It's a shame JDS appeared to gas about 2/3's through the 1st round, after he got cracked by the one punch in the 1st he slowed down and started sucking wind...

I also didn't understand why he had his hands down and didn't seem to try to defend any of the strikes coming his way, I guess he wasn't overly worried about Cain's power and keeping his hands down to attempt to stop the takedowns..

I was bummed for JDS, guy is a nice guy, great champ, but as others have said, this sets up better fights in the HW division, and the future rubber-match once JDS wins a fight or two (depending on how Cain can do against Overeem)

2 questions I have about the fight.

1. Did anyone think the angle of Cain's head in the standup looked a little unusual. Seemed like it was tilted to the right.

2. Why did Junior put on extra muscle and change a winning formula? Was he worried about Cain's takedowns or bulking up for Overeem?

#2, I think he may have looked past cain a little, maybe not looked past but he was looking forward at Overeem, thats the only reason I can think of he would add size, and size is not what it is going to take to beat Overeem, a good fast hard right hand will probably be the key to solving Reem,,imo..
