Fucking Cain.

Werdum by a sub in the first minute.

I'd say that "I called it", but everyone did.

Both Werdum and Hunt need to walk out to the PRIDE theme.

I like how Dana loves to talk shit about Floyd when even he fights more often than your average UFC champ.
also Werdum is going to walk through Hunt like nothing.

LOL at Cain. Dude never fights and people are claiming hes the best HW of all time. When he comes back he will need to be soaked in oil because he will be so rusty and possibly past his prime.
Terrible fight for Hunt though, but nice to see him so up the ladder. He's pretty much fought all the bangerz in the division as is.

lol what. Interim title? Guess we'll have to wait for more info on Cain's injury to find out if this will be one of those pointless interim belts that never gets defended and is just used as a glorified number one contender spot or if it's something more lasting. If it's the latter and the interim strap has to be defended by Werdum or Hunt then it turns into a clusterfuck because whilst they're both great guys like Junior and Overeem have beaten both of them and the odds of Cain's comeback fight being Cain/JDS 4 skyrocket.
Fuck it. Either guy becoming champ is great. Werdum will probably be more prepared but I don't think he's as bad a matchup for Hunt as some might believe, I think he'll struggle to get a takedown. PRIDEFC NEVER DIE.

if you can't fight, strip these champions of their titles. when they return, grant them an immediate title shot.
I bet half these injuries that champions get are regular injuries that every fighter deals with and continues on to fight with. as champions though, they have more to lose so any fucking little excuse to buy more time as a champion they'll take it.

cuz JDS would eventually lose to Cain again. if he didn't his liver will retire him sooner than later.

What the fuck are mma fighters doing in their training camps that cause them to get injured so often? Maybe they need to tone it down.

Wrestling. Killing the sport in more ways than one.
so he'll be a HUGE disappointment post-TUF then?
You know this sport is shit when super star money may defends the strap more frequently than peasant UFC champs.
Cain has fought 6 times in the last four years. Averages 1.5 fights per year. Dude is softer than baby's poop. How is he still the champ? Should have a rule for mandatory title defenses three times per year. I blame gsp and tuf for this crap.

I'll stick by my statement from last year. JDS was the only legit fighter Cain ever faced. In a three year period Cain fought three fighters, and too many people were willing to call him the HW GOAT for beating up old men and cans. Getting injured again means my opinion is unchanged, except he's now fought three fighters over the past four years.
Vio-Bod knows what's up. A champ should defend his belt three times a year. Heck, I'd even settle for two given how lazy the UFC has been with this. Look at Pettis, he beat Benson in August 2013 and his first title defense was scheduled six months after that for nine months after that. Absolute bullshit.
or JDS, whoever wins.
Cain is looking like a fighter who could go down as the greatest but will never have the output to prove it.

I think Cain is great but he just needs to fight. UFC wasted him by making him fight JDS a third time and Silva a 2nd time. Nobody needed those fights. UFC is going to have an entire generation of champs that nobody remembers because they never fucking fought.
lmao
Ninja Scooter hits it on the head. No one is going to remember champs averaging less than two fights a year. Even old Fedor fought more than that. Prime Fedor was fighting 4-5 times a year. You can argue about opponent quality all day long, but his legacy will be that the beat a lot of fighters. The new UFC isn't doing that.
I was hoping that Ronda Rousey could fight more. I'm sure she's had more difficult sparring matches than most of her fights. I still want the UFC to put her through a kumite over the entire Women's Bantamweight division.

Andy fought twice a year (IIRC three times before 2009).
And Demmy Johnson defends his belt as if every time he fights it'll add 1cm to his height.
Hard to stay focused with that boost mobile money coming in.
I just wished Jon Jones kept up with that pace. He had a fantastic 2011. He won the belt and defended it twice in one year - no one doubted that he was the best in the division at that point. Gus seems to be the only guy to ever given Jones any trouble at all, save for that brief moment where Vitor Belfort says he could have snapped his arm.
nobody cares about small men fights though

It's why you don't get excited about a fight featuring either Pettis, Cain, or Aldo.
