Too one dimensional...Man, Brock was begging to get Guillotined and Cain didn't do it..In MMA one dimesional strikers don't reign long. UFC HW division starting to suck now...Strikeforce's HW division would run over the UFC's
The UFC division historically has always blown. It lacks consistency and it lacks experience. Guys like Mir are perennial contenders. And guys like Kongo and Gonzaga have no place in the UFC. The TUF bunch Schaub Madsen and even Nelson aren't good enough or marketable enough for the UFC. Right now the UFC needs veterans. But it was quick to get rid of the likes of AA Sylvia and Monson who would have been invaluable for any up and comer trying to build a career in the UFC. Instead the UFC prefers to get its rookies to beat up shot name veterans like Herring and Yvel Big Nog Couture, and then proclaim them as the next big thing. Fact is the heavys in SF if there was a tourny would utterly steam roll the guys in the UFC. As for Cain being one dimensional thats rather subjective. If the one dimension he has works theres no need to change what works. Cain has stamina for days and good power in either hand. There was no need to look for a sub against Brock when he clearly had him hurt.
I wouldn't call Cain a one dimensonal striker. He's base is his wrestling. http://www.wrestlinghalloffame.org/wrestlers.php?wrestler=12087
Good points..Wanna see more than stand up from him..Well, just gotta wait to see how he developes..Righ now, not a huge fan.. HeE is about to get a HUGE push...
One dimensional? He did the previsously impossible by escaping several of Brock's takedowns due to his wrestling pedigree and even got one of his own, which he capitalized on to a much greater degree than Brock. Wrestling + Superior striking is a pretty good mix for MMA success if you have at least submission defense...
agreed. although I still think JDS beats him in the next fight. JDS should have gotten the fight before Carwin.
Cain is far from one dimensional very far from it. However I agree I dont believe he will be Champion for long and thats only because Junior Dos Santo is waiting for his title shot right now. If there was no JDS id say Cain isnt dropping that title to anyone is this divison.
