He is made of glass.. worst than Luke's chin.
His most dominating fight was his loss to Werdum.Unfortunately he had potential, but never fully came to realize them. Personally I think he is rather iverrated, as actual accomplishments should always outweigh what COULD have been.
Why is he mentioned in the same category as fedor here, or even mentioned in the same sentence?
He is a rich man's Erik Silva mixed with Darren Anderton from his spurs days. He's as relevant as Hilary Clinton.
Why such level of shenanigans?
Because he's the GOAT HW that looked great in his last fight and is still planning on returning.
He avenged his loss to JDS and would've probably avenged his only other loss to Werdum if he didn't get injured.
He's the male Cat Zingano, only he actually won a belt. He shined brightly in his 15 minutes.
People rate him based on his potential rather than his accomplishments
Extremely sad, I hate to see an athlete fail to realize his true potential base on circumstances beyond his control. But you're right, he simply didn't do enough in the time he was relevant.
Fingers crossed that he'll get his chance again, but in combat sports, it usually doesn't work that way

I'm not getting into your core argument of Fedor vs. Cain, but was Pride at it's peak bigger than the UFC is now?Pride was bigger than the UFC - So Pride Champ > UFC Champ + Fedor was Lineal UFC Champ and he was a greater UFC Champ than all the other UFC Champs . Fedor - UFC lineal HW champ - 19 Title defenses - Title reign - 6 years , 7 months , 22 days . http://www.fightmatrix.com/lineal-championship-histories/heavyweights/
Werdum dominated him from the opening bell
Live attendance goes to Pride - PPV's go to UFC . Total $ earned by each company - I dont know but will look . https://www.tapology.com/search/mma-event-figures/total-attendanceI'm not getting into your core argument of Fedor vs. Cain, but was Pride at it's peak bigger than the UFC is now?
It doesn't look like Pride had the event frequency the UFC has at it's peak? I wonder how much that influences attendance in terms of per event. This might be tough.Live attendance goes to Pride - PPV's go to UFC . Total $ earned by each company - I dont know but will look . https://www.tapology.com/search/mma-event-figures/total-attendance

Yeah , Pride stacked their cards and the UFC doesnt . I also wonder how much the UFC's PPV's affect their live attendance . And the technology to provide PPV's is much better now than in the 2000's . Geez its really hard to compare these things .It doesn't look like Pride had the event frequency the UFC has at it's peak? I wonder how much that influences attendance in terms of per event.

I'm still mad at Cain for the altitude oversight and the unsafe training camps.
