Cigano's boxing is retardedly slick and has the power and speed to probably challenge Cain on the feet. He's got a big size advantage, yet we haven't seen his groundgame to this point. Cain really impressed last night on his feet by knocking out the ironjaw of Big Nog, however I'm not too sure that fight wasn't more a case of "fathertime" than Cain's utter dominance, but he looked to have really cleaned up his striking leaps and bounds.
I'll take JDS right now because of his size and superior technical striking, however if Cain were able to secure a takedown, I'd be curious to see how Cigano would respond. We'll see how he does vs. Napao, but I'm quite confident size and hand speed would be too much for Cain.
JDS via Rd. 1 TKO.
