If you watch the replay, it looks like Cain's tapping with his right hand when Big John steps in, but tap or not, I thought it was a good stoppage (JDS fucked up my parlay, so it's not like I was pulling for him).

I think Cain will come back strong after this. He fell into the same trap that Rashad and several others have, "I have power, thus I'm a striker". I bet he remembers he's a wrestler next time out, this KO could end up being the best thing for his career.
Yea i read on a few MMA forums that Cain looked like he tapped. Im more of the impression his hand was slapping off the floor cos he was out for a brief second or two and it was natural for his hand to do that while he was getting battered by JDS.

To be fair to Cain he did try for the takedown, just JDS stuffed it and got out of it.

I think the time off didnt do him any favours, plus both guy's were going into the fight not 100% due to niggling injuries picked up in the build up.
Dude please he did one little shot if he wanted that takedown he would have got it. He said he was going to take the shot if it presented itself.

You just wait! He's coming back and he will mark these works! HE WILL GET HIS TITLE BACK. - Mattboxingfan 17/11/11.
