Since the rise of Cain/Junior into title contention & becoming champs, the bona fide quality of having 6-7 straight wins in a row in the UFC HW div has all but disappeared.
I doubt we will ever see this kind of quality in contenders in the HW div for a looong time & so the UFC have to be extremely careful in how they build up their potential contenders in this div.
As far as I'm aware, the only HW on a 3 fight win streak so far is Soa Palelei (originally listed Ovince St. Preux before realising he was a LHW, so it must be true that there is only 1 HW on a 3 fight win streak?)
On top of that, no top 10 HW's are on a decent win streak (apart from Werdum of course)
I feel as though Palelei may fight the winner of Schaub/Arlovski or Miocic/Maldonado, with the winner extending their streak to 3-4 until fighting at least one top 10 opponent before getting a title shot, extending their streak to 4-5 in a row & finally we may be seeing a legit HW contender.
What is the possibility of this outcome?
Who wants to bet that whoever's on a 4 fight win streak will absolutely blow it against their first top 10 opponent?
Opinions/Thoughts ?
