A Look Back At The Cain Velasquez vs. Cheick Kongo UFC 99 Fight Video With Knockdown Gif.

kongo very is similar to dos santos in many ways, if cain is 100% and can G+P like this, dos santos has his work cut out,
thanks for the post.
i think this is how it will turn out tomorrow, cain will take jds down and gnp him. it is cain’s strength and jds’s weakness. cain has crazy good gnp.
The same thing will happen tomorrow.
JDS will rock Cain once and Cain will go to TOWN on JDS!
Damn looks like Chris Leben might need to turn in his best Chin in the UFC award to Cain.
I c the fight going this exact way except I do not c JDS knocking Cain down.
Congo sucks. JDS will win.
IMO this was the fight that made Cain go back and work on his hands and finishing fights. For after this fight Cain’s standup improved dramatically and started finishing all his fights. I see him dominating JDS on his feet and hurting and finishing him on the ground!! But everyone knows JDS hands are lethal and he will be dangerous every moment on his feet. So Cain’s smartest tactic will be to take him down. But remember JDS is also a BBB and we will get to see today how good he is on the ground. I have to go with Cain on this one because AKA has trained him so well!!!
JDS is much harder to take down and keep down. JDS is gonna take it. Cain has no power.

His weakness? When have you ever seen Dos Santos on the ground for more than a few seconds? The fight will stay on the feet, and JDS will finish Velasquez via tko in the 2nd.
JDS has much better take down defense and than Kongo. Kongo is almost infamous for his inability to stop shots.
Valasquez is a tireless beast. The million dollar question; Will his shoulder hold up?
Good call on this post.
I think there’s a good chance for JD to finish this fight.
What Wrestlers has JDS fought? Carwin is about it.. so saying he has great takedown defense without really having many fights to show it is pretty silly.
Cain has big jaw just like Bigfoot Silva so it will be an easy target for Cigano. If they stay on the feet, Cigano will take this one.
@slickrick
it is obvious that you really dont follow the fighters. JDS has only faced one wrestler in the UFC, and of all things didn’t try to wrestle him (Shane Carwin). Carwin was destroyed on the feet, and then finally tried slow lazy takedowns on JDS, that failed.
JDS’s only loss was due to armbar, back in 2007. here is the video:

JDS says his strong point is his boxing and bjj, not wrestling he admits this (even though his takedown d is good).
not to mention, Cain has faced better fighters. Out of JDS’s 7 UFC fights (wins), 3 of them have been dropped from the UFC, and 1 just was beat into retirement (crocop). Should be a good fight either way, but as a fight fan for many many years I have to say that I believe Cain has the advantage over JDS when things go to the ground, and they will. IMO Cain will win, but anything can happen.
Yes Cain got rocked, but he shot right away and took down Kongo. But JDS has waay better TDD, and hits much harder than Kongo. Too close to call..
@ace Cain has no power. Hahahahahaha! You’re absolutely right! And you also believe bj penn is the best fighter in the world right now?
Any fighter can take this fight, these are probably the best two HW well deserving of the title!
Cain is a better fighter and stronger wrestler, JDS couldn’t finish a standing target in Shane Carwin! So i think Cain will take this fight if he’s 100% healthy.
JSD hits harder than kongo and has better tdd
Ouch that was another brutal beating
roflmao at the people saying Cain has uber gnp skills
-First post, but I’ve been coming here for months 7 times a day- Thanks Bruno.
I agree with “Bernardo” that this was the fight that made Cain get his stand up right.
Also Most of you saw Daniel Cormier beat “Bigfoot” Silva. Cormier gave the credit to Velasquez. Which if he’s not joking means Cain will be as good or better with boxing as Cormier was that night.
Kongo has ko power and Cain ate those punch’s kind of easily. Hard to call this fight either can win, both have proven themselves to be killers in the octagon.
Kongo keeps doing the same thing, he thinks he’s a wrestler, even against superior wrestlers
Phenomenal ground domination by Cain!!! Absolutely phenomenal !!!
If saturdays fight goes like this one UFC will be looking to get back on Spike. I don’t think someone whose never seen MMA before would look at a fight like this and fall in love with this sport.
nah Leban will get rocked then stick his tongue out at you while hes on the ground.
Cain is a bigger version of Mark Munoz: great wrestling and awesome ground and pound. I’m going for JDS tomorrow, though. Who told Kongo he had a takedown defense?
I feel Cain brings more dimensions for JDS to worry about and thus that will cause JDS to pause for that split second that Cain will need to take him down or take him out!!!
Using Cheicks head as an anvil.Maybe he was forging a horseshoe for Mir ![]()
i hate those td after td all day long …..
if you hate takedowns, go watch boxing
Ahem. You were saying?
I told you JDS is gonna take it. Cain stand up has a lot of holes even Kongo knocked him down 3 times and JDS is much better at stand up and much harder to take down.
Oh cain brought more dimentions alright. Like a glass jaw and falling down like a sack of potatoes. The reem will take the belt from dosantos now. Proably the same way dos santos took it from cain.
