Cain will crush overeem.

I don't like immediate rematches, at least one win before that.

Also worth noting, JDS is classy in defeat. No excuses, no BS, shows respect for the other challengers. Good f'ing guy.

I guess I'm cool with an immediate rematch as long as Cormier won't fight Cain since I think there's quite a big drop of within the division between the elite 4 or so HWs(Cain, JDS, Cormier, Werdum) & the rest of the division.

I'd personally prefer Cain/Overeem(if he gets past Bigfoot) since it would probably do great business and would be a win/win for ZUFFA in establishing a champion to go against either Cormier or JDS, and as that is going on, I'd also prefer Werdum/JDS II, since Werdum is needlessly tied up with Nog and that is a matchup I'd pay to see.

But since Werdum is tied up till at least the fall(unless Nog gets injured, which is a possibility), I really don't see anyone of relevance to match JDS up against to really prove he's the next contender except Cormier(or MAYBE Barnett), and since Daniel won't fight Cain, it'd kinda be a moot bout. At least if JDS gets the rematch and wins, Cormier can have a little more clarity on whether or not he should seriously make the cut to 205 or if it'd be worth his while to stay at HW....

In short, the Brazilian and the Mexican could eventually provide one of the sport's most historic rivalries.

Cain is American....not Mexican.

smh.

Cain didn't beat JDS before JDS won, so he had to fight his way back. This is the same that happened with Arlovski and Sylvia. Tim lost to Arlovski, had a couple fights then beat Arlovski, they then did the immediate third fight.

That being said, your assessment is what I think will happen, if AO wins his next fight. If he doesn't, I beleive JDS will get the immediate rematch.

With a beating like that, he doesn't deserve one. Cain didn't even get one right away so JDS should DEFINITELY NOT get one right away.

Jds should have at least one fight before a rematch, that fight was way too one sided. It was too one sided for them to be able sell that fight to ppl who just saw him get dominated for 25 minutes straight. He's gonna have to make some kinda statement against someone else.

Matt Hughes didnt get an immediate rematch after losing to GSP..

The ONLY immediate rematch I felt was warranted, was the Maynard vs Edgar one after the draw.

This would be the same as giving Matt Serra an immediate rematch after 2nd the GSP fight. He "destroyed" GSP in the first just like JDS "destroyed" Cain, then got manhandled in the second. Makes perfect sense to me.




Both pairs of fights played out pretty similarly, yet nobody was comparing them as anything close in level of destruction the way they are the two JDS/Cain fights. JDS got utterly dominated....no rubbermatch...sorry.

Not really... Serra was a huge upset and he got the shot by winning the comeback edition of TUF. JDS earned his by beating all the top contenders on the way to a shot.

I agree he shouldn't get an immediate rematch though.
