Look at Frank Mir for instance, he was rocked by Big Nog and was caught in submissions and the escape/reversal motions were automatic for him ... JDS looked like he had to be with all his senses and actually think about it, which is cool, unless you take pride in a BJJ black belt.

If anyone had dared suggest this would have happened would have been to invite an avalanche of down-arrows.
I ask the house, in all sincerity. Was anyone truly shocked? I mean really, truly shocked? And if so, does this change anyone's opinion of Cain Velasquez? Will he get his props now that he has shown what he can do?
His skill set is awesome. But I still give JDS a lot of credit. He is still Top 3, along with Cain and Overeem. And JDS might still prove the master of Alistair. Anything could happen. Just because Cain proved too tough this time, doesn't mean that JDS won't destroy Alistair Overeem. This is still MMA and anything can happen.
War Cain, War Junior! War UFC! War UFC 155!

I would like to see Cain Velasquez face Josh Barnett.
ok before you crucify me because you might say "ohh hd Josh already fought DC and got basically man handled by him and he trains with Cain" I know, I know. But the reason I would like to see this fight is for the fact of how good of a catch wrestler Josh is. His striking is decent and I am curious how the Classic Wrestling vs Catch Wrestling would turn out.
If Josh does get a good streak going and beats maybe 3 names, than yes it would be a kick ass fight.

And put Bigfoot in with Daniel Cormier.
And then let JDS fight the winner of Cormier vs. Bigfoot.
That would make a little more sense.

[edit] Maybe have JDS fight Bigfoot.
I do not subscribe to giving JDS an immediate rematch after such a decisive beating. JDS must wait his turn for another crack at the title. He will get it, but not right away.
I assume that Cain and Junior will fight several more times before they hang up their jock straps.

I normally look for it on Sunday mornings. Enjoy watching it after I wake up with my snacks around me. Press Conferences & caffeine. Ummm good. Such a warm, natural routine. My 'breakfast'.

I haven't seen him and he lost all his $$ in the Tapology wagering game. He may me nursing his wounds for a while.
