Penn of course. KenFlo got it. Then he'll lose that before anyone else loses theirs. I think Penn is back to not being focused,spent months complaining about GSP,GSP and KenFlo have both insulted him recently wich he didn't seem to take well and he does not have the samurai spirit on his side.

Machida...right now the only one near a title shot I think that can possibly have a chance against him is Jardine. You'll need something different to be able to beat Machida,I think Jon Jones has that but it'll probably be a while before he gets a shot. Jardine throws some awkward stuff so I'll give him a chance at a win but I don't think it's enough. So he'll probably be holding it untill about 2011.

Brock...could get caught with a Cro Cop head kick I guess but other than that I don't see it happening. Cro Cop is probably a long,long way from a title shot. Even then he'd have to actually get that kick in.

Silva...well I thought maybe Bisping would get him but that's not happening and he's already dispensed of Hendo. Cote was holding his own but I don't recall that he was actually winning rounds. Doubt Vitor can do it either. If I had to pick someone to beat him,I'd say it'd be Maia because he's been caught before and he'd be 2nd to lose.

GSP...on paper it'd seem Sherk would have the best chance but he's already been beaten and he was probably still on the steroids then too.

Is this a joke post? Sherk isn't in GSPs weight class. Cro Cop being mentioned in the same breathe as Brock right now is crazy and Jon Jones having what it takes to beat Machida? Jon Jones didn't even look that good against O'Brien.

I think brock can be taken out by a skilled striker, he isnt invincible. Mir had him rocked with that flying knee and if he hadnt tried for the armbar when he fell he may have gotten up to finish him

But what skilled striker is there that won't get taken down at will by Lesnar?

Carwin's maybe the closest, but he's not really a skilled striker. But he's got power and he's got a chance to resist some takedowns, so he's got a shot to catch Lesnar. I just don't think it's likely.
