actually grew up in the same county, Yuma, in Arizona that he grew up in. I told everyone he was going to kill Lesnar. The only thing that makes me think twice is his long lay off.

If it's a stand up fight, I have Dos Santos.  If Cain uses his wrestling, then I think he wins.

It should definitely be a great fight but I give the edge to Cain. If he can top Dos Santos and look impressive in the process, he could dominate the division for a while.

If he wins the Strikeforce Heavyweight Grand Prix, then I'd like to see Josh Barnett in the UFC.  Dana White has said that he will not bring Barnett over, but I don't know how he would be able to pass that easily.  If Barnett wins the GP, he has a lot of momentum going his way, and he's also a fighter that's easy to sell to the fans.  I also think it's a good challenge for Cain.  Barnett has all the tools to at least give Cain a tough fight.  Even if Cain were to win, it could even create a multi fight series between the two (if the first fight is close).  I think it's a risk worth taking for the UFC.

Why doesn't Dana White want Barnett?

Because of Barnett being busted for PED's more than once.  The last time with Affliction, not only killed the organization, but the fight between he & Fedor too.
