@Franklin880088 "nut huggers"? You're ridiculous; we're all saying the same thing here.
JDS is Cain's bigget threat, however we simply disagree on the degree of threat.
I personally believe Cain will dominate the division for quite some time.

Cain most likely won't take him down and while Cain has solid kickboxing skills, Werdum improved in that aspect drastically. Werdum had some good exchanges with Reem standing, KO'ed Russow who has a great chin and beat the **** out of Big Country standing. Cain on the other hand had problems with Kongo's stand up.
Not saying Werdum will win but it is closer than people seem to think it is...

I'm not saying Werdum is an easy match I think that beside JDS he is Cain biggest threat, but also I believe it's nothing Cain can't handle

I don't think he is going to shoot on Werdum that often if at all. That should make it very interesting.
Werdum didn't survive the first round against Big Country he won it. Besides Roy doesn't have really poor cardio so I don't get what you are trying to say there.
Anyways if they ever fight I think Werdum could get the job done...

Muay thai Werdum 2.0 is a beast, I'm sure he will beat Nog decisively enough to be granted a title shot immediatley after the fight. Cain will have his hands full.

@diele,yes he out struck JDS because of his TD´s treath, I think he will TD werdum, Cain has great positioning and awarnes of subs I´m not sying he has great or even good BJJ I´m just talking about his positioning and body placement awarness and he has the most brutal gnp in the UFC that could take someones BJJ out, but still Werdum will always be a treath on the mat and anyone who takes him lightly is a fool. anyway IMO cain is a better striker than Werdum and I think it would be foolish of Werdum not to be afraid of his takedowns because Cain gnp is as dangerous as Werdum BJJ..another fight where he didn´t used his wrestling was big nog that ended quick too :)
come on are you really trying to convience me that Big country doesn´t have bad cardio?... . because how many decision fights has he won=0 how many has lost =3 how many fights in the UFC past the 1st round has won = 1 Cro Cop who was a can in the UFC and a shell of the fighter he used to be.
I know you have a good sence of humor so it must be that

He was still going strong in the 3rd against JDS although he got blasted hard severeal times which takes alot out of you. Don't call CroCop a "can" please besides this has nothing to do with Roy's cardio. It was a intensive fight with alot of flurrys and Roy was going strong in the 3rd and finished a old CroCop (never a can CroCop)...

I´ll give you the fight with JDS but he was wasted against Mir and Werdum, he was also very tired against Cro cop, I´m/was a huge fan of Cro Cop but he was not the same fighter in the UFC he hardly striked and much less used his leg kicks, he just stood there taking punches with out unleashing hell on his opponents like he used to, that´s what I mean anyway lets just agree to disagree I think Roy has lost most of his fights because of his cardio you think otherwise, it´s cool

Yeah we have to agree to disagree on that one...

@Trae To say that JDS can't beat Cain is just silly, he already proved he could finish him with one punch so if they fought a couple more times you think there is no chance JDS could land a punch that could put Cain out again?

Honestly the two that come to mind are JDS and believe it or not, Frank Mir. I'm not saying Frank Mir would beat Cain, I'm saying imo he has the 2nd best chance among the current HWs.
