Does anyone think they will have a replacement?  What about Overeem?

With 3 weeks away I think they will find a replacement especially with JDS seemingly out of the picture now,ajka not trying to reschedule the fight quick.Who they can get I have no clue,lots of HW's already scheduled or timing wise not good but I think they see the $ in Ngannou so they'll make it worth it for someone imo.If I had to guess he'll stay on the card,they want to push him.I don't think it'll be a big name though.God this sucks =/ what a crazy fight that would have been.

why would a HW, who never comes close to missing 265lbs, take a diuretic?

I'm not even a little surprised. I would be more surprised to find out that a fighter was clean his entire career vs using substances at some point. Although I think with USADA, the UFC has cleaned up. IMO, there will be a trickle down to fighters starting out because the perceived need to use to compete at the highest level won't be there.

Apex Fight Sisters Roids? It was a diuretic!!!!

This might actually work out in N'Gannou's best interest. Think about it. Of the top 5 contenders of the HW division only N'Gannou and Cain are the only 2 to not have a crack at Miocic. And right now Miocic needs a challenger. And Cain has only fought 2x since 2015. UFC 216 or 218 could use a nice Main Event. So my guess is once Miocic gets his contract dispute under control that's the fight I see them making.

I think Cain was already on tap for the title shot. At least Stipe was offered that fight but as mentioned Stipe and the UFC are working on contract terms.

@ Detroit Superstar As far as potentially straight to a title yeah for sure,but on the flip side he could have really used the experience in a big fight and JDS,looked pretty ****** and it would really boost his name and hype ultimately with a win making a title fight a much bigger deal and to be perfectly honest we don't know how good he is yet.Goes right to the title then getting smashed could be bad for his career and he was 82% here over JDS for a reason.

I think it was a good road for many reasons.If you figure he fought JDS then got a title shot that's still another year or so of improvements which would be huge since the guys only been fighting for 3 or so years.I like to see guys built up a little and I really liked this avenue for him to get his name out with casuals and a JDS win would be huge for him.Also if they schedule Cain vs Stipe I hope they can find a way to get N'Gannou on the card too just in case.Just any top ten guy so he can be back up if someone pulls out.

I wouldn't normally say give him a Title Shot either but under these circumstances it makes sense. I do agree a JDS win wouldve helped and built his name up. But there's that chance, not that it was very likely, but what if JDS Ko'd Francis. And I'm really not interested in Cain fighting for a Title. The guy is never healthy. And for some reason if Cain beats Miocic. We'll probably see yet another "Undisputed" "Interim" Title. Lol

I'm very interested in Cain fighting, when healthy he's probably still the best HW in the world.
