When will Cain reclaim the title?

I'm sure the majority of people out there would agree that Cain will be UFC HW Champion again some day. Too young, too talented not to. But when? How many fights before he is called Champion again?

2 wins to a #1 contender fight. 3 wins minimum just to get another title shot.

Dana hates this dude because:

1. He broke his Brock toy.
2. He did not meet several distinct expectations in the FOX fight most had set for him.
3. He hates AKA.
4. He hates Zinkin Entertainment & Sports Management who represent Cain and several other AKA fighters.

Very good points. But Brock got an immediate #1 contender fight following his loss. Not just the one he is scheduled in now vs Reem but his original #1 contender fight vs JDS that he was forced out of. I know Brock is $ and PPV buys but Cain has the argument of a dominate win over Brock.
Also despite Dana's recent feelings about Cain, I think eventually that will settle down and Cain is still one of the bigger HW draws and a major part of the Hispanic following.
Also even though the SF guys are coming over the HW division is still not that deep. I don't see guys like Bigfoot or Werdum getting a shot before him. He should also still be considered higher on the list then Carwin. So that leaves Mir as the only person I could see getting a shot before him after the Reem-Lesnar winner.

That's Brock though.

Who you would you say is the 2nd biggest PPV draw at HW in the UFC? Didn't the UFC still want to do a show in Mexico? I'm sure Cain is going to be a big part in that. He holds dominating wins over Lesnar and Nog so who would get the shots before Cain? Those would be the big questions for me. Who else is a bigger draw? Who will get the nod before him?

nothing is a given. there is a possibility he wont.

You can give him Kongo who he will walk over and then a top fighter. Cain will get a title shot in 3 fights. If Cain just fights like he should he cannot be beat.

Big Nog will not fight JDS.

The HW Division is not like the other divisions, it has a hard time maintaining top tier talent throughout it's top 10. After the top 5, it slides badly, unlike the LW division or LHW division. You have JDS, Cain, Brock, Overratedreem, Carwin, Mir, Nelson...am I mising anyone who has a legit chance to hold the title? I can make arguments for the top 15 guys in the other 2 divisions, the same can't be said here. So I am guessing no more than 3-5 fights and remember guys, he is coming off a long layoff and surgery, JDS has stayed busy and sharp.

your missing cormierh and barnett

I forgot to add the never, I will now

Cain's definitely got the ability and talent to reclaim his title, but will his chin hold up ?

I say 3-5.
