I know some peeps are saying Dos Santos has the speed advantage here, but FightMetric shows differently, Cain has a higher Strikes Landed Per Minute than Cigano..... and not to mention better Striking accuracy % and striking defense %.

Dos Santos has speed. But Cain does too.

i hope cain stands with junior.........not because i want junior to win but because he'll be able to strike with him and it'll be a sick fight if he does!! even if junior doesnt beat cain im still 100% sure he'll be ufc champ in the future.....i mean he might not even be in his prime yet!

If Cain stands with JDS then this fight could surpass the greatness of Griffin/Bonnar. 2 sick strikers trading for 25 minutes!

Dos Santos keeps impressing the **** out me every time he fights. This is about as good as a match-up a mma fan can ask for. I don't care who wins this fight. I know that it will be fantastic.

The big question for me is how Cain has recovered from rotator cuff surgery, That injury is no joke, its the type of injury where alot of athletes just aren't the same afterwards. If he is genuinely 100% i think he wins. JDS also failed to finish a brutalised Carwin which doesn't speak well of his gas tank, if he lets Cardio Cain of the hook like that........

There is no loser in this fight. These are the best 2 HWs in the world by a considerable margin and with Cain's injury and layoff, JDS' best chance to win (imo). Would not be surprised any way this fight goes. 

A little off topic, since I'm an old man and do NOT play video games, how many caught this video?

@Mulefloyd, I saw that. No way JDS would get 2 takedowns on Cain.



Getting so close!

@ Thetonydunn I bet Cain its in great shape, he had been recovering for over a year, he could have a bit of ring rust, but we´ve seen not as good fighters do great after a long layoff. anything can happen in a HW fight everyone knows that, but I think Cain it´s gonna pick his shots as always, time  JDS and go for the TD, and after a couple of TD´s with his gorund and pund, JDS won´t be the same, also I believe ppl underestimate Cain´s chance to KO´JDS, yes JDS hits a bit harder, but Cain hits hard and it´s more precise and lands more punches per minute than JDS, and precision and number of stikes often get better results than power, specially precision.

Actually I don't think JDS getting a takedown is out of the question because I don't think Cain will be worried about getting back up and grappling is sure to wear down JDS faster.

I'm pulling for Cain, but with the layoff & the injury & JDS's tdd, I can't pick my guy. If Cain pulls this off, it'll be by far the most impressive win of his career.

I think we can all agree that JDS' picture on this site needs to be changed to this:



That's him on the left. On the right is a guy who looks just like KJ Noons, but is apparently on some Brazillian soap opera, and his name is the Gypsy. Apparently when Junior pulled his hair back he looked like this guy (according to his team) and he was given the nickname Cigano (Gypsy).

The pic of Junior with hair is hilarious, imo.
