Cain Valasquez and his Title Reign

I don't see Lesnar getting past Dos Santos either.

You can train all you want in the world. Brock has tons of raw talent. But their are 2 different types of people in the world. 1: The type of person that gets punched in the face and wants to hit back, or 2: The type of person that likes hitting other people in the face, but as soon as you hit them the freak out and don't know what to do. Brock is the latter. Brock could be the best fighter of all time if people didn't hit back.

As for Cain, I think he will stay on top for a good amount of time. He has a work ethic that is second to none. Is young and is still learning a and willing to be a sponge and soak everything in. He has so much heart and a very good mind for fighting. Their are other talented HW's in the UFC, but realistically Dos Santos is the only person that really matches up in all catagories with Cain. I wish the UFC would sign Overeem (not gonna happen sadly) and Fedor because those are 2 other fighters that would be a good fight for Cain.

My question is after Cain vs. JDS then what? The UFC needs to start looking at some good young HW's. Schaub is decent and will grow. Mintrione is starting to come into his own. Pat Berry is pretty weak. Brocks not young, neither is Nog, or Mir. Nelson is decent. I think he needs to lose the belly and become more dedicated. Sorry got of track.

After JDS, Carwin is the only other real challenge for Cain's belt right now. I agree after these fights they are going to have to sign some new blood.

I see him being champ for a long time too. He's so good at everything, and having watched all of his fights you can continue to see him evolve every time he enters the cage.

Carwin's last fight proved he is not a top-tier guy. He hasn't even fought good opponents in comparison to Velasquez and dos Santos. And now he's suppose to be fighting Kongo? What a step down.

Kongo is a step down. He was never and will never be a contender.

Dos Santos will probably be a good fight for Cain, but idk who would win.

Not for nothing ya'll but everyone's making a lot of assumptions regarding JDS' ability to defend the takedowns of a NCAA champion when the only top level fighter JDS has ever actually fight was Fabricio Werdum almost three years ago.

I'm not saying JDS can't win the fight but it's a little nonsensical to make the assumption that a guy who had trouble beating Roy Nelson and got taken down by Gabriel Gonzaga is going to breeze past Brock Lesnar. I know it's in vogue these days to hate on Brock and I guess I can understand, Cain did beat the living hell out of him, but ya'll are really sleeping on Brock here to a pretty idiotic level.

As far as Cain is concerned, he's looked fantastic thus far in his career. You never know for sure but I'd have to imagine Cain would fairly easily handle JDS stylistically similar to what he did to Cheick Kongo, basically using his wrestling to take JDS out of his comfort zone and beat him up from there. You take JDS out of the equation and the only guys I really see as a major threat to Cain would be Fedor and Overeem, but with neither of those guys headed to the UFC in the foreseeable future, I think Cain's prolly gonna be on top for a while.

Cro Cop, Yvel, Nelson > Mir, Gonzaga, Wain

lol Frank Mir is a more legitimately contender than Cro Cop, Yvel, and Nelson combined. You could literally genitally engineer those three into one person and thus combine their records and Mir would STILL be ranked higher and be a better fighter.
