I hope. I think Velasquez should win. He should dominate if he is anything close to his prime. However he did look a bit diminished in his last fight. A lot of that was Werdrum, but some of that could have just been ware and tear on his body. If he comes in diminished this could be a very dangerous fight for him. Though I believe Browne is overrated, he is extremely dangerous in the clinch in particular when people are going for taken downs.  I am a little nervous for him.

Prediction: correct Velasquez   correct KO/TKO   correct Round 1  

Very dangerous fight for Cain, striking at distance will be dangerous, getting in the pocket will be dangerous and going for takedowns is going to be dangerous. But on the ground it's all Cain, the clinch for the most part will be won by Cain and his cardio will be a huge factor in this I think. Both of them are tough to take out, so whoever can manage their gas will likely win. 

Cain didn't even look nearly as bad as I remember when I re-watched he Werdum fight, I think high altitude could very well be why he faded but then again the damage Werdum put on him can't be ignored, especially for this fight, Franklin made the point that Cain has taken a lot of damage, not only that but in training he has killed his body.

i dont get how browne deserves a #2 ranked opp after a win over meathead??? my guess is it was the only fight to make.  cain will come in with something to prove after that bad loss.  ben rothwell will be pissed if travis wins bc he'll get the next title shot if he pulls off the upset.

This should be an easy fight for Cain.... should be. I've had the same back surgery Cain had and I'm telling you Dana White is full of ****. I wasn't cleared to lift of 10lbs for 6 weeks, let alone resume full MMA training. I did take a PT test with the Army 3 months later and passed fine, but as of today I'm 14 months post op and finally feeling like my old self again.

I'm just happy to see Cain in a non-rematch, non-title fight for once. Maybe training for a three-rounder instead of a five will lessen the chances of injury.

I hope Cain ****s him while Ronda can only stand there, look and cry. 

Travis Browne is one unlikable ****basket.

Cain will reduce the reach advantage with Brown and work a TKO in the 1st or 2nd.
