    My buddy is in vegas tonight, I told him Werdum was a live dog and he should bet on him.

    and He did!

    This is probably gonna end up being like the first JDS fight, not sure Werdum will be there when Cain works his way back up though JDS might beat him.

    Does open up more fights in the division now but Arlovski probably just lost his title shot as the JDS rematch is more intriguing.

    This is a good thing IMO. Hopefully I'm not jinxing anything, but now we will finally have an active heavyweight champ

    d--- can't believe Cain got f----- up like that... that's twice now he's lost his belt. He'll be back though like last time, as a monster. I feel bad for his next opponent

    The Cain apologists are coming out in droves on this one.
    He apologized to his fans for the loss. That's all that I remember.

    Ended up in the green on DK tonight for the second straight week(got wrecked on the Condit/Alves card though).

    Two good line ups i had were

    Case
    Escudero
    Gil
    Cain
    Werdum

    and

    Case
    Cejudo
    Gil
    Escudero
    Werdum

    Would have been nice if Gil got the nod. Had Patrick Williams in most of my line ups but ended up squeezing him out and putting fucken Montano in, also went heavy on Rosa and took Rodriguez out of a couple.

    ^dont be surprised if Jones makes some type off taste comment about Cain on twitter or instagram and then deletes it 5 mins later.

    Ya id be shocked if he wasnt back fighting for the belt after a couple of wins. Hes not gonna want to go out looking as awful as he did tonight. All props to Werdum but the Cain from the last couple JDS fights AKA terminator Cain i wouldnt pick against and thats probably why he was a 5/1 favorite or w/e he was.

    I think Cain should fight Stipe Miocic now, and Arlovski should get the next title shot against Werdum. In the mean time JDS should fight Rothwell, Travis Browne or Josh Barnett

    Mitrione has been calling out Browne on twitter, that fight should happen and if it doenst i wouldnt mind either of them against Hunt. Barnett is fighting Roy Nelson in Japan at the end of September.

    JDS should fight someone coming off a win. He already wrecked Werdum, while Arlovski beat Werdum in fairly boring fashion so i think the JDS rematch might be more appealing. If JDS doesnt get the shot im down with the Rothwell fight or Overeem.

    Cain already put a beatdown on Rothwell although it was years ago so that probably rules him out for his return but id be down to see him fight Overeem or Stipe.

    Theres not a whole lot of options for Cain that wouldnt be total squash matches. Hes just taken a ton of time off so i dont know if he would wait for like Barnatt/Roy winner. Also dont want to see him against Hunt because it would be Hunt/Stipe 2.0, Mir/Duffee winner would make sense i guess.

    wow

    delighted for werdum, so slick on the ground

    that long layoff and altitude definitely had its effect on cain

    the heavyweight division has a few new interesting fights now

    also although i thought pendred won, he has to be on the luckiest few fight win streak ive ever seen

    he needs substantial work on his striking

    wont be long before he comes up against someone who that grinding style wont work against
