How injuried he really was in the first fight and more importantly if both are healthy would a third fight look the same?
Im not trying to take anything away from JDS but after the first fight all I hear from JDS fans was that Cain wasnt any good and even if he was healthy JDS would have still knocked him out and Last night proved that isnt the case. I wanna see how JDS comes back from that beating, I hope good. I want a third fight however I do wanna see Overreem vs JDS first.
I think a lot of it was the gameplan, he was waiting on JDS in the first fight with a "we'll see what happens" type gameplan, he should have been trying to implement his gameplan like he did last night and not worry about what JDS is doing. Cain has never been the type of guy who "reacts", he acts. In the first fight he waited too long and paid for it. Just standing in front of JDS for even a minute, is too long.
JDS fought with a torn meniscus. He had surgery after the fight, lets be objective and state things as they really were and not go into Joe Rogan mode and claim Cain only lost because he fought injured.
One of those situations where everything on sherdog is too black and white. This fight showed how much Cain was affected in the first fight. This doesn't mean JDS didn't earn the win and didn't knock him out. But if you watched last night and don't see he was a different fighter than either you're a liar, or I feel very sorry for you.
