Re: what Heavyweight has the most Potential to be a Champion
i was torn between cormier & del rosario but im going with cormier, his wrestling is TOP NOTCH and his striking keeps getting better and better. i hope the ufc gives him a step up in competition to see what he really has.i think he has all the tools to beat any1 if he keeps improving

Re: what Heavyweight has the most Potential to be a Champion
Cormier is great and all. He has superb wrestling and his striking has gotten better. Lets keep in mind he is 32 and that hte UFC is full of big wrestling heavyweights who would be very prepared for his takedowns.
I'm choosing Rosario. He is 5 years younger than Cormier and has displayed submission skills to complement his killer stand up. Big things from him in the future.
I hope Cormier and Rosario square off at the next Heavyweight Tourney Strikeforce event so we can see for sure who will be better. Definitely going to be an interesting and exciting fight.

Re: what Heavyweight has the most Potential to be a Champion
considering the age, but because of his strong wrestling based I gotta go with DC
Schuab has potential and so does Del Rosario....the others dont have a shot...Mitrione wont be champ too old and no wrestling base

Re: what Heavyweight has the most Potential to be a Champion
If you asked me two years ago, I'd clearly say Shane. But when's the last time he fought?
Cormier isn't a prospect anymore and that's because he stayed active. He is my pick.
