| I wanna see this fight for the belt after Cain beats Brock. I really feel he would just take dos santos down and finish him there why take the risk standing. This is what makes cain so good he has options stand and strike or take you down. | |

| The Kongo fight is still too recent to not give Junior a big edge in the striking dept vs Cain.
Is Cain making strides? sure. does his wrestling give him a tactical edge? yes(note that he enjoyed that edge vs Kongo). Does that mean we should rank Cain's striking amongst the best in the division? no. | |

| Well he was technically very sound on saturday. You should at least recognize that. I still think dos santos has better hands myself. Cain improves with every fight though and this makes him scary. | |

| like someone already said, the big question mark is dos santos' takedown defense and ground game. dos santos has not even face one legitimate wrestler in the ufc yet. the key for cain is his iron chin, which will allow him to take some shots before getting a takedown. | |
