I can't tell if JDS underestimated him or Cain is just on peak form
The MMA thread
- Thread starter Fortitude
- Start date

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss Amad saving our blushes in a win against Southampton as well as our now annual loss at home to Brighton. They discuss Amorim's post-match comments, revisit how mid-table we may or may not be, and discuss some transfer news.
He couldn't get his base because of Cain rushing him. I'm gutted here.
This is painful to watch
This is feckin brutal
Fair play to JDS for hanging in there, he's taking a complete hammering.
Cain doesnt even look tired
Bit better at the end, Cain did slow down towards the end there.. maybe JDS can get back in?
JDS has to go for broke now pretty much
feck, I don't know. He has one hell of a chin though, he took some big shots against the fence earlier as well.
How is JDS taking some of these
If Cain wanted he could finish the fight in 4 punches it seems, if he somehow loses then he'll regret not using his JDS' tiredness to his advantage fully
Yeah same
Jesus, this is horrid
I haven't felt this bad about a fight since Leben KO'd Wanderlei.
Utter domination
Oh well. Credit to JDS for actually lasting the distance. Cain should've ended it with a minute to go in the first.
At least he survived, fecking heroic that he didnt get knocked out
feck off as if fans are booing him, cnuts
That pissed me off, glad that was addressed
They're booing him? What the feck?
Who'd have thought it, eh?
I thought that, shows what we know.Broke my heart a lil bit when JDS asked why the crowd was booing. I'll give you a man hug, bro!
felt so sorry for him when he asked why they were booing. Drunk dumb americans, fecking typical.
Dana just said JDS broke his jaw in the 2nd round.
Guess that 14/1 came through after all.... Even crazier given the circumstances
Edit: Diagnosis is no broken jaw after all

Be interesting to see how Junior comes back from that loss.
There were signs he was getting a little complacent going into the fight. That loss could be the wake up call that pushes him onto another level.
Cain has proved that he has the heart of a champion. Over to you Junior.

Cigano 
To all the fans who booed Cigano, I hope you all get run over by a million trucks, stupid idiots.
There are a few interesting fights in January. Bisping vs Belfort, if Bisping wins he gets his title shot. That's literally the only interesting fight on that UFC on FX card, at least to me anyway.
The next one after that though is good! UFC on Fox:
Demetrious Johnson (c) vs. John Dodson
Donald Cerrone vs. Anthony Pettis
Quinton Jackson vs. Glover Teixeira
Erik Koch vs. Ricardo Lamas
Flyweight title fight. I'm still not that keen on the flyweights but Dodson is an exciting fighter with KO power in that weight class so it might be good. Cerrone vs Pettis should be excellent, Rampage and Teixeira will throw bombs at each other as well.
UFC 156 is sweet though, 2nd February:
José Aldo (c) vs. Frankie Edgar
Rashad Evans vs. Antônio Rogério Nogueira
Alistair Overeem vs. Antonio Silva
Jon Fitch vs. Demian Maia
Gleison Tibau vs. Evan Dunham
Really like both Aldo and Edgar but I wouldn't mind seeing Aldo win. He's talked about fighting for the Bantamweight and Lightweight titles which makes for even more exciting match ups. Not sure how he gets to Bantamweight though, his weight cut for 145 is pretty bad apparently.

Just seen UFC 155, that's some statement Cain made there! fecking hell, he really took it to JDS, what an animal!
I think JDS will be back stronger than before and we will see a third fight between them one day. The crowd booing JDS can get fecked, stupid cnuts.

Cain & JDS to me are clearly the best two heavyweights around. They'll have to face each other at least one more time.
How people can boo Dos Santos astounds me. I wouldn't dream of getting in an Octogon with Cain for 5 second, never mind 25 minutes.
I am pretending UFC 155 never happened.
Atleast there is a bit of an even rivalry within the HW division. The MDW, LHW and WW are pretty one man dominated!!
Can happily admit when I'm wrong and this is one of those times, I genuinley couldn't see Cain beating Dos Santos here and expected JDS to be stronger in almost every area of the fight. Proven wrong this time around, though there's no doubt in my mind what so ever that the shot from Cain in the first round all but won him that fight. Up until then JDS was doing well stuffing the takedown attempts and actually countering really well, then came that shot and everything changed.
Expect to be seeing the third fight in this series at some point. Overeem and Werdum are waiting in the wings though, seems one of those will be getting a shot first.
Miller/Lauzon was outstanding and ultimately saved this card, what a fight. Leben was shocking, the fight was horrible to watch.
Cant wait for the Bisping/Belfort fight. Hopefully Bisping wins this and finally gets a title shot (Not that I give Bisping any real chance what so ever against Silva, but the guy gets so much unwarranted stick at times).

So I take it strikeforce is not on TV tonight?
Some good fights for its final show.

What do you mean by not on TV? Is it usually broadcast in the UK/Ireland? Showtime are showing it in the USA, no idea what channel it would be on over here but I'll be watching via stream anyway. Disappointed Cormier is no longer fighting Mir though.
Strikeforce is rarely on uk TV.anyway I have looked and nowhere has it.
I would be unable to stay up to watch
