How great is Cain? (Really)

[Sgt Smith]

Cain burst upon the scene like an inflamed bursae sac.

Cain is an all time great. People point to his inactivity and the fact that he's only faced a handful of opponents in the last 5 years without recognizing that there was nobody else with the resume to challenge him at the time.

With regard to his resume he is a victim of circumstance. But anybody who knows anything knows that he's a destroyer.

There were some good fights that were never made. Arlovski, Overeem.....Cain's lucky they never fed him to Carwin.

On his best day, he probably beats any HW out there. Trouble is his only had less than a handful of those in his entire career. He has ruined his chance of being a HW GOAT, his style of fighting does not favour an aging heavyweight.

great fighter average resume all thing s considered

Was on track to arguably be the greatest HW of all time.
He still has the potential to be that -- just needs to stay healthy.
He's the greatest UFC HW imo.
