Shogun vs. Hendo III
Just keep fighting him until he's old enough to get ktfo? Pretty dangerous game though as shogun also declined badly after those fights.
Shogun vs. Hendo III
Cain/Werdum. It's a meme but Werdum was at Mexico City more than a month in advance while Cain basically showed up the week of the fight. RDA/Alvarez.
Cain won the first round, buddeh.Doesn't really explain why he was getting his ass kicked in round one.
Yeah, next time around Jones might kill him.Does Jon Jones vs Hamill count?
GSP vs Hendricks
7080% Big Rig put up a good fight...who's to say a 100% Big Rig wouldn't have won
why do you have double yellow cards?lol at Aldo beating Conor
I called someone an “idiot”why do you have double yellow cards?
It is curious that I saw the opposite way.
Cain lost his biggest weapons which was constant pressure, Takedown and Ground'n'Pound.
Cain was afraid of following Werdum to the ground, so Werdum baited him repeatedly, but Cain remained standing.
That gave confidence to Werdum, and he started to beat the shit out of Cain. when Cain finally gave up his strategy (of not going to the ground), and reverted back to his instincts and he finally followed Werdum to the ground, and Werdum easily caught him with the choke. By the time they hit the ground, Werdum was already smiling.
I do concede about Cain arriving just days before the fight. But then again, it's not like Werdum hid the fact he would go so early to get acclimated to the high Altitude.
Cain is a professional. They made an informed decision. I mean, it's common knowledge that fighting at altitude air is more Rarefied. They should have known that and trained accordingly.
This is on them, so it should not be used as a valid excuse.But regardless of Gas tank, I just don't see how Cain could beat Werdum.
And it's not because I dislike Cain, but Werdum had the exact attributes to counter Cain.
With his 2nd degree BB in BJJ, Cain was right to fear the ground game of the man who just beat Fedor.
But add his Black belt in Judo and combine with Muay Thai (in which he is also a Black belt)... I don't think anyone could drop Werdum if he ever chose to stand... but the man loves the ground... with reason. I contend that he was beating Overeem, if he didn't fall to the ground every time AO raised his hand... That looked so stupid!!! He begging Overeem to go to the ground... IMHO he lost because of the appearance that AO was dropping him.
So it wasn't the altitude. That didn't help. But Cain lost because Werdum had all the answers.
hahaha yeah, I heard the rumors, but I don't think Cain would do that.Also add that like 60 seconds prior they told Cain no double legs, only single legs(bc of the choke) and we walked out and shot a double when he always grabs singles prior to this fight.
A few guys thought that was Cains way out, his way of valiantly(?) quitting.
