    Hard to tell yet, I think he is rated properly right now.

    He's done what he's had to do.

    We'll find out with the JDS fight. The only time he hasn't looked awesome was against Kongo. If he's ironed out the flaws in his game that fight exposed then yeah, he's pretty awesome.

    I don't think he is just yet. He did in fact beat an overated oppenent in Lesnar. Cain is skilled, but all the "baddest man"
    crap need to stop.

    No, he is not overrated, he is rated appropriately. Right now, most people seem to rank him around 3rd or 4th at heavyweight, behind the likes of Werdum, Fedor, and some would say Overeem too. I think that's fair for now. We will see for sure if Cain is the real deal when he fights JDS, as he will need to be top class to win that one.

    No.

    No one is comparing him or his reign to anything else yet, he is as humble as you could possibly get and he's 9-0 - Impossible to rate him one way or the other yet.

    No

    If anyone is overrated just now it's Werdum. He is NOT on Fedor, Overeem, Cain or JDS' all round level

    He got a win over a guy he would lose to 9 times out of 10, and a lot of people are puting him on the top of the heap

    Rseume is a factor, but not when someone is as clearly inferior as Werdum is to these 4 guys

    Whoever wins between him & JDS is getting the #3 spot in my book.

    Overeem
    Fedor
    Cain/JDS
    Werdum

    Cain, no. I haven't heard anyone overrating him at all.
