Honestly cains best chance to make it to fight night is to train extremely lightly. Maybe just focus on rolling. Because apparently anytime he gets ******* touched his body disintegrates .

They should of put 2 title fights on this card seeing as Cain is prone to getting injured. I REALLY hope this fight happens though.

Sadly most probably not, I would need around 500$ between plane and event tickets, plus meals and drinks. and that's out of my budget for the moment, because my wife and I are finally building our house.

my brother @blitz is definitely going though he lives in mexico city, and no chance in hell he will miss that.

but if someone wants to donate his UFC Tapology  contest prize to me, so I can go watch Velasquez vs Werdum... that would be great!

This should have been the card they STACKED. Because there's well over a 50% chance that Cain doesn't make it to fight night.

It's funny to think that just a few years ago Alvarez/Melendez was a super fight. This ****'s been years in the making, and finally we get to see it. That's pretty ******* cool.

Smart move for making a kick ass co-main. We know 1 of 2 things will happen. Werdum will get a new opponent after Cain gets injured or Gil/Alvarez becomes the main.

If a miracle does happen and Cain makes it to fight night without something tearing or breaking I'm hoping Werdum wins it just based on the fact we will see the HW title defended more then once every two years.
