Does Cain Velasquez lack power?

I couldnt believe that the Dutch guy he was fighting didnt go down after shot aftre shot after shot, seemingly full power from Cain, landed flush but the guy didnt even seemed fazed

The leg kicks as well. Usually when so many leg kicks land like that, you'll see the guy flinch and limp. But I saw no effect.

Could this be a chink in the armor that could be exposed by better fighters?

I see a guy like Kongo having a field day with Cain.

That guy was just freakishly tough. Seriously, I don't think he'd be fazed if you hit him with a sledgehammer.

toshii -  Cain indeed lacks power, which limits his potential DRAMATICALLY.    He has not shot against a guy like Brock.


true

but I dont see him and Brock meeting up.

I see UFC foolishly thinking he'll take down and destroy Kongo, but based on what I've seen of Cain, thats not gonna happen.

toshii - Joe Rogan was in overdrive on the Cain spin and hype.  I think they give Cain at least two more "cans" to fight.


True, UFC is hitching their wagon to him for sure. And we know how that usually works out for them ;)

LOL, i just noticed that Cain got KO of the Night bonus. WTF? Favorable treatment anyone?

there were 3 TKO's on the card, and Cain's was 3rd best.

and what basis do you have to tell us Cain lacks power? You've been hit by him? You train with him? Newsflash A fighter doesn't KO each and every opponent. Sure looked like he had good power stunning him a few times.

So Cain gets KO Bonus, you think Dana is still punishing the AKA guys? LOL.

He does NOT lack power. The guy he faced is very much like CABBAGE. Guys like that can take a beating, i dont know what it is.

partially related side note: i fought a kid like that in highschool. every time i hit that fucker in the face he laughed.

maybe you lack power as well?

That dude was just retardedly tough.

Cain has stoppages in all 6 fights but lacks power; now I have heard it all.

Fitch, Koscheck and many other insiders speak about Cain as the one but a couple trolls or idiots on the internet know better than top pros. LMAO

6 fights, eh?

LOL, way to completely lose credibility in your first sentence!

Well, the opinions of those top pros are more likely to come from a place of bias, personal relationships and various agendas. Have you noticed that fighters/managers/trainers tend to pump up their teammates and friends and badmouth fighter they dislike? Amazing how that works.

Watch the fights yourself and start forming some of your own opinions.
