I think it's Noguiera right now. He and Cro Cop will fight provided Cro Cop beats Kongo. That will clearly determine the #1 contender.

AA is not #1 because he lost to the previous champion twice in a row. He still has to win a few more quality fights first IMO.

If Fedor comes over, he should be the logical choice. Otherwise it's really difficult to say. If it's the winner of a potential CroCop/Nog fight, then Couture will have a long layoff.

Arlovski wont be getting a title shot until he scores some exciting KO's again. His last fight was a snooze fest, his KO win before that was "ehhh". Nobody wants another Sylvia champ...boring 5 round slap boxing.

Speaking of the former champ- not for nothing, but he should be entitled to a rematch. Yes, he sucks (or sucks as of late)...but the guy defended enough times and was a two time title holder. But, his fights have sucked and fans hate him so that might keep him out of the picture.

Cro Cop? The fight with Kongo should be exciting. A Knock-Out-Reel win would surely put him in the spotlight for maybe one more fight to the title.

Vera? Dude...what happened? This guy was on a tear and vanished.

I dont know about the heavyweights (in UFC at least). Put on a TUF heavyweight show and find some solid talent. I could be wrong in some people's opinions about that one though.
