Jones has no stopping power, Cain chews him up and spits him out.
True, but I think everyone is in agreement if DC could have kept that 2nd round pace all fight it would have been a war. Jones took over in the championship rounds where his cardio and heart persevered. And I think the subtle differences in DC and Cain's clinch game along with the body type difference could really be affective against Jones using the same strategy DC used last night of nonstop aggressiveness to close the distance and dogfight
Jones will be just as big against Cain if not more so with HW size.
As long as Jones keeps his cardio when he moves up Cain is toast.
Hell this thread is foolish until Cain starts fighting again.
I can't even remember the last time he fought someone.
Cain wins at HW, Jones wins at LHW. Why is the champ of LHW questioned about moving up - why isn't Cain questioned about moving down for challenges? The HWT division is threadbare as all hell.
At the post fight press conference Jones said he would take this fight in a heartbeat. If he beats Gus/Rumble and Cain beats Werdum, I think its feasible to do it that soon.
Does anyone think Jones wins after seeing how DC fought early, especially in rd2? Replace DC with Cain in that fight using the same strategy and Cain never wears down after the 3rd. Jones would get outworked and out muscled in the clinch against Cain with his cardio and aggressiveness.
I also think this would be the best fight ever.

Yeah they'd be the same size, but Jones was able to lean down on Cormier making him drag more of the weight in the clinch. Cain is same height as Jones so he won't be able to utilize this technique.
True it would be nice if Cain didn't get injured, but he'll be the reasonable favorite against Werdum and as long as he hasn't lost a step its hard to argue anyone at HW beats him
