Cain vs Dos Santos is an interesting fight, we could see if Cain improved his striking or we could finally see what kind of grappling abilities Dos Santos possesses, this would actually be a good test for both fighters. I say ufc should make it happen.

Fedor looks more appealing each day.

Goddamnit, I was looking forward to that fight. JAN. 2nd is just a cursed date or something.
I'd also rather see Dos Santos VS Kongo & Cain VS Mir.

that's the whole point. i dont want to see wrestler vs striker.
if this ends up happening. i'm tell you exactly what happens in he fight.
Dos Santos hits cain with a couple of shot. Cain shoots take him down. end of rd1.
Dos Santos hits cain with 2 punch and kick combo. Cain shoots and takes him down. end of second rd.
and so on.
if Dos Santos is able to keep it on his feet longer and he might knock out Cain. Or if Dos Santos bjj is just as amazing as the nogueiras brother than he might be able to pull a submission.
i dont want to see this fight happen.
give me dos santos vs kongo and mir vs cain! much better.
or sign back monson and have cain vs monson.
and andrei vs dos santos!

This is a great point. I gurantee that Junior has better take down defense and grappling then Kongo. Big Nog has praised Junior and his abilities. That being sain I want to see what Cain can do when he cant hold someone down and has to face a good striker. Then again we can see what Junior can do if he does get taken down. This fight makes so much sense and especially if Carwin isnt ready to step in and fight Cain.

Then let Carwin come back and fight CroCop or hopefully Big Nog and maybe even Mir if he wins his fight without any damage (witch I think he will).

nog v cain / dos v carwin for interim belt tourny
