Anyone else surprised Silva didnt call out Cain?

[R0bert0Lu0ng0**]

Please tell me you are joking. Cains GnP is probably the best in the UFC.

no, its not.

and its 100x easier to get in good gnp against slow heavyweights, compared to guys in lower weightclasses

Cain beats up Anderson.

 

[Toxxus]

Cain clearly kicked the ass of JDS, but lets not forget he missed 67% of his takedowns and looked rather stupid the first couple of minutes chaining failed takedown after failed takedown.

Only when JDS gassed from the relentless pace did Cain start landing takedowns and punishing strikes.

I think Anderson would have a punchers chance, but if I were betting money it'd be on Cain just from the size difference and Cain's high pressure wrestling attack.

 

[R0bert0Lu0ng0**]

Anderson is taller than Cain, he has more reach too... his cardio is much better than the average HW maybe just as good as Cain

 

[The Soothsayer]

This person's trolling multiple threads.

By his/her logic (and oh my am I using that term loosely right there) a flyweight is Cain's kryptonite.

 

[EvoTheGamer]

cains gnp is overrated as hell

No you don't have to say more. Your post is blasphemous

if the flyweight walks around at around 220, and is much more skilled than cain, sure.

Please tell me you are joking. Cains GnP is probably the best in the UFC. Go look at all his fights. He destroys everyone that he takes down. The face of JDS after the fight proves it. No one has ever done that to him. Big Foot, Nog, Rothwell, Lesnar, etc. The list continues to grow. Overeem is next.

Good points made.

if cain almost got koed by kongo, then.. well.. need i say more?

cains gnp is overrated as hell, his tds didnt look good at all against jds either

Well Cain has improved since then, also let's consider Dos Santos was defending those takedowns Anderson wouldn't stop that many.

 

[R0bert0Lu0ng0**]

behold, the amazing striking defence of cain against the guy who got outstruck by mir

take into account that anderson controls the distance WAY better than junior

 

[FedorandBjpenn]

anderson could completely nullify and outclass cain imo

cain is chubby at 240 lbs, and i forgot how much anderson walks around at

the strength advantage wouldnt be that much

Anderson Silva would get absolutely, totally, and utterly destroyed by Cain. It wouldnt even be close. He would get grapple fucked, ground and pounded and destroyed.

Your gifs above don't prove that much, that was years ago Cain is clearly much better now. It's like saying Cain would outstrike Anderson because Chael did, with the threat of the takedown that's possible actually.

I agree Anderson is a better striker than Dos Santos, but Dos Santos is bigger stronger and has better tdd.

 

[The Soothsayer]

So basically you're saying Anderson can be the HW champion of the world anytime he wants?

thats the sherdog predictions whenever someone from a lower weight class fights someone from a higher weightclass.

and jon jones wouldnt be a top 5 heavyweight right?

cains head movement is still cringe worthy, but i understand how some people would think cain would take down anderson and gnp him.

yeah hes the goat

he could also take the ww championship assuming the cut goes well

Cain molested Kongo in that fight.

But maybe if Cain morphed into Takase he'd have more of a chance.

So why doesn't Anderson take the HW belt, then?

 

[R0bert0Lu0ng0**]

So why doesn't Anderson take the HW belt, then?

for the same reason he doesnt move up to lhw... he has teammates in that division

youre not very bright are ya?

Anderson and Cain are two weight divisions apart. Jones would more likely be a top 5 heavyweight.

cains head movement is still cringe worthy, but i understand how some people would think cain would take down anderson and gnp him.

Anderson is a much better striker yes but Cain has improved. He could stand long enough to get the takedown and use gnp.
