Cain is a big dude breh, he'd feast on Jones. As far as Werdum goes, you must still think he's the same fighter that JDS destroyed. Tell me where Jones has an advantage anywhere over Werdum's or Cain? We saw what happens when he fights without his height and reach advantages. He can take a punch from LHW's but HW power is a whole different story. DC is not Cain, just throw that comparison out the window.

Silva is horrible and a vindictive little bytch. You can tell by matchups who he likes/dislikes. Hes probably still pissed Overeem ruined that all HW PPV a few years ago
Frank Mir vs. Antonio Silva moved to Feb. 22 following Glover Teixeira knee injury
"The Antonio Silva vs. Frank Mir heavyweight fight, originally scheduled for Feb. 28 in Los Angeles, has been moved to Feb. 22 in Porto Alegre, Brazil, UFC president Dana White confirmed with MMAFighting.com.
According to White, the reason for the switch was because Glover Teixeira, who was scheduled to fight Rashad Evans in the main event of UFC Fight Night 61, injured his knee and has been forced to withdraw from the fight. Teixeira's manager, Ed Soares, said the former light-heavyweight contender tweaked a knee injury that he suffered in his October fight against Phil Davis and now requires six weeks of physical therapy.
The UFC is currently working on what is next for Evans. He told MMAFighting.com on Wednesday that he was unclear who and when he'll fight next because there doesn't appear to be an obvious answer right now.
Evans (19-3-1) hasn't fought since Nov. 2013 because he suffered an ACL injury last February."

Evans is getting old man been spending way too much time on the IR, will never beat Jones so his wins don't really matter either real tough spot. Other than Diego is he the longest serving TUF alum?

Isnt that freakishly low for a 27 year old?
Cain is actually no bigger than Jones he fights at 235/240 iirc but that's all belly fat. He's shorter than Jones and will face the same problems DC faced, short range being the most important. Jones is 220+lbs on fight night. He can easily put on 5 lbs of muscle or 15 lbs of fat to match Cain. If Jones outwrestled DC the Olympian Cain will be a walk in the park.
As for Werdum, dude doesn't have ko power. And his striking while good isn't better than Gus or Glover. His only chance is choking out Jones. Good luck.
at Cain being a walk in the park, you're entitled to your opinion breh but you don't know what you're talking about.
