I dont think Cain will be able to keep Junior on the ground long enough to do any damage until the later rounds....
Not sure if Cain can last that long tho
Overeem is the one to dethrone Junior

Reem's chin won't likely survive those combos JDS throws. Not calling his chin suspect per say I mean hes not Arlovski but he's been stopped by strikes numerous times and JDS likely will also. He won't be walking JDS down without eating hooks on the way in
If Cain doesn't beat JDS it's gonna be a while before anyone does IMO. I still believe Cain "can" but it won't be by manhandling him the way he's used to doing to people. He needs to alter Juniors gas tank and wear on him get him into the championship rounds if possible.

^Cormier can't make 205. The dude suffered Kidney Failure trying to make weight during the Olympics if I remember correctly. I think the dude is fine at heavyweight and his speed in that division really shines and easily has the best wrestling at heavyweight. I would love to see a Bones and Cormier fight at Heavyweight. That would be
Losing weight and cutting weight are two different things. Dude could diet and get down to around 210 or so, that way the cut wouldnt be as hard on his body. But i agree with you, hes best as a heavyweight
Yea that's true, but I remember Cormier saying that he isn't willingly to go to 205 and doesn't want to cut weight like ever again if I remember correctly from an old interview. The dude literally gets better a lot every fight. I honestly think he can give JDS a really good fight for the belt. I don't think he would win, but I think DC might have the speed advantage and we will see Santos' takedown D against a legit Olympian. DC would probably be too small against Santos, but I think he has a better chance than Cain does in the rematch imo

I'd play it safe too if i were him. Good lesson for these dudes that like to balloon up inbetween fights. I agree with you about being too small against JDS, but he can probably get a good shot from a bit away. If he can keep good head movement he definitely can get JDS down while their clinched.

I like Cormier in the fight, much better than the rumored Sylvia fight.
