Someone brought this up in one of my threads and I thought it was a great idea.
Cain's fought most everyone that mattered at HW and beaten them. And no one wants to see Cain vs. JDS or Cain vs. Bigfoot for the 100th time. And if DC loses to Jones like I think he will it would be a similar situation that JDS has at HW where DC can beat everyone at LHW except the champ.
So, if Cain somehow loses to Werdum (I honestly think that Werdum's best chance is hurting Cain standing and finishing him then a submission since I think Cain's wrestling is enough to negate Werdum's BJJ.) then rather then see Cain get an immediate rematch title shot (so tired of these), Cain could move to LHW and make a run for the title where he would most certainly make it to a championship super fight with Jones. Sadly, I do see Cain quickly finishing Werdum before the end of the 2nd round, so this might all be a moot point.
It makes a lot of sense because Cain would get a whole new slew of never before fought opponents and DC could take on a few new fights and fight Werdum. Also, with Cain's penchant for injuries he wouldn't be holding up the entire HW division anymore. Hell, even in a win against Werdum he'll probably get injured and be out a minimum 6 months.
Would you like to Cain move to LHW and DC move back to HW if DC loses to Jones and Cain loses to Werdum?
