    H2H. No advantages (i.e. elevation, conditioning). Troubled by Verdum's decision to greatly delay the rematch, but still think he's a bad matchup for Cain.

    Agreed.

    Werdum has much better striking and is a more well-rounded fighter than Cain.

    Cain seem's to stall you against the cage, take you down and grind you down. He has NO stand-up game. Can't kick, hasn't got a great chin, and seem's puzzled when getting knee'd in the clinch.

    Werdum, on the other hand, is the most improved fighter of the last 10 years - Easy!

    Too many weapons in his ****nal for Cain to deal with.

    WORLD CLASS Grappling
    Fantastic well-rounded Striking
    Cardio
    Confidence (He tapped Fedor and beatdown Cain)

    Werdum's style is the answer to Cain's style.

    Im not so sure. Sea level Cain is a different beast entirely. Heminds me of Weidman beating Anderson the first time. I'll need to see him do it twice to believe he really is the better man

    Werdum will beat him again. Werdum's Thai Plum seemed to be the perfect answer for Cain's grinding style, and his ground game will make Cain avoid taking it to the ground.

    Agreed. Werdum has got the plan and the tools to beat Cain.

    Cain is tremendous at what he does; but that's all he can do. Without a "Plan B" he's screwed (as we've seen).

    I am not so sure about that Termite :think

    I love Cain unlike some, but Verdum seems to have reached a higher level in the last few years imo :bbb

    Cain always comes back...ive watched Werdum for years unless he can do it again im not sold,all the fighters have improved,if he defends against Cain I still have JDS over him.No one has ever defended the UFC HW belt more than 3 times in a row,i don't believe anyone will for awhile. Barring injuries Cain is the best HW ive seen so far.

    I think Fab's submission skills give him a wee advantage.

    We will see termite, we will see. Truth be told I like Cain and was sorry to see him loose but I also like Werdum so I don't really care I just appreciate the good match up. Yes JDS is right there as well.

    I loved seeing "Brown Pride" racist ass dominated and beat down

    Imagine someone came out with "White Pride"

    That annoying herky jerky bob bob bobbing smother against cage grindabore ruined the divisions most exciting fighter

    I hope Werdum ****ing kills him

    I am not sure its fair to call Cain a racist.

    Having pride in your skin colour and hating others for their skin colour are two different things.

    Now maybe he hates others for their skin colour as well, lol, however, from what I have heard he is a pretty good dude.

    That said I want Werdum to win but I don't dislike Cain.
