Thanks for the pictures @Card. I think Cain should grow the hair back, it looks awesome.

I think this will be mostly like the second fight but I think Velasquez will earn the late finish this time.

Prediction: correct Velasquez   correct KO/TKO   wrong Round 4  

Velasquez has cut down some weight not much but some and JDS is a little heavier, I don't think  Dos Santos made the right choice, and I believe that if Velasquez doesn't tire himself out with so many failed takedowns attempts he can finish JDS in the late rounds

Prediction: correct Velasquez   correct KO/TKO   wrong Round 2  

Dos Santos has a puncher's chance.  So Cain must avoid that.  

To keep Cain off him, Junior would need a superior jab and wicked kicks.

By superior jab, I mean like Ali, Larry Holms.

BTW, with most major events, I try to keep the event and bout pages for the top few fights updated with all the relevant videos produced by the UFC. Go to the Cain/JDS bout page and scroll down for the Countdown segment and all 3 Primetime episodes. Countdown segments have also been uploaded to Cormier/Nelson and Melendez/Sanchez.

Prediction: wrong dos Santos   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 2  

Junior had a bad knee in the first match and scored a KO.  With a facial injury, his back will once again be against the wall.  Junior will rise to the occasion.  Expect the knockout!

Cain had a worse injury in the first fight, he was literally half the fighter, when he was fit we all saw what happened.

Well Cain didn't lose the first fight because of an injury. He got clipped.

@Yaspaa thats a big excuse to make. and Velasquez fans are the ones who say JDS makes excuses...
Was he LITERALLY half the fighter!? really?

I dont know who wins, but JDS's chances are not very well represented by the odds. i bet this one.

Prediction: correct Velasquez   wrong Decision  

I think Cain takes it. Same sort of game plan as the last fight. Mix up the stand up and takedowns to keep JDS guessing. JDS will keep his hands lower because of the threat of takedowns and won't be planted enough on his rear foot to land a good counter cross.
