How many times will Cain vs JDS fight?

If Cain smashes JDS again I think it will be a long, long time before they give JDS another shot.

If JDS managed another quick KO win over Cain, I think Cain would get another quick rematch.
 
As many as Dana can sell!

I'm thinking 4.
 
Iim guessing 5 times. I contend that they will be trading the belt back and forth for years to come.
 
At least 9 times.




If Cain beats JDS again, there's no point in them ever fighting again. I actually don't even want a rematch any time soon. Cain proved he was a better fighter and December, and only lost because he got caught
 
I say 4 times. If Cain wipes the floor with JDS again I think he gets placed in the Rich Franklin zone until someone else wins the belt.
 
I often wondered what would happen if two people utterly dominated their division to such a degree that no other fighters could get past them. Would they trade title fights in perpetuity?
 
Rewind 5 years. What was the heavyweight landscape like back then? Was it the same as it was now?

That alone pretty much dismantles the idea that they'll be fighting "for years to come" and be "above everybody else". The landscape will change, plain and simple.

Also, Overeem, Cormier can hang with them, and BF and Werdum are right there. Jones is moving up (within next two years).
 
for now, they look like the two best - but who knows what happens in a couple years

wouldnt be surprised to see them fight a few more times
 
If cain wins the next one, I think that'll be it. If jds wins, especially if it's by a quick knockout again, cain will work his way back up and they'll do it again.
 
As people said, once per year... They're ahead of their division.

Maybe Werdum or Cormier can be a threat to Cain, but I'm not sure.
 
i'd say 4. possibly 5th. I don't see them fighting each other outside title shots now. now that they've already fought in 2 i don't see it happening outside of the title.
 
Unless a controvercial 3rd the ufc will push the match making for them to not fight again. I think they should hold off on a third fight because of that too.
 
They will fight until Jones and Gus come up to HW. I think Cain and JDS will fight a few times but I ultimately see Jones being an impediment as well as Cormier.

I can stomach one more Cain and JDS fight, I dont think I can stomach more then that.

The HW division is in need of some elite talent real quick.
 
Given their age and determination to win I'd say possibly 4 times.
