Can't wait for Santos Clause to deliver me another KO for xmas .

Edit : Also i would'nt mind seeing Dos Santos vs Struve and Werdum again . Struve has grown a lot since their last fight and Werdum is still a big threat on the ground if he can get it there and he finished both of them really early so maybe second time around will be more competitive . Dos Santos vs Barnett would be cool too but I doubt we see Barnett in the UFC unless Dana gets desperate for contenders.

Lol to be fair it must be hard when you have such a large chin for a target and not overly great one as well.

JDS is gonna have the belt for a long time. I dont even think Ubereem will stop him. JDS is gonna KO Cain, Ubereem, and anybody else until somebody can get past his boxing

No...Trae you right. @JM Have you ever seen Overeem fight before?...obviously not if you think he doesn't have a questionable chin...he's been KO'd by multiple 205ers.

There is a saying, roughly translated ( as i do not know the equivalent one in english ) " everybody has his match ".

You cannot really say "junior shall have the belt for a long time". Before Dos Santos, people viewed Cain as being so great and that he will "have the belt for a long time". Well.. suprise!

I was never one of those people. Cain showed us he was destined to get knocked out in the Kongo fight. JDS hasnt shown me anything that makes me think he will lose anytime soon.

I am surprised that the house is going with Dos Santos 76-24.  That is quite lopsided in Junior's favor.

What is so unlikely that Cain will shoot and take him down and ground and pound him?  Everyone thinks Junior must have good ground skills simply because he is Brazillian and a good friend of the Nogs.  Has anyone ever seen Junior on the ground?  Then how do you know his skills are that honed?

When Cain lost the belt, he was fighting with a knee injury.  He said if it wasn't such an important fight, he would have pulled out.  I think BECAUSE it was so important, he HAD to pull out.  Everyone keeps saying that Junior was hurt.  But so was Cain.  

I think Cain will take back his belt and the house will be shocked.  And disappointed, too, apparently.

Anything can happen.  Junior doesn't sound enthusiastic to take the fight.

Swickotine

you must not know a lot about the reem

he has never been knocked out has a heavy weight. all his tko/ko loses have been at 205lb(1 tko at 210lb for retirement). he went up to heavyweight because he was cutting tons of weight to get to 205 lb and it was draining him.

his tko/ko loses at 205 lb were against Bobby Hoffman,Chuck Liddell,Mauricio Ruax2, and Sergei Kharitonov

been a heavyweight since 2007 and hasnt be knocked out in an MMA match since 2007.

he getting that belt. wait and see

edit

beat the likes of Tyrone Spong,Badr Hari,Peter Aerts in kickboxing.. ARE YOU KIDDING ME. been in grappling matches and has more submission wins that tko/ko wins. COME ON

You're right .... he only gets KO'd by middleweights. JDS would knock Reems head into 4th row .... And I like Overeem.
