    This is my favorite potential heavyweight fight outside of Fedor/Overeem. I have no idea who would take it.

    Cain's just too tough, too much cardio, too good of a wrestler.

    This is a nice match-up.

    Cain is my pick now, and his showing against Brock could either solidify or totally liquefy that. :yep

    Wrestling is the style of the moment and every top wrestler now has that extra edge (Hey just watching Chael will do that for you) Everyone knows I love JDS so the way I see it, its a matter of getting JDS down. I think Cain can grind out a win on the mat but from what Ive seen JDS is very hard to take down and keep down(although Cain can keep him down IMHO)

    So I will go with, if this becomes a striking match, Cain is going to sleep w/o a doubt. JDS took bombs from a huge puncher Nelson and was never remotely hurt. If Cain gets hit with that uppercut, Im afraid he wont last long as Nelson.

    This is a great match up, JDS has a definite advantage in the stand up, don't see Cain lasting with him on the feet but despite JDS having good takedown defence Cain has the ability to take this to the ground. Really hard to call and both these guys are so inexperienced there are some questions that will need to be answered before I can give an accurate opinion.

    I think JDS would stop him. If JDS landed even one of the shots that Kongo hurt him with he would have stopped him right there.

    Very tight fight and I would enjoy seeing a Cain win.

    Striking versus grappling. I'll say JDS because I think he can stay on his feet. He seems quite athletic and skilled in the clinch thus allowing him to keep it standing.

    Kongo caught Cain and at least momentarily hurt him. If JDS does the same, he will swarm Velasquez and get the stoppage. I don't think Cain will get past Brock though.

    We are more likely to see JDS/Lesnar IMHO.
