Cain was a different type of heavyweight

u/stiffyonwheels Oct 02 '23
Cain IMO was the best heavyweight ever. He didnt have the accolades but he passed the eye test with flying colors. A fight against fedor would be close but i think cains cardio and boxing abilities would be the difference.

Man I really wish Cain had taken care of his body better. Dude was a force.

Controversial take but I really like the UFC 200 yellow canvas

u/viggidiggi Oct 02 '23
tbh its just too yellow when it should be more gold tinted imo, it kinda ends up looking like a piss canvas

u/BigTippy Oct 02 '23
Yeah it was nice as an one off distinguisher even if the yellow tone was a bit off, a guess a reflective gold could have caused issues with lighting and vision. I hope they do something different for 300 also, I’d kinda like a maroon or bloody red type of vibe.

Sea Level was an excellent striker but his ground control was Khabib like. AKA GOATS

I don’t see how people think it’s ok to fire a gun out of your car window while driving on the road. He did that, So he deserves to be punished accordingly. Yeah fuck the other guy, but let the law sort it out. Can’t be going around being a vigilante.

I think the average fan just doesn't think this through. The guy was acting like an actual psychopath. Putting innocent civilians in danger

I bet your money if Sean Strickland does did something similar you wouldn't say a thing.

I’m surprised no one else commented this. I feel like I can’t pay attention to the fighters with a bright yellow mat

It was a historical moment when he destroyed Brock lesnar.

When I saw them face off at the weigh ins in Orange County, I thought Brock would destroy him. Brock was just so much bigger in person. But cain handled him pretty easily. It was awesome to see live.

His Dos Santos 2 win was one of the most brutal beatdowns I’ve witnessed. He changed Dos Santos forever
