We need to see Velazquez vs Junior Dos Santos now. Both guys seem like real forces to be reckoned with in this division.
I don't think he is for real, because Nog's punch resistance is shot to hell. At heavyweight, Randy Couture doesn't break an egg and hasn't for some time. Mir knocked Nog senseless, as did Cain, as would any full-sized heavy with a bit of weight behind his punches. Cain couldn't break Kongo despite punishing him for round after round, he doesn't have heavyweight power. How is Velasquez, as a 240lbs wrestler with negligible punching power, going to deal with Lesnar, a 280lbs wrestler? How is Velasquez, a 240lbs wrestler, going to deal with Mir, a 265lbs BJJ expert who is better than Cain on his feet and on the ground? I'd like to see Cain vs Junior Dos Santos next. If Cain beats him, I may accept I've been too harsh, but right now I just can't see him coping with the best in the division. I think both Lesnar and Mir beat him without too much trouble.
Who is Cameron ? Carwin maybe ? Mir is fighting Carwin in March for the interim title so they face Brock Lesnar for the undisputed title in July. Perfect fight for Cain is to fight the winner of a very important fight between Junior Dos Santos and Gabriel Gonzaga especially if its Santos because hes been on a killer roll. Velasquez vs Gonzaga/JDS should happen on the night of Lesnar vs Carwin/Mir in July then the tournament gets settled in November or around that time.
Cain impressed me by showing great timing in being able to nail that double hook. It looks easy but requires timing and precision...wow It would be nice to see him and Fedor cross paths.
i hate to say it but nog might need to think about hanging the gloves up,cain is great up and comer i would like to see him fight dos santos (barring the dos santos gets past gonzaga)and the winner get the title shot after mir/carwin
