    If anyone has ever earned a title shot, it's Cigano! That boy is NASTY!

    Cain is a monster and **** if they're not both technical as hell in their all around game!

    I'd say it's going to be the most technical Heavyweight fight we've ever seen! Calling it now!

    Who you got and how/why?

    Cause I got no freakin' clue!

    Cains gonna be coming off of a layoff and Cigano is definnitely more battle tested as well as having the better standup....

    I don't know. I'd lean towards JDS.

    Chicano vs. Cigano! Woot!

    I'd bet on Cain but my hopes are with Junior. Cain is too fast and dynamic for Cigano, and possibly even better at boxing. But I'm rooting for JDS!

    Cain by Wrasslin. Still not seen JDS in there with someone like Cain. Should be a close fight and a good one but I'm going with Cain

    JDS's TD defence looked excellent vs Carwin, but I'd say Cain is a more explosive wrestler than Shane. If Cain can keep getting the fight to the floor, he wins. If Junior can keep it on the feet, his better boxing means he wins. It's going to be one hell of a fight between two superb athletes, but I'm backing JDS to bust Cain up and win by decision.

    Get Reem in the UFC. Totally underwhelmed by JDS' last 2 fights

    I don't understand. The 5 straight (T)KOs (in the UFC) before weren't enough?

    He coasted his last two fights when both guys were there for the taking. Maybe he was playing it safe with a title shot in the horizon, and I dont blame him tbh

    But win or lose, Reem would make him work for it atleast

    Maybe on all three counts (the two fights and Alistair making him work for it). I could argue it either way

    I'll wait to see how he does in the Strikeforce Tourney against Werdum and maybe against a geriatric Barnett.
