This is definately a better fight in my book. The matchup on paper is interesting with a lot of ways it could end. Heath would have been a better matchup for Cain, but maybe he can find a way to get Kongo on his back. We all know now, how you beat Kongo. Plenty of takedowns and hold him down. I think Herring would have still been a step up for Cain, but Kongo is a real challenge. I think Kongo has been working hard on takedown defense based on his last fights, so it should be a great fight.

I have to disagree with you a little Bryan, although Kongo will be a step up, Herring was more like a step back. After Cain got the win over O’Brien he needed to step it up not move backwards and face people that Jake had beaten.

Didn’t Kongo say after the Hardonk fight that he broke his hand? How long does it take to recover from that? Seriously, I am asking.
