Cain Would Destroy Overeem

brad89 · 10-27-10, 06:48 PM

Would be interesting if we get to see it. Is there much chance of him coming back to UFC?

jin2daj · 10-27-10, 07:09 PM

prob not gonna happen. i think cain's got a good chance. overeem is the better striker i think but cain could take him down and GnP

Pabinator · 10-27-10, 07:14 PM

They way I see it, the best fighters in the world are in the UFC (for the most part) so Yes I think Cain would win

Probably not soon. If he keeps destroying people, it will happen. Fedor didn't happen because he hates Dana.

Cains wrestling will dominate a striker like overeem... he doesn't have a chance.

JuicedUp · 10-27-10, 11:20 PM

I'd love to see this fight. I don't think overeem would get dominated by anyone. That guy is a freak.

THE_LOCKSMITH · 10-27-10, 11:37 PM

LOL were at Cain/Overeem now, Firts it was Fedor/Couture then Fedor/Lesnar, then Fedor lost to Werdum and i guess it was Lesnar/Overeem. Now its Cain/Overeem

lasker · 10-28-10, 01:23 AM

I'd love to see Overeem in the UFC, but there are still some interesting matchups for him in Strikeforce. And yeah, Cain would probably take him down and smash him.

My boy is juiced-up for real.

The HOFF · 10-28-10, 05:40 PM

Overeem won't be coming to the UFC. Dana would never let him fight in K1 and I don't think he wants to give that up.

jacktheknife · 10-28-10, 06:50 PM

I think he'd give it up if he won the GP and had nothing left to prove. Think about that one while you're watching him come December.

cains chin is a lil suspect, and overeem is a monster on the feet

Overeems chin is waaaay more suspect. I'm a big fan but I can't see him taking a big shot from cain. Standing, or on the ground.

MadTiger · 10-29-10, 05:59 AM

I think Overeem is a beast, but I don't know about this one.

But I want to see this matchup now. NOW!

This may be the next superfight. Overeem can get the K-1 out of his system and sign with the UFC for 3 fights or so.

goldengoat · 10-30-10, 10:50 AM

gonna be tough be beat Cain

JDS has a chance on the feet as long as Cain does not wrestle him

He would crush him via take him down and pound him to death.

Vrakas · 10-30-10, 09:30 PM

cain would win.i want to see cain fight fedor.

Shane · 10-30-10, 10:24 PM

I don't see many guys beating Overeem, but Cain is certainly one of them.

bogbat · 10-30-10, 10:31 PM

Why do people prefer to speculate about these Fantasy match ups over the amazing match up in place. That is Cain vs JDS .

Well, one reason is the manner in which Cain V. DESTROYED Lesnar. He didn't just beat him, he outclassed him and destroyed him. JDS is awesome as well, but Cain looked like a superman. And, you start to think about marquee/fight of the century matchups for him.

Kaladarus · 10-31-10, 10:35 AM

Cain would win, but they need Overeem in the UFC anyways.

GoldenYAK · 10-31-10, 01:32 PM

Cain v JDS is too easy to call. Basically free money from ur book.

Shane · 10-31-10, 02:04 PM

If Dos Santos can improve his cardio it may make things pretty interesting. Roy Nelson is no Cain, but JDS looked to have pretty solid takedown defense. Not to mention, he's said to have some nice BJJ. If that's not just hype, it could make for some intriguing variables to factor into the fight.

That said, Cain via TKO late in the first round.

The fight is very hard to analyze considering there is still a lot of unknown's when it comes to JDS's ground game. JDS obviously has the better striking, but cain has proven wrestling, cardio and ever improving striking.

If I can get JDS at 200+ I'll probably lay half a unit on him.

sideloaded · 11-01-10, 02:57 AM

JDS is a monster. Its going to be a tough fight for anyone to try to beat him.

ApexCap · 11-01-10, 10:58 AM

JDS is a good boxer, but he isn't going to just make up the wrestling deficit that exists between him and cain with a few years of training at blackhouse.

Look at mark munoz his wrestling actually got worse when he went to train at blackhouse.

Good point. What the hell happened there, huh?

Varker · 11-02-10, 01:27 AM

Overeem would destroy Cain standing. Overeem fights good/great strikers in K-1 all the time. The only real striker i recall Cain beating was Kongo who almost koed Cain twice.

Cain knows this. He won't try to bang with overeem. Will take him down like all wrestlers do when they are scared to stand and bang. Overeem sux on the ground. He has a great guillotine choke, but it is a standing guillotine.

That is the perfect match up for cain.

jin2daj · 11-07-10, 10:39 PM

overeem vs. cain would be awesome. but overeem vs anybody would be aweseom because i dont know how legit he is. beating rogers is impressive but doesnt prove anyhitng.

BobbyXxX · 11-08-10, 12:55 AM

Overeem wouldnt have the record he does fighting in the UFC

omalley21 · 11-09-10, 12:40 AM

Overeem vs Cain would be the 2 best heavyweights going at it. Tough to call. Cain's chin is far from suspect, its granite. Overeem's chin is a huge weakness. Overeem is not just a striker, he has great submissions too. JDS is overrated, Cain will expose him.

RaiderNation MMA · 11-09-10, 02:31 AM

id take ubereem, cains only chance is to take him down
