The myth that Cain gassed against Werdum

[Chitaouri]

i just rewatched the fight..

Cain was in great shape, he put it on Werdum for the first 7 minutes..
joe rogan tricked everybody into believing the reason Cain lost was because he gassed but really it was Werdums accurate power strikes that hurt Cain badly. uppercuts, hooks, jabs, knees ..he hit him hard with everything while being hit a lot himself. Fabricio simply wanted it more that night and showed great heart. Both were in great shape. Fabricio got in the better strikes and the harder strikes and cain crumbled. he was rattled.
thats just the observable truth.

 

[Power!]

I remember someone here once made the argument that it was the clinch that wore Cain out, something about the MT clinch pressuring wrestlers in a way they're not used to which gasses them out.

 

[Power!]

Nah he looked noticeably sloppier and was breathing a lot harder than normal.

Compare his output in that fight to the last two JDS fights, and you'll see that Sea Level Cain is a real thing.

Granted, it's his own damn fault that he didn't acclimate to the altitude earlier, but it is true that his cardio was compromised by that.

No. Just, no.

He was so clearly gassed

Taking nothing away from werdum

 

[PEDS Help me Post]

Yeah, he gassed from being punched in the face.

Same as McGregor vs Nate I.


Using cardio as an excuse for Cardio Cain losing is actually pretty hilarious.

One of the biggest flukes of all time. Why do you think that Werdum has been avoiding a rematch at normal altitude.

yeah, because he was hurt. badly. look at the end of the fight, Cain is still kinda pressing the action. Bt he was hurt enough to fall into werdums guillotine trap.

Wtf I'm a Cain fan but that is simply not true. Cain pulled out of their scheduled sea level rematch at UFC 207....

Prime Arnold was no joke!

Why do you think Cain has been avoiding fighting anybody at all?

Being punched in the face is not good for the gas tank.

Avoiding a rematch? Lmao Cain hasn’t been active to fight anybody.

Speaking of "observable truth" TS seems to have a "the earth is flat" YouTube video link at the bottom of his profile.

Cain did the same to JDS and didn't gas. I can't take this post seriously.
