Reem knocked out Brock who was coming off serious illness and who had just recieved serious beatdowns, and been exposed for his standup in his previous two fights. This is literally his only claim to being a top 5 heavyweight. He then came off of a year long layoff, getting popped for steroids...

Bigfoot has gone 2-2 in his last four fights, being knocked out twice, one of those includes getting carved up by Cain. While JDS went undefeated for years, knocking out almost all of his opponents including the champ, who he now holds a 1-1 record with.

You can disagree with who gets the next shot, but having JDS over BF is not ridiculous.

At this point in time it is. JDS just lost to Cain while Bigfoot has won two fights in the meantime.

The bit about Overeem is accurate except you forgot his win over Werdum. Sure it was dreadful but Werdum was top 5 at the time and Overeem did get his hand raised so its a legit win for him and subsequently a big win for Bigfoot.

Would you prefer we shelf Cain until after the summer? Fuck it. Give Bigfoot another shot. He's got a lot of momentum behind him to sell a fight.
