Here we go!!!

Cain doing his thing. Werdum hanging in there but looking tired. Great round!

[ishmac]

I thought Cain won that first round by a hair, but he’s getting pounded now!

Crazy paced fight for a HW match!

Cain is not looking that good in the second round. If he’s only been in a Mexico City for a few days like Rogan claims, Cain should fire his entire camp for being incompetent. You can’t just show up at the altitude of Mexico City and hope your cardio works out.

[ishmac]

Cain looked really wobbly in the last minute. Wendum is handling the pounding better.

[Manic_Episode]

Cain rd 1. Werdum rd 2 easy

[ishmac]

Tap out!!!!

WERDUM WINS BY GUILLOTINE ROUND 3!!!!!!!!!!

[Impy]

AND NEW!!

[Mr Fuji]

What a foolish bull rush against a world class grappler!

Nice job Werdum!

[ishmac]

A deserved win for Werdum.

[Manic_Episode]

What Goldberg said was a big uppercut in round 2 was actually a knee. Rocked Cains world.

Who called this one???

Oh yeah...me lol.

[ishmac]

A clear win for Werdum. Surprised that there wasn’t more wrestling early. That might have favored Cain.

There are so many ways to lose! I look forward to a rematch.

[ishmac]

You sure did!

[ishmac]

A great night of UFC—many thanks for hosting the thread!

[Manic_Episode]

I never liked Cain. If I had a WHITE PRIDE tattoo everyone would call me a skinhead and a racist.

Nonetheless I look forward to the rematch. When Werdum subbed Fedor it was a very sad day for me. I'm very glad to see the guy who beat Fedor become the HW champ. Kinda vindicates Fedor a bit.

[Mr Fuji]

Werdum vs. Velasquez II should be pretty sweet if it happens.

I think the elevation, obvious lack of prep for it and Cain trying to come out and kill Werdum in round 1 was a recipe for disaster for him.

[Manic_Episode]

My pleasure. We'll be back next weekend early in the day Saturday for Fight Night Jedrzejczyk vs. Penne

Thanks all! That's a wrap! FUN!

[Mr Fuji]

But Dana said it isn’t racist!

I don’t think Cain genuinely means anything racist by it (I could be wrong) but it’s still a double-standard applied that shouldn’t be happening.
