Him and stipe the goat HW. If Cain didn't have all those injuries he would be #1 for sure. Hopefully he stays healthy so we get Him vs stipe.

Cormier is undefeated at HW and better than both.

I don't like this fight for Francis. He's up against a heavyweight with good head movement that has the stamina of much lighter opponents. Francis has heavy hands but he telegraphs his punches. I think Cain slips him all night and eventually finishes him on the ground.

Zero buzz for this card huh?

Will Cain look slow? He says he’s “always training, always in shape”

Ngannou.. did he get lucky with an early stoppage in Beijing or is he focused and back for real?

Considering rankings mean nothing in the UFC (#15 Anderson ‘GOAT’ Silva just fought for the #1 contender spot, #1 Moraeis is likely not fighting for a belt anytime soon, Stipe has no chance to fight for the belt even though he’s got the most HW title defenses of all time) if either knocks the other out in devestating fashion.. they could be the #1 contender for after Cormier - Lesnar.

OP why not add Vick vs Felder in the poll pause

Cain looking like shyt in training, can't really say much about this fight with so many questions around Cain's current physical condition. lol @ the original tweet praising how good he looks, MMA centric folks really don't know what they be looking at when it comes to technique and form.


Holy shyt, that is the ugliest left hook I've ever seen. Why is he throwing that shyt and jumping in the air at the same time? Jesus Christ, if he actually decides to box with Ngannou, it's over for him.

Nope I bet Cain(prime Cain) would wash Cormier but Cormier won't fight him cause they are friends. Cormier is in record say8n Cain is a better fighter as well. And I'm not so sure the stipe fight would happen that way again. I think stipe could beat him as well in a rematch. But dc fought fukking Derrick lewis who shoudlve never been in ther or skill wise.

Tough pik.
I'm going to go with Cain just because of his wrestling background and he has that to fall back on. Ngannou has to go on a big winning streak to make me forget about the Derrick Lewis farce
