Right. I watched it a couple times and slow mo'd the exchanges and he didn't get hit with anything that looked to be the one that "rocked" him.
I think just like you said it was panic. Cain just stayed on him and hit him at every opening, but they weren't real hard and he never looked stunned.
I agree that he's still dangerous and it was a rookie mistake and to me similar to his first fight with Mir. If he sticks around, he's still in the upper echelon and I could see him getting the belt back.
Fortunately for MMA, it's not the end of the world when someone loses in UFC. They put them right back in the mix.
