There aren't many heavyweights Randy hasn't beaten, why not put him up against the most powerful up and coming guy?

Because its a slap in the face to the rest of the heavyweight division that have been putting their bodies and careers on the line for Dana White.
Let's look at the heavyweights listed on UFC's own website (I left out Arlovski, Mir, Lesnar, Couture and Nogueira)
Carwin Shane 9-0-0 6' 4" (193 cm) 265 (120 kg)
Coleman Mark 15-8-0 6' 1" (185 cm) 255 (116 kg)
Eilers Justin 9-5-1 6' 1" (185 cm) 235 (107 kg)
Evensen Dan 10-3-0 6' 3" (191 cm) 250 (113 kg)
Gonzaga Gabriel 9-3-0 6' 1" (185 cm) 242 (110 kg)
Hardonk Antoni 7-4-0 6' 4" (193 cm) 245 (111 kg)
Kongo Cheick 22-4-1 6' 4" (193 cm) 240 (109 kg)
McCully Justin 8-4-2 6' 2" (188 cm) 240 (109 kg)
O'Brien Jake 10-2-0 6' 3" (191 cm) 230 (104 kg)
Sanchez Eddie 10-2-0 6' 2" (188 cm) 230 (104 kg)
Severn Dan 70-13-7 6' 2" (188 cm) 250 (113 kg)
Velasquez Cain 4-0-0 6' 1" (185 cm) 240 (109 kg)
Wain Neil 5-0-0 5' 10" (178 cm) 242 (110 kg)
Wellisch Christian 9-3-0 6' 3" (191 cm) 237 (108 kg)
Werdum Fabricio 11-3-1 6' 4" (193 cm) 231 (105 kg)
There is a lot of fighters on this list that are still active and have excellent records that could be more deserving of a title shot than Brock Lesnar. Brock should have to fight and beat 2 or 3 of these guys at the very least before he gets a chance at the title.
