Wow…Dana will give Cain a tongue-lashing if he sees this.

video doesnt work for me…what did he have to say about Fedor and Nog?

by john G on Nov 7, 2009 11:42 AM EST up reply actions

He said he matches up better with Shane then Nog. He said Fedor is the greatest and would beat Lesnar. Says Lesnar is a big guy but he could beat him, also that Shane could beat Brock. He doesn’t know if he is even fighting Nog yet, he hasn’t signed or heard anything about the fight, but he would be willing to do it at 108 if he was asked.

Ya…Dana is not going to like this interview. Scolding session is coming for Cain

by Bob Lawblah on Nov 7, 2009 12:54 PM EST up reply actions

Why would Dana be mad, everyone has opinions. It’s not like he said Brock sucks, anyone who thinks a guy 5 or so fights into his MMA career is better than Fedor needs to get scolded.

After BROWN PRIDE takes care of NOG he’ll make a run for the belt

Brown on brown crime?

Hey TaPouT, we get it. Your brown and you want white people to know it. Capitalizing BROWN PRIDE on every Cain thread doesn’t further your cause of removing the insecurities you’ve created in your own head about being brown.

Caesar. You know as well as I do that Dana craps on employees that don’t toe the UFC line….you can’t change history.

cain is overrated he really is .i think if ben was just alittle better and it wasnt his first time in the ufc he would beat cain .if kongo had td he would have beat cain .nog will def smash him

by tz swanger on Nov 7, 2009 11:42 AM EST reply actions

agreed,im not sold on cain yet kongo and rothwell were made for him.big nog will be the acid test though and cain leaves limbs everywhere when he gnps.if the randy big nog turns up he wins by sub 2nd round.

Cain is underrated right now. He has schooled everybody he has gone up against. BTW, next time you make an argument don’t use so many if’s.

by Don "The Prophet" King on Nov 7, 2009 4:17 PM EST up reply actions

I don’t know why so many are on that hating wagon. He has shown to be more than an excellent prospect. He still has a lot more room to develop too which is insane. People say he doesnt have natural power, well even if he doesn’t once his technique is on point power will come. As far as the Big Nog fight, it’s a stylistic nightmare for him. But everyone else even brock and carwin, i would give him a great shot i think simply because of his ridiculous cardio and technical wrestling. He has also shown to have a chin and great recovery instincts.

by NameNotRequired on Nov 7, 2009 5:21 PM EST up reply actions

I think they hated Cain because he couldn’t finish Kongo. Well let’s see if you keyboard warriors can…

by Syd on Nov 7, 2009 8:06 PM EST up reply actions

I think ur a moron. Rothwell never had a shot. Im not a Cain fan but i think he is improving and is getting way better. The kid is way more humble than Carwin and is a way better fighter than Carwin..

Off topic here but john g what’s ur thots on the bisping kang fight? Think u were about the only other bisping fan I know. Personally I dnt think he is as good as the hype the ufc were giving him, but no way is he as bad as most the guys on here make out. Anyway man what u think is gonna happen at 105?

Yeah how stupid of people to “object” to the brown pride tattoo, thats just so stupid and stuff I mean anyone can have a “insert race” pride tattoo… NOT

cain makes fighters look like kids getting beat down by a bully. he is always moving and doing damage. he is gonna be a beast in say 2 years

by denniskuderjr on Nov 7, 2009 1:25 PM EST reply actions

Im sold on Cain after his last fight its clear he can do exactly what Brock does except with Skill not Size.

As for the guy doing the interview….‘some people question where Fedor is the #1 HW’

Maybe the dumb ass dont know but its not a matter of IF Fedor is and has been for the past several years.

by Khaos_Warrior on Nov 7, 2009 1:33 PM EST reply actions

LOL its clear he can do exactly what Brock does except with Skill not Size. that made no sense what so ever Khaos LOL made me laugh any way skill wise they very equal and I would even give the edge to brock on strikings as there both not great yet at it but Brock has the KO power when he connects as far as wresling skill goes Brock would destroy Cain in a wrestling match hands down. But wrestling in MMA is a little different than actual wrestling and cain had adapted his wresling game well with MMA as did Lesnar I really don’t think cain has much of a chance against Brock because he doesn’t even have a punchers chance really? Anyway knows whos best Cain is cool and respects Fedor but Fedor has not faced anyone close to Brocks strengths so it’s naive to say he would win for sure as it would be to say Brock would for sure you can debate tell your blue in the face but all it is is a opinion as he said I THINK and his opinion is no better than yours.

That was a funny post. Since when is Cain skilled at anything? No KO power, mediocre wrestling(relatively), brutal ground game. What does he do with any sort of skill?
Brock vs. Cain would be a joke. Shane and Brock is much closer, at least Shane has a punchers chance. LOL Khaos LOL
