Cain vs. Stipe, who wins?

[KORMAN]

The fights inevitable, and seems like it's the plausible next match up, whoever wins between Overeem and Stipe, which I think Stipe wins. Who ya got?

I think Cain's pressure, and aggression will be the difference. Yes, Stipe has sharper hands, but Cain is the harder hitter, IMO, and his pressure style is gonna suffocate Stipe. To me, Stipe is the imitation Cain, and he can't keep up the same pace as Cain, over a 5 round fight. Also, I think Cain has the better wrestling, and has more of that dog in him.

Yeah, Stipe's game has come around, and he's put it all together, but no version of Cain would ever lose to Stefan Struve. I just think Cain's has too much horse power for him, and while Stipe is the more athletic guy, Cain is the realer fighter.

Before tonight, I did favor Stipe, because I thought Cain was never gonna be the same again since his injuries, but man, he's back for real, and the altitude was the main factor in why he lost to Werdum, plus he was coming fresh off a 4 year layoff, and injuries. Now he has that cage rust off, and he's back for blood. I'm beyond happy that Cain is the same monster as before, and even has more tricks in his bag, which ain't fair for the division.

Really, I want to see a Cain/Werdum rematch, just so I can confirm that Cain whoops his ass when everything's equal, and Werdum isn't on Cain's level, at all. I wanna see Cain beat the shit out of Werdum more than him fighting for the belt, atm.

Id be rooting heavy for stipe, but im thinking cain beats him.

 

[llamabob]

Hard to say. I never really thought much of Browne on an opinion level, and he just looked lost and outmatched from the very beginning. Considering the match up, I give the ground game to Cain and the stand up to Miocic, but it's an awesome match up. Paper skills just don't always translate to the octagon.

 

[arizonadallasdynasty]

My money is on Stipe.

 

[elfeliz]

I would like to see Cain redeem himself against Werdum first

 

[PlayboyMixx]

Cain's striking always works well against guys that are concerned about his takedowns. I don't think Stipe will be as concerned as most and will win the stand up.

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

I would go with Stipe. Too fast for Cain, and too good in the striking and accurate... and his TDD is amazing.. one of the best in UFC.

 

[LeoCarmine]

I have Stipe by KO.

Cain

 

[Rondas Pillow]

Well if Cain wins, then the fans lose. The guy should never get another title shot. Let him show up for like 4 or 5 fights and then consider giving him a shot.

 

[BJJ Owens]

If Cain comes into the fight like he did tonight with great head movement and Cains boxing has improved, it will be a tough fight for stipe

 

[TUFNewb]

sea level Cain of old

 

[FedorRoks]

I'm going with Stipe.

Cain is almost 34 years old and he's always been prone to taking heavy punches.

Stipe is an excellent puncher.

 

[Zimo]

Fedor

 

[Agmkreptile]

Cain has to beat the injury bug first before going anywhere NEAR Stipe.

 

[Giblert2015]

Werdum is still a bad matchup for Cain.
Browne is also just a can. Stil glad Cain whooped him.

 

[CJohnny]

I'm going with Stipe.

Cain is almost 34 years old and he's always been prone to taking heavy punches.

Stipe is an excellent puncher.

Miocic is 34.

 

[FedorRoks]

Miocic is 34.

True. But he doesn't seem to have the mileage on him Cain does. I don't think he's had the kind of injury history Cain has had.

 

[CJohnny]

I would like Cain vs Reem more.

But that's a good fight too. Cain by cardio and speed.

IF stipe beats overeem (which is a big "if"), then cain will beat stipe.
