I agree completely, Dos Santos is far too fashionable for Cain, and Cain will not be able to take Junior in. It'll be far too much.

UFC 166: Cain Velasquez vs Junior Dos Santos

This UFC is going to be one of the most popular ones leading to the end of 2013. Junior Dos Santos has been mauling through his opponents over the last while and he has climbed his way back to have a title shot against Cain Valasquez. With his recent win that led to this title opportunity, he is coming in to this fight with high hopes. My opinion on this is that he will get past Cain Valasquez and acquire the championship at this UFC. His respectable way of dealing with his opponents and great fighting fashion will lead to a great win this weekend.

Cain Valasquez on the other hand has been quite relaxed as of late. Will he be ready to take in Dos Santos on October 19th? Does anyone feel like he will be winning this one for some reason? I'd be more than happy to hear from you all.

JDS has had only the 1 fight in between Cain and he was not overly impressive against the Super Samoan. He most definitely didn't maul him.

Your not seriously siding with JDS in the rubber match are you...?

Have to disagree there, MD. As OP stated - and you're not accounting for - Velasquez has been pretty relaxed of late. I think he can take him in. It might take some hard work and patience, but he can do it.

Betaholic perhaps you will have to give a rapid, furious kudos to Velasquez when he does it, eh?!

I feel like I would get along better with JDS so I have him capped at -500

No, I like Cain here. Think JDS is being overvalued.

Word. Im large on Cain so might make me sweat a little to know your on the other side. Good deal. I also think Cain has this. Think the venue for the fight tells a bit of a story as well no?

Sac man, your bets are usually solid, but this seems to be the thing you say more often than not on these boards. Can't you just take it for what it's worth? Have a cookie and a chuckle.

Dont get him wrong Leaf. Sacko had a bunch of cookies and he loves crap threads. He has friends in the saloon ffs.

I like this new-age thinking. Reminds of the Gaberz Criterion where anybody with an ounce of Armenian blood in them automatically becomes a -500 or bigger favourite

**Wanna Bet On It?** · 10-17-13, 06:43 AM

I'm still not completely sold OP.

Can you do a side-by-side video montage showing JDS's respectable way of dealing with opponents versus Cain's quite relaxed state for contrast?

I'm gonna need you to step your game up to GunShard level analytics.

^ On further review, I think that Cain has the speed advantage, but Junior looks downright fabulous.
