I hate when fighters are hyped as the next big thing and this and that before they proove themselves. Look what the hype has done for fighters like kimbo and lesnar. Let these fighters do their thing first, which is fight and proove themselves and then talk about’em afterwards

K-1 Level?
How many Americans make any sort of impact in K-1? Barely any. You’re competiting against European and Eastern European fighters that have been training in Muay Thai since youth in the best place in the world to train HW Muay Thai, Europe.
Even decorated American Kickboxing champs dont do very well other there, got a bit of a laugh at that line.

Cain is a K-1 Level Kickboxer who could beat Randy Couture any day… Javier Mendez sounds like a Sherdog poster.

lol Skeptical huh? Give it about a year, and then we’ll see. The exact guys that are now doubting will be singing praises and saying they told you so .. it always works that with the forum, message boards, etc..lol

Mark my words … I’d pick Cain to handle Randy with strikes right now, and I seriously doubt he’d get worked in the wrestling aspect either.

Wait a minute. I thought Brock Larson was the next big thing. You know, amazing wrestler with all kinda strength. I just can’t keep the hype straight anymore.

Yea saying that he is a K-1 level Kickboxer and would beat Randy sounds a little over the top to me.

I don’t care how fast a learner you are, there is no way he would be a K-1 level kickboxer without many years of training

whoa whoa whoa….

let’s not fall all over the guy too much there boys…he could beat randy up??? i dunno ’bout that there mendez. the guy might be a fast learner, in fact so fast he’s a threat to randy, but you’re talking about a guy who’s been in the game for years and years who’s got waaaaaay more knowledge in every part of the game. sorry cain, even randy’s wrinkly old ass would be too much for you right now.

I have watched him train many times at AKA the guy has some of the best cardio I have seen for a heavyweight. He never stops coming he never tires. He maintains the same pace round after round amazing for a guy of his size.
