Just throwing out a question: a lot of people seem to be assuming Cain has the better cardio. Do we really know that?

Yes.

[MMA_scientist]

I think Cain can stop him. We haven't seen JDS on the ground... He is probably pretty good, but when you get tired with a big guy on top of you, it is hard to get up and you do stupid things. I could see Cain pounding him out anytime after about 7 or 8 minutes- assuming the cardio legends are true.

[MMA_scientist]

^I don't expect that to happen though. I do think Cain is going to win, but I see it as almost 50/50. I should be excited for this fight, but I am not a fan of either guy and I find them both pretty likable so I don't really care who wins. I am actually more excited about Bendo/Guida.

[Thewisemann]

Im really pumped for this fight.

[MMA_scientist]

I will be excited when it comes on, and I usually like watching good HW's, because it is almost guaranteed to end violently. BUt I just don't a rooting interest, so it is like watching the super bowl for me.

[SPX]

YOu don't think Cain can stop him via attrition?

Well, we haven't seen JDS in the championship rounds, so I have to say that it's possible. But I don't expect it.

[Ludo]

We have seen him tired after three rounds against someone who pushes the pace about a third as much as Cain does. If it lasts that long I think we see JDS pretty fuckin' exhausted.

[SPX]

Yeah, if Cain is still conscious at that point.

[MMA_scientist]

I was railing against Demarques Johnson's line yesterday... but now I find myself considering betting him. Johnson/Pierce/not cigano by sub/not Guida by sub is Even money.

But the only time we've seen Cain go any real distance at all is against a guy he could completely dominate on the ground. I wouldn't say Brock has amazing cardio, but he went 15 without tiring against Herring, similarly. It seems to me like a lot of Cain's cardio rep comes from what his camp says, but that's where we get lines like "Cawin's best round is the 5th." too.

Agreed..there is a chance Cain's "endless cardio" is all hype

Report: Frankie Edgar to Return in Japan, Guida vs. Henderson for Contention

[edman5555]

Well Cain did put a really high pace on Ben Rothwell and cheick Kongo. He was just non stop with wrestling, hoisting guys over his head. Rothwell is like 265 too.

[edman5555]

This gambling thing sure is hard...Junior or Cain. I was all about Cain for a while but it seems like everyone disagrees with me on some level. If I can get a better line on Cain I will probably put a decent bet on him.
