You can pretty much guarantee JDS/Cain 2 will happen by New Years.  I can't imagine anyone else challenging JDS now that Overeem is out.  I can't think of any other legit fighters that have a chance against either one of these guys other than Browne, and even he would probably get crushed.

Swick, the only reason Frank made the second round is because JDS has been saying for a week 2nd rd KO.  He could have easily ended that fight in the first round.

if i could have switched to struve sub it would have been perfect,. at the weigh ins he just looked bigger than he has ever been. when he hits 265 he will be a real threat to all heavyweights outside the top 4.

who is ever in charge of this event. just a reminder that Dana says at the post fight press conference that Sass got a $70,000 bonus for Sub of the Night.
