If Cain is out the rest of the year then.........

JDS vs Cormier, or JDS vs ????? Something needs to happen. No sense in keeping the champ on the shelf. Too bad Overeem will be out for so long.

Cormier is hurt too,plus he still under contract with sf

? I must be missing something here, why is Cain out for the rest of the year ? Phone Post

How do those AKA guys break their hands so much

MARKU HUNTO!!!! Phone Post

They use technuiqes from the past of martial arts to improve boxing more quickly, heavybags wouldn't do it.


 What a mess! If Cain is indeed out with a broken hand we've got:

 
Lesnar retired.
Overeem suspended.
Hunt / Cain / Cormier / Barnett injured.
Nog / Carwin / Mir coming off losses.
 
That's almost all of the top 10 heavyweights out of action right now.
 
Frank got his shot with wins over Cro Cop, Nog and Nelson.
 
Werdum is ranked in the top 5 and has wins over Bigfoot, Fedor and Nelson and if he puts a stop to Russows 11 fight win streak on top of that he is easily the best option right now.
 
Werdum vs JDS 2 would be interesting - that first fight with JDS was Juniors debut in the UFC. Werdum came in looking chubby and not having any idea of the monster he was facing.
 
I think JDS still takes it convincingly but I think Werdum does a lot better than Mir and has a much better chance at an upset. He has a much more solid chin than Mir, his striking looked sharp beating up Big Country more convincingly than Mir and he is arguably the best HW BJJ guy around right now.
 
Hopefully Cain's hands not broken or Werdum stomps Russow in dominant fashion so the HW division doesn't sit in complete limbo for the rest of the year!!

Seems like all roads point to a Werdum rematch Phone Post

Overeem is the only true #1 hw contender right now Phone Post

Another rally for Marko Hunto?

 He's not definately out... they want an x-ray to confirm that the hand isnt broken.  If it's broken then he'll be out.

If werdum looks amazing against Russow then I suppose that could do it, but that fight wont sell much in the states... it could headline Brazil though.

Cotmier is out with a broken hand and he's in SF.  Overeem is out but NSAC said they would consider an earlier application so I suppose a New Years Eve fight could happen.  Other than that JDS has nothin...
 

Stipe Miocic & Travis Browne could soon battle for #1 Contendership soon if these guys don't heal up soon.

They should just do the Werdum JDS fight in a Brazilian card if Cain is injured and he beats Russow in dominant fashion (i really do not see Overeem being fast tracked here....). Dana needs to ''make'' up something for the Brazilian fans anyways. It is a risk but the chances will be that JDS comes through that title defense reasonable unscathed and will be able to fight either the Reem or Cain.

lol @ hw Phone Post

I think jds vs werdum goes just like jds vs Mir... Tbh the only fights tfat would make sense is hunt, and I think Struve is coming along nicely.


Dfw could always give Roy a big fuck you and put him in there lol Phone Post

Sergio88 - Stipe Miocic & Travis Browne could soon battle for #1 Contendership soon if these guys don't heal up soon.



They need to just do this!


Werdum fight is pointless, JDS crushed him, and while Werdum is better than what he showed in that fight, it's just going to be another bullshit deal where he flops to guard everytime JDS raises his fist, just like the Overeem fight. All JDS would have to do is avoid the ground like the plague, he wins, the end.



just wait for Overeem

Going to take too long
