lol. Carwins shots are slow. Cain does set up his shots better. JDS will find himself on the canvas. He(JDS) left Ed Soares and Black House for another camp? Maybe he's been working on some things and we might see him defend a couple of take downs, but I still think Cain can put this fight where he wants.

Prediction: correct dos Santos   correct KO/TKO   correct Round 1  

I'm not sure about JDS's success defending Velasquez's take downs, but I do think he can nullify some of the attempts by using superior footwork, movement, and combinations.  But here's something I just thought of.  JDS has awesome kicks, but he hardly ever uses them, which invites Cain to shoot for take downs without much concern for counter.

Training with Black House means Dos Santos is training with some of the best the MMA world has to offer, so hopefully these guys are preparing him for all dimensions of this fight.  I'm sticking with a Dos Santos victory, but I can honestly see some of your points about Cain's wrestling creating a problem.

How awesome would that be to see a copy-cat Pettis kick by JDS for the KO victory?  There's probably only a .000001% chance of it, but still.

I'm definitely not a Cain hater.  I actually like his fighting style quite a bit, but I would love to see the KO happen for the sheer excitement.

I am not invested as a fan in either of these fighters.  I'm just thrilled that I will get to see such a great fight between two awesome fighters, for free.
