@maggiehendricks @arielhelwani @benfowlkesMMA Dana confirms Bigfoot v Cain and JDS v AO at ufc 160 at trinity college
Just announced by Dana at the Trinity College in Dublin. Bigfoot is definitely not ready for another Cain mauling. Excited for JDS vs Reem though!

...Maybe this time Cain will break his hand on that behemoth's gigantic dome like Cormier did. Cain will brutally slaughter Bigfoot again. Silva had better be doing some serious training off his back cause Cain will certainly put him there. Antonio may defend a little better than last time but Cain's sick, bad intentions pace will be non-stop. I think Silva will eventually fold and turtle up from the relentless pounding. Cain will hand Silva another nasty TKO again. Overeem & JDS is still very interesting because both coming off brutal, ego-busting beatdowns. They both will have something to prove. Bet the house Reem keeps his hands up this time. Very interesting to see who bounces back to impressive form after suffering vicious losses....

JDS vs Reem - Woohoo!

Cain vs Bigfoot 2 - The hell :confused02:?

Cain vs Werdum made far more sense.

Obviously Cain mauls Bigfoot again, and ordinarily I would have picked JDS to smash overroid. With his recent divorce and all though I don't know what state JDS is going to be in, so on the fence with that. Still hope he smashes him.

Argh I wish Overeem had an easier opponent just so he could get a win in the UFC. JDS hands are so fast and he punches so hard... that if Bigfoot was able to catch Overeem... I think JDS could do it even faster.

Overeem is like Brock... he's fine once he's causing the damage... but once he gets punched... he covers up and cries. :(

This kind of bums me out because it essentially means that the winner of JDS/Reem (which as ive always said, is going to be JDS by an incredible ass kicking) is going to get a title shot. I was really hoping to see Cain fight someone new instead of running through the rematch train.

I don't care how amazing anyone thinks Cain is, he's a brawler. He took Bigfoot out impressively but he has a style where he could fight a guy 10 times and every fight will be quite different.

Obviously I'll pick Cain to win, but don't count on it being a repeat of the first fight... Especially with what Silva knows now and the patience he showed against Reem. He unleashes those giant fists at the right time and Cain will get hurt.

I've always had JDS beating Reem and still do. I think JDS will get back to the top, he really didn't seemed bothered at the end of his last fight. Something about his wife filed for divorce two days before the fight? I didn't know that, either way that fight was proof he's a true warrior and I have no doubt he'll rule the division again, long as he's focused.

I love it. JDS vs. Overeem gives me goosebumps just thinking of all the leather that they are going to be slinging. I'm with the majority on Cain vs. Bigfoot. That was a major league beatdown, no flash ko. Sure the cut might have been a bit of a factor but it was such a one-sided beating that I can't see the result being much different (could be worse for Bigfoot).

JDS vs. Overeem reminds me of the big Heavyweight fights in boxing. Somebody is going down, its not going to the judges for sure.

I'm excited to see JDS stomp Alistair Overrated. Kinda shocked that Bigfoot got the title shot already. I thought He would have had to fight again. I would have pitted JDS vs Silva and give the winner the shot.

They don't want to do JDS v Cain III yet, it's much too soon.

This is a shame. I don't like none of these guys. But out of all of them, Cain is the best. I wish Brock Lesnar would come back pre op and destroy them all because he was good before surgery. I think Cain beats BigFoot again and Overeem beats JDS if he goes into the fight not being arrogrant.

It's just a formality, really. I'm sure Cain wants to fight more than once in 2013, and feeding him Big Foot keeps him busy. Waiting around for the winner of Fabricio vs. Big Nog would see him sitting on the sidelines for much too long.

Besides... whether it's a completely different fight or the same epic beating, it's bound to be entertaining.

...Make no mistake about it, Reem blew off Bigfoot, brutally paid for it and now put himself in an even tougher matchup with JDS. Overeem knows it's all on the line now. If JDS puts Overeem to sleep, it's back to square one. Overeem now has no choice but to walk the walk with his back against the wall. Let's see what he can do to the man with the best hands in the UFC HW division. Final thought: I doubt Junior will be looking for any takedown early, if Reem can fire off a bunch of kicks, expect brutality. Certainly a don't blink fight...

OMG, guys please leave Brock Lesnar alone, the man has already retired two years ago.

UFC 160 is about Velasquez, Siva, Dos Santos & Overeem.

I am going to go with Cain Velasquez on Velasquez vs Sila 2. I just don't see Silva putting any spice behind his technique. He was losing against Overeem as well.

Overeem vs Dos Santos is the attraction and here is what I have to say, although people are making Overeem a huge under dog in the fight I would find it interesting to see Overeem win for numerous reasons. #1 Losing this fight will pretty much end his UFC career. #2 Winning will give him a title shot and nobody wants to see a Dos Santos vs Velasquez 3 so soon. #3. Overeem vs Velasquez is going to be a hot match, though not as hot has Dos Santos vs Overeem but still on par with it. Besides, Overeem has a good chance against Velasquez. Since heavyweight div is stacked with only two super talents I think a change by third person can refresh and make things interesting for the entire UFC hw div.


Keys to victory:-

Dos Santos:- Finding good range

Overeem:- Don't get in a brawl, move a lot and use a lot of leg kicks and knees to the body.
