JDS, again.

[RearNaked]

Junior takes this the exact same way as last time. First round KO.

Tan pride!

JDS has brilliant TD defense and its amazing because he makes opponents fight his fight. Nobody in the HW can match him in boxing, in striking Hunt and Overeem could match him.
Cain can win if he takes JDS out of his comfort zone in striking. Im sure Cain can get him down but probably not for long. When JDS gets back up Cain should feint shooting on him and surpise JDS by throwing strikes on the inside. If he mixes his attack and brings the pressure then Cain has an equal chance of winning. He cannot be predictable by using only wrestling.

Good luck avoiding that right hand from JDS for 25 minutes.

Part of me almost wants JDS to win so he will have to defend against Overeeem. This will be a good fight, if there is a quick knock out it wll be like last fight; barring that Cain will gain the win. A Cain Overeeem fight will be entertaining but so far no trash has been exchanged so less anticipation; the other hand with JDS Overeem has had a good amount of trash talking and I guess you could say that it has my interest up. Saturday night looks like a good night to be a couch potato.

JDS will win don't worry.

[BOOM]

Cain will be the HW champ again.

[HadouKEN]

In my opinion there was some KEY mistakes that Cain made in the first fight:

-Cain is wrestler, turned Boxer, and like a lot of these guys the end up trying to prove a point that they can go toe with a guy who specializes in Stand up. In Dos Santo's Case, Boxing.
Cain is a good boxer too don't get me wrong, but he took a hard overhand shot to the top of the dome and ended up on the ground and those shots to ear finished him. In my experience (fighting in the gym and on the street) those shots to the ear no matter how well prepared you are will REALLY HURT you. So what Cain did wrong was that he circled left.

What Cain should have done was block the overhand right and go for the take down right after.

If Cain wants to set the pace in the fight then he has to take a risk and go for the take down as many others in this thread have stated. He really needs to make Dos Santos work if he gets him down also.

I'm really intrigued for this fight because I want to see (if taken down) can Junior Dos Santos get passed the Boxing and make it more of a Wrestling match.

It's gonna come down to being Cain being a little more careful, being aggressive and controlling the wrestling of the fight.

If Dos Santos wants to win he's gonna have use his jab and keep distance and use that uppercut if Cain shoots in.

I'm gonna be safe and pick Dos Santos, but I would not be shocked to see Cain put Dos Santos on his back and win by TKO in the second round. But to be safe I'm gonna say Dos Santos wins.

DAMMMMNNNN! I saw a video of him working out saying he was gonna focus on his strength I guess he wasn't lying. Cain definitely better take this dude to the ground, one punch from Dos Santos looking like that and it's a wrap!
