you guys need to youtube this cat's wrestling...he basically changed the game...i think askren is a horrible match up for anyone except lawler and hendricks.

but even lawler does bonehead shyt like lose to shields quick...shields is a division 3 wrestling wash out, and askren is the Kaiser Soze of that shyt

Give him Maia or Nelson if he loses to Lombard.
Test out his striking/grappling with Nelson and obviously grappling with Maia.
If he really wants to be a contender he'll have to soundly beat a couple of wrestlers or grapplers first, IMO.


in other news, Travis Browne says Werdum doesn't have what it takes to beat Velasquez. After getting fukked up by Werdum smh
Velasquez would maul the shyt outta Browne

Werdum can beat Cain in the same way he beat Fedor. Cain can be a bit sloppy with his GnP and he can't do that against Fabricio. I expect Cain to win but Werdum's chances are better than just about everyone at HW.

Cain can be reckless sometimes. Like when he kept trying to trade and bang with Kongo and nearly got knocked out.

His top game is crazy. And they way he transitions/scrambles for the back is just He doesn't have the best TD setups but if you are on the bottom of him you are bot getting up

 

[el_conejo_blanco]

I think Cain's top game is actually pretty tight and it might look a little sloppy because he's a heavyweight...you dont see too many people hitting those cartwheel passes off the the double

I actually think if Werdum can stop the take down, which he cant he has a better chance to win then from the bottom...Werdum's fight vs Roy Nelson

Cain does what he always does. Pressure to back you up against the cage and beat the shyt out of you.
