I like how the Cain fans excuses are "he wasn't in shape".
Not the fact he was getting lit up on the feet and dove for a takedown in desperation.
Ridiculous. Everyone should watch the fight again. The first round was competitive but Werdum wore him out with Muay Thai and will do the same again unless goes in unmotivated or barring a fluke TKO.
Cain has no answer for Muay Thai. I expect him shoot for single legs this time and eventually get arm barred.
It's a different fight.
Werdum had months to acclimate himself to the elevation of Mexico City. Cain had 2 weeks.
Betting on Doom...again!
Cain's cardio is a myth, the guy gassed in the 2 JDS fights even when JDS was out on his feet and pretty much reduced to a human punching bag.
UFC hype machine did a good job selling "Cardio Cain"
Werdum had months to acclimate himself to the elevation of Mexico City. Cain had 2 weeks.
I will never understand why people complain about odds. If you feel Werdum is undervalued, bet on him. If you don't bet, why do you care about odds?
Excuses. Cain could have chosen to train in Mexico City but he didn't, that's on him.
Werdum landed virtually no knees with his Muay Thai clinch in the first round and every time he got an hold on Cain
Excuses. Cain could have chosen to train in Mexico City but he didn't, that's on him.
People need to rewatch the fight. Cain with a little better cardio would have defeated Werdum.
