Cain Velasquez

Heavyweight

9-0 : Cain Velasquez: The UFC's new Heavyweight king has looked amazing since making the jump to the UFC. He's dominated everyone who has stepped into the cage with him and he's only getting better. Whether it's grinding out a decision or punishing a fighter in the fight until the ref stops it, Cain has the ability to do what he pleases inside the octagon. With wins over Lesnar, Nogueira, Rothwell, and Kongo in his last four, we've seen very few flaws in this AKA fighter. He was slated to face off against rising HW star Junior Dos Santos, but a shoulder injury has put Velasquez on the shelf for the time being and also forced him out of his bout with Dos Santos. He'll now sit by and recover as he watches Brock Lesnar & Junior Dos Santos coach on The Ultimate Fighter and then fight for the right to face him. (Bret Orwig)
