Man when he was healthy Cain just steamrolled people... But over the last few years Stipe's TD defense and grappling skills have improved drastically...And his cardio seems to be improved as well.. Stipe does get hit alot but can you really see Cain stopping him on the feet? It's possible of course but It seems like a reach.. No pun intended

I beleive if this fight had happened prime vs prime it would be a tough fight both ways....I see it going to either Cain by UD or Stipe by TKO...

my pick would have to be Stipe by TKO sometime around 2 or round 3 maybe? Your thoughts or pick?
 
Cain would destroy stipe.....Prime cain was the fast guy who KO'd Nog, that cain would be too fast for stipe.
 
Sea-Level Cain on an Island would have epic cardio...
 
>Stipes TD defense


This dudes been taken down by just about everyone who’s shot on him: DC, JDS, even Joe friggin Beltran LOL. His mediocre wrestling creds just don’t stack up.

Prime Cain DESTROYS any version of Stipe.

I don't know, I can see Cain stick to Stipe like glue and pressure punch him, make him tired, score. Or stipe keeps his distance enough and scores better shots, possibli outdamages Cain/stops him late. As you said, prime for prine tough fight for both guys.
But I was always big Cain fan (and it was tough in itself several times) so I'm biased.
 
There’s always a chance that Cain could get caught like he did in JDS1, but barring a mistake like that, it was hard to have a close fight with Cain when he was at his best. Unfortunately, dude couldn’t stay healthy.
 
Stipe is overrated .... prime Cain pummels him

prime Cain was maybe the best fighter ever....or maybe he wasn't. Too bad we'll never find out

Stipe is overrated .... prime Cain pummels him

Really? If anything, Stipe is underrated IMO. The list of names on his hitlist is extremely impressive but there's hardly any Stipe avatars on Sherdog or very many threads made about him
 


You sound desperate.

1. Cain has no business fighting in the UFC after the Browne fight.

2. He gave Kongo the most vicious beating of his entire career

3. Prime JDS was a fan favorite for anyone including myself, BUT it’s hard to deny that Cain derailed his career after the two beatdowns he put on him in the rematch and rubber match.


4. If you wanna you about embarrassing gifs:

Sometimes when you have two strong wrestlers fighting each other you might witness neither guy going for a take down or just the superior wrestler being on the offensive.

Naturally Stipe would likely be trying to keep it standing while defensively stopping Cains takedown attempts.

I honestly could see it going either way. Cain beating Stipe up against the cage while looking for takedown or Stipe catching Cain coming in for a takedown.

I'd give Cain the big nod tho. I mean if you look at DC/Stipe 1/2, DC was exchanging punches with Stipe 98% of the fight. 5'10, 40 year old out of shape DC. Imagine if DC was younger and in shape. He'd put a takedown clinic on Stipe and Cain would've likely done the same.
 
Vice versa
Stipe struggled with past his best JDS .... Cain made him look like a amateur....Cain is overrated based on accomplishments, but not for how good he was ....Stipe came around when lots of big names were on the decline....still got dropped by clean Overeem and destroyed by a 40 year old lhw

JDS has just come off a beatdown of Ben Rothwell when he fought Stipe the first time.
