Joker_MMA Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 Yeah too bad the #1 contender is nothing more than a UFC marketing tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeusx18 Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 Yeah too bad the #1 contender is nothing more than a UFC marketing tool. If not Cain, then who should fight Lesnar next? Dos Santos is getting his shot after Cain.So who deserves to be the no 1 contender more than Cain at this point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riot_Act101 Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 i though kongo would be champ if he developed good sprawl/tdd. there arent many heaveyweights who can hang with him standing, so if somone could get his stubborn *** down to a wrestling/bbj gym, he would easily be top 5 if he had good wrestling, he would have ktfo the current #1 contender Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shinsplint Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 Too bad Congo trains at Blackhouse and thinks the UFC is a body sculping contast not MMA. Other then that he has great potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJKid Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 Too bad Congo trains at Blackhouse and thinks the UFC is a body sculping contast not MMA. Other then that he has great potential. He trains at Wolfslair... Although I think in the Pride days he trained Blackhouse, but can't knock Blackhouse either, how many world champs and top challengers come out of there? Nog's, Silva, Machida, Fihlo, I'm sure I'm forgetting a **** load, but it's 3:30 in the morn, so bite me lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurzy Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 Anybody else think that if he keeps on improving his underrated wrestling and below average ground game that he could still be a force? If he could just have Chuck Liddell type TD defense I think he would a lot more of a competitor. Other than against Mir, he always does well on his feet. I still think he has much better stand-up than Mir. But if he could keep the fight standing he could probably compete with just about anyone IMO. Although I am not too sure that he has a solid chin which would be problematic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ijosef Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 Yes, Kongo really rocked Cain, but Cain recovered and went on to dominate the rest of the fight with his wrestling. Don't forget, Lesnar was subbed by Mir in his first UFC outing. Both Lesnar and Velasquez are very different fighters than they were in those bouts. I'm pulling for Lesnar, but it's a mistake to count anyone out. I certainly wouldn't count Cain out as he's shown a great deal of ability and marked improvement. I think everyone in the top end of the UFC heavyweight division has a shot at winning the title. It might be a long shot for some, but anything can happen.

NickTF Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 I am extremely interested to hear how he does tonight as I won't be able to see it. If Kongo really works his wrestling I think he can be a top guy but at the Wolf's Lair not sure how possible that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
