there’s never been a hw fighter who put a pace on like cain. that and the wrestling and relentless ground and pound makes him my number 2 hw ever. behind fedor. even though i feel confident that he may have beat fedor during his later carreer. now that jones is hw i may have to re think it. but jones has one or two more fights max i think.
that’s not true when they trained. according to gym memebers.

Prime Cain probably wins

I’ll fuckin laugh if Jones beats 2-3 hand picked over the hill fighters and then claims to be the greatest heavyweight that ever lived. I mean the fact that they wanna resurrect Stipe to fight this guy is laughable

Who else is there for Jones to fight? Stipe is first, then Blades, and the division needs to play out a bit
so you think dc cut all the way down to 205, which he hated, to be a good friend to cain? that’s crazy. if he could’ve beat cain he would’ve competed at hw like he always did. not made a massive cut that almost killed him.
Cain would get beaten into a living death. He’s an aggressive DC with worse wrestling and chin, slightly better hands and kicks, zero submission offense or defense, tested against a way less diverse group of fighters.

No, it’s not crazy. Cain was in the UFC first and was looked at as a future champ off the bat. DC was a good teamate.

This, Jones wasn’t a good teammate and he chose to challenge for the title when Joe Rogan presented and asked him into octagon, when it was obvious, Rashad was the go-to guy at the time. Just like Cain was the go-to guy at heavyweight at AKA ,DC could have fought him. But why risk losing a friendship when you can just cut weight and go down to a lower weight class and it worked out for him because Cain ended up falling off. I think any version of Jon Jones beats Cain.

Didn’t he fight the same guy for 3 years?

He only fought two different guys in 5 fights over the course of years.

No evidence of this whatsoever
Why do a bunch of people keep saying Cain’s chin was suspect?
Before he learned to tighten up his striking defense, he was dropped a couple times by Kongo, who was pretty scary at the time, but popped right back up and didn’t looked stunned or wobbly AT ALL.
He then caught a flush overhand from prime JDS, who, lets be real, could have knocked out a rhino.
I believe Cain gets the TKO over Jones.
Cain and DC had similar styles, except Cain was UBER aggressive and gave his opponents no room to breath or get set up.
I think Jones would get overwhelmed and finished by the second round

That “uber aggressiveness” would play right in to Jones hands.
I expect the fight to go the same as Jones vs DC 2 did, only It’s a quicker finish for Jones.

DC did pretty good in both fights, but he’s nowhere near as relentless as Cain was.
Cain wasn’t a brawler type of aggressive… Showed more of a tactical aggression that overwhelmed pretty much everyone he fought.
Prime Cain was a legit problem
