Yeah, but from the UFC's standpoint there really wasn't anyone better to put in there. They could have done a rematch with Velasquez I guess, but he did just get KO'ed by JDS in like a minute.

yeah there really wasnt anyone.... i mean hendo said he would have taken it but i didnt see that happening... and mark hunt was like the only other available person and he in a way is due for a shot at something being the ultimate journeyman but that wouldnt sell PPV...MIR is a big enough name and has racked up enough wins to deserve another go..... i do a agree that a part of me thinks cain would be a better match up... that fight was a bit of a fluke.. i mean im not saying cain would have won but he had nerves and then an injury where he couldnt shoot and then JDS hit him with that shot to unbalance him so fast it was just like a perfect storm of bad things that led to such a dissapointing fight... but he should make quick work of bigfoot and be back on his way up

Agreed. I still think JDS would have won that fight, but Cain got caught early. He'll get a rematch, most likely after he beats Bigfoot. If Overeem somehow is able to fight outside of Vegas they might put him against Velasquez for #1 contender fight. Otherwise I see a JDS vs Cain Velasquez rematch after UFC 146.
