hmb - LAME. Cain was KO'd in 2 minutes. Rematch should have never happened.
Getting caught & getting beat for 5 rounds is completely different. Maybe thats why Dana gave him the second fight. Phone Post

ShaqNoob - 1 minute actually. You saying that the rematch, which was not immediate, after tonight's result is one of the dumbest things I've read all year.

Well he's right, Cain only got this because Overeem tested positive.

Saying that someone who got KOed in 64 seconds then wins only one single fight (a win against someone coming off a brutal 1st round KO loss no less) has somehow "earned" a title shot, is just false. Cain got lucky Overeem screwed up, and that the HW division has no depth.

As for saying the rematch was deserved because of tonight's result, that's silly. Matchmakers aren't psychic.

DanTheWolfman - I agree with original post but not what Dana just said on FUEL....said everyone was asking for it right away and IDK

I got from the press conference that Dana said "not right now" but he certainly sees it in the future.

If there is a mod that can change the title to "immediate rematch" rather than "rubber match" i'd appreciate it. My mistake guys.

Willin - If injured knees = doing backflips during media workouts and backarches post fight then yea.. he was "injured." Love JDS but let's be real.

JDS got surgery after that fight. People talk about Cain having an injured knee, but he didn't get surgery. He was coming off shoulder surgery and a long layoff, but JDS is the one who got surgery after the fight due to an injury that occurred pre-fight.

I really don't think injuries had anything whatsoever to do with the first fight though. When JDS beats Cain, it will almost always be early on. And JDS does have a very good chance of "catching" Cain any time they fight.

After the first though it will be Cain overwhelming JDS the great majority of the time. But JDS by 1st round finish is always very possible, as well.

theshooter - Oh that's bullshit, the first fight was one sided in favor of JDS and Cain got a rematch.


There needs to be a rubber match between these two at some point down the road.

While I mostly agree with you, there is a difference between a quick knockout and a 5 round beating.

Difference is, jds survived and wasn't finished. Cain went lights out. Love both guys and would love to see a rematch. The right hand in the first stole juniors wind for the entire fight... Phone Post

If there isn't going to be an immediate rematch (I think there should be depending on how long recovery is for JDS) it would be nice to see Big Country get a shot. Roy Nelson with the strap is probably a recurring nightmare for Dana though so I'm not sure it will ever happen. Phone Post

With how bad Cain looked from the second round on, I think if Junior can sort himself out he'd win the rematch. Cain looked like shit, which speaks volumes as to how bad Junior was.

Anyway yeah, a win or two, let Reem and Werdum go first, then a rematch would be great.

Umm the guy with the tattoo is Cain. Sounds like you're confusing the two. Phone Post

Cain fought Bigfoot on the night that JDS was supposed to fight overeem (Mir was the replacement). I think, by this point, Cain would have had another shot at the belt regardless. Although the HW division is starting to get a bit better, there are just too few guys worthy of the title shot. Phone Post

Let him fight one opponent and then get another shot, just like Cain did. Who else are they going to put in against Cain after the Reem fight? Who would make it a better fight than JDS?

Dfw wants the Mexican crowd. Cain gets quick rematch.

Dfw wants to keep the Mexican crowd so JDS doesn't get a quick rematch

Either way I hate quick rematches especially for titles Phone Post

McLeod - Well, I agree I GUESS. That said, he hung in there and fought HARD for 5 rds after being basically decapitated in the 1st. He defended all takedowns up till then. He gassed as a result. The fight might've been different, so a rematch isn't a guaranteed replay.
But he should'nt have to fight more than once. Cain lost HARD in 1 minute and only fought once not against a top 5 guy and got a rematch. I say give JDS like a Struve and then rematch. That'd be the same.
If not, you REALLY gotta think they did want Cain as champ and don't want the rematch for other reasons.

Dana will do anything to get and maintain Cain as HW champion, as he thinks it's good business for the UFC.

Including engaging in what most would consider unethical behavior.

Giving Cain a rematch but not JDS is an example of this.
