Cain can't take a punch, that much is obvious.

He got hit behind his ear. No one can take a punch like that. I watch more boxing than MMA but I was surprised to see a guy leave himself so exposed. Especially a top fighter...

Dana did it wrong. He should have done Machado v Silva so we could have spent 15 solid minutes watching them avoid each other.

Heavyweights was a risky proposition that he lost.

will gently cradle you as time slowly ticks away.
So three Brazilian champions, three American champions and one Canadian.

Better book a couple more Brazilian events Dana.

Cain's stand up has always been overrated.

He tried to pull a Shogun-Machida 1 by leg kicking JDS but got KTFO.

Pretty much.

Fedor took that punch by Fujita back in the day. Fedor did the fish-dance, Fujita held back, and Fedor clinched long enough to recover and put Fujita away.

GSP took that punch, did the fish-dance, and Serra kept the pressure on and finished him.

Same thing happened here tonight for Cain.

Temple shots fuck you up, and it is a rare thing to be able to recover from such a shot.

Because the idea of selling commercial space for these UFC fights will be hard especially if there is a chance of a 1 minute fight.

You probably had people tune in once the fight started, watched the whole minute and went to watch something else.

They would have to do a nice 2 hour card full of matches to make this work.

I get where you are coming from. It makes sense, but it is not the worst outcome. There is a reason why knockouts, subs, and slugfests sell and keep people coming back. Outside of this not a lot of people can appreciate the nuances of a ground game or the back and forth, so it would be less palatable imo.

Either way it would be nice to have a build up to the main event on the channel that has the main event. 2 hours worth of fights would be great.

my friend is on the a/v team for this event and just texted a bunch of us that "Dana has been vocally murdering the ref for ending the fight to soon"

Classy, what a asshole Dana White is.

Yep not many fighters in the world can take that sort of punch and continue. Pretty much fucks up your equilibrium and you lose all sense of balance.

I got kneed in the temple once and I couldn't stand up straight for hours.

Glancing blow? He hit him right on the temple/ear. That is pretty much the worst place to get hit if you want to stay conscious.

no, thats the temple/chin.

i understand it will affect his equilibrium and knock him down...but he didn't seem to have any survival instincts or at least try any defense maneouvres and just lay there taking punches.

First Roger Huerta and now Cain... Dana continues to be letdown by his primetime-Hispanic fighters.

Had his dog run over by Blizzard's CEO
Did none of you see Kongo drop him three times? JDS was the first striker he fought since then.

Cain was literally face-planted on the ground; what does he expect the ref to do? Help him up?

If true, that's nuts.

That stoppage is 100% justified. Cain was face down, not responding, and eating punches.

good stoppage, cain just turned his back and couldnt even move his arms to block any punches. Or maybe Dana just wanted JDS to deliver the deathblow for the Fox audience.

Is there a count in UFC? The guy was getting his face pounded into the mat with no resistance. Should the ref just allow that? lol

I'd like to take this time to thank Junior for facilitating the future championship reign of Alistair Overeem. Your efforts will not be forgotten on this night.

It's the ref's call as to whether the fighter can defend himself or not that determines the stoppage.

John McCarthy is the best in the business.

You do understand that there is a reason why the HW's were used to kick the show off? Most people want to see the bigger guys go at it. 200+ lbs divisions are viewed as the big leagues by most people.
