@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!

I'm fine with that. I personally would have done Cain vs. Hunt/Struve winner but I can understand on them wanting to capitalize off Bigfoot beating Overeem. And they'll play up Cain killing Bigfoot as the same as JDS/Cain 1 how Cain lost quickly but won the rematch.

Hopefully they make it an all-HW card again (at least main card wise).

meh.... not at all interested in Cain - Bigfoot II

JDS vs Reem is interesting enough, but I always thought that JDS would take it.

Hee...hee...oh man! This is going to erase his wins over Fedor and Overeem. Then his confidence is going to be shot knowing his chances of ever becoming champion are quite slim. This will be the beginning of the end.

Personally I would prefer to see Werdum vs Velasquez but I know that Werdum is slated to fight Nogueira and hasn't really beat any top contenders in the UFC. But I will not complain about any heavyweight title fight. It may be interesting to see if Big Foot can come back and put on a better performance then he did the first time. I doubt that very seriously though, I expect Cain to again go right through him. There first fight may have very well been the most one sided fight in UFC history, this one I think might be slightly less one sided but still overall very one sided.

You can't go wrong at all with Dos Santos vs Overeem. Anyway I can picture this fight it ends with one of them getting knocked out. My prediction is that at some point Dos Santos will catch the Reem with a flurry of fists and finish him much like Big Foot managed to do.

Feels like Cain and Bigfoot just fought not that long ago in a one sided beating..kinda sucks ohwell.

I would have preferred Werdum..why not scrap the Big nog fight and put Werdum in the title fight? Nog wasn't due to fight till June anyway I believe, they probably haven't even started a serious training camp yet. Minus Overeem (which wasn't even a fight) Werdum has won 5 in a row, one of which was Bigfoot.

JDS Overeem on the other hand is awesome!

And if Bigfoot can get a fight with Cain after a onesided beating..maybe Vitor should get a second shot at Silva too, although fair enough Silva is old and might not have many fights left so I can kinda understand that.

If Overeem loses to JDS with anything other than a decision, the guy's stock is going to drop dramatically. There's no fluke TKO loss to JDS or any reason he should get cocky in this bout. This is a heartbreaking match for me though, since I'm a big fan of both.

I guess we can now hear about the nasty cut which made it impossible for Bigfoot to fight the first time against Cain. Next match will be five rounds of punishment. There is no waiting for Cain to gas just like he did with Ovreem....this match will be totally different.
At least Overeem and JDS will be fireworks. I wonder how JDS will react to the Overeem clinch. If he can survive the clinch for the first 3-4 minutes he will knock out Overeem any way he wants.

Dos Santos will stay away from the clinch with jabs. Overeem doesn't bullrush his opponents, so Dos Santos shouldn't have problems to stay away from danger.

JDS beats everyone in the world as long as his wife doesn't surprise him with divorce papers two days before a fight again.

I see JDS vs. Reem actually looking like Gonzaga vs JDS. Reem blocking high while landing 1-2 leg kicks. JDS checks a kick and lands a huge straight and finishes via TKO.


Ps to whoever I had a JDS/Cain sigbet with please PM me, had surgery on my leg and i've been off the forum about a month. Thanks! :thumb01:

How the hell are they going to promote Bigfoot vs Cain II? The first fight was one of the worst one sided beatings in UFC history. The only way I can see them hyping this fight is by saying Bigfoot couldn't fight properly because of the blood.

Hey remember the good old days when Chris Weidman and his undefeated record and win over Mark Munoz made him "unworthy" and "unproven" of a title shot. Gosh, those were the days the days before some guy named Morgana of whatever who opened two UFC events got a title shot when fighters like Pettis and Melendez men who didn't win fights in the UFC or the division got title shots. When a guy coming off a year long suspension and a loss got a title shot and another man who lost eight times against less than steller competition yet he was also granted a title shot.

and now a man who almost died at the hands of the champion...he too gets a title shot.

Chris Weidman going from the less deserving to most deserving off the title contenders.

I think people are throwing Overeem out of the picture a bit too early.

He was quite easily defeating Bigfoot the first two rounds, more than once he tossed Bigfoot out of the way/down like a child, he didn't even look like he was trying in that fight. He got really cocky and paid for it, but I highly doubt he will do the same against JDS.

Overeem can definitely beat JDS if he plays it smart and is in top form.

With that said, Cain is going to destroy Bigfootagain, and even though Overeem CAN beat JDS, I think JDS will pull it out.

But Silva is slow, has not a good striking technique and stood right in front of Overeem, that's something Dos Santos is not and won't do. Before the Silva fight, I thought Overeem could have a reasonable good chance to beat Dos Santos with his kickboxing, but after the first round I thought otherwise and gave Overeem a much much smaller chance to win against Dos Santos (he was cocky and dominant, but still couldn't really hurt Silva)

I love the Overeem fight, but it will be sad to see either fighter lose. Overeem hopefully learned not to be cocky and unprepared, and if he brings his best self to fight JDS it should be fireworks.
Silva-Cain makes sense because it's only fair that Bigfoot gets the same treatment that Cain got in his reclamation of the title, but realistically Bigfoot is going to get murdered so it doesn't really interest me as a fight.
