“He was better and deserved the win,” said JDS. “But I used the wrong strategy. I was too worried about his takedowns and didn’t protect my face, so he hit me. When the fight was on the ground, I should have used my jiu-jitsu more – I trained it so much. But I just tried to get back up and it didn’t help me. But on the ground he is very good, very strong. I didn’t really connect with any good punches. It was disappointing, because I was feeling good, had an awesome training camp, everything was right. But that’s how fighting is … I want (a rubbermatch) now, soon. I won the first one and he got a rematch. Now I lost and I want my rematch. I’m saying I want this fight. I’ll get my belt back.”
the rest of the interview can be found Here, but it is in Portugese.

...I think in fairness JDS should take the route Cain had to take. Junior should face the winner of Reem vs. Bigfoot- and win in stunning fashion before getting Cain again. This Trilogy is going to fast. I hope there's some time before the rubbermatch...


...Anywho-- UFC 158 is shaping up to be the card of 2013 already! HUGE implications in the WW Division. Sick fights lined up so far. GSP vs.Diaz. Condit vs. MacDonald. Hendricks vs. Ellenberger. I hope all 6 stay healthy!...

Cain got his rematch with one convincing win, Junior should ge the exact same chance.

What we've learned from these two fight. Junior can KO Cain with one punch... and Cain can stick to Junior for 25 minutes and still not finish him. Junior is owed his rematch sooner than later.

@Brian, suck it up and just take the loss man. Dos Santos got battered for five rounds, completely and utterly destroyed. Tired of seeing people who were guaranteeing a JDS victory before the fight happened trying to come up with ways to discredit Cains performance in any way they can - i.e - Cain couldn't finish Junior, Cain was wall n stalling and landing pitter patter punches.....



Some real pitter pattering there.

Well first of all, I never guaranteed anything. Secondly, I'm tired of people attacking one fighter for having a "safe" strategy and then condemning others for fighting the same way. GSP gets all kind of crap for a bunch of his victories... yet Cain does pretty much the same exact thing and he's a genius with a brilliant gameplan. Nope, I can't get behind that.

Junior with one extra win doesn't qualify him over Werdum and Overeem if they win their next fights.

Cain only got the shot cos there was nobody else in the title picture. The same can't be said for the current HW scene.
It is hard to argue with that, and I'm an even bigger Overeem fan than I am JDS fan... so no complaints here.

Whilst I agree he doesnt deserve a rematch, neither did Cain, so on that basis JDS should be given the chance again.

How many people really saw the rematch going like that, not many, so to me a 3rd bout is a more interesting idea than the 2nd fight ever looked like it was going to be... until it actually happened.

Will Cain dominate JDS for another 5 rounds? Will JDS catch him and get an early KO? Who knows but I for one would love to see another fight.

A lot of controversy about this "safe mode" from Cain.

I am a fan of both guys and although I was rooting for Junior, there's no doubt Cain did beat him up pretty soundly. While obviously he could not finish JDS, Cain is definitely a remarkable finisher and in no moment I could say he was merely cruising in this fight. He could very well cruise and still get the undisputed victory by good margin of points, but he did not cruise at all. He continued to TD and to deliver hard punches to JDS.

There's a difference between "playing safe" and adapting the strategy according to many factors which, only in the fight, you will be able to deal with and this is considered fighting IQ. As GR said, JDS did that against Carwin and I remember, although JDS is also a finisher, he could not finish Roy Nelson as well and during the fight he did realise that and adjusted the pace to save gas, while still delivering bombs. No demerit on that strategy, IMO.

Everybody wants to finish a fight and when we are speaking about two entertaining finishers like Cain and JDS, the fact they eventually cannot finish some opponents could very well be an indication of the toughness of these opponents, rather than the winners playing safe.

In your opinion do you think Cain would be afraid of Werdums guard? Cain Kos him if the fight stays on the feet I reckon. Werdums striking hasn't improved as much as some people like to make out. i think Cain would be fairly comfortable in top position as well. He would just have to reeeeeeeeeeeeallly careful. :)

It's not that I particularly think Werdum would win. Its just Overeem... I just dont see it being anything other Overeem losing heart in the first 2 minutes.

Plus, there's the romance of it. Fedor had excellent discipline and top control as well, and he got caught in Werdums guard. Overeem stayed well away. I dunno. I just want to see Cain in the guard of a proper BBJ dude... not fecking big foot and his clumsy shit.
