frustrating fight to watch
velasquez is soooo one dimensional, but he’s crazy good at it, I think another step up in competition will be too much for him right now.
in 6-13-2009 at 19:42:47 from 128.32.190.86
Damn, that was frustrating. They were on the feet for about a minute total and Kongo would have destroyed Cain if he had been able to keep it up for another 2 minutes or so.
in 6-13-2009 at 19:45:23 from 24.137.136.27
Damn, good control.
in 6-13-2009 at 19:47:02 from 207.68.119.33
Great aggression and control by Cain. Congo has a lot more heart then I ever thought he did. If only he knew how to separate better.
in 6-13-2009 at 19:48:21 from 79.11.121.110
velasquez is very very very bad ass!!
next ufc champ
in 6-13-2009 at 19:51:31 from 66.183.94.64
Cain beat kongo like a bongo
in 6-13-2009 at 19:59:11 from 70.83.80.230
Yeah! thanks Bruno!
in 6-13-2009 at 20:01:57 from 75.62.5.32
kongo’s game plan sucked. there were a lot of points where kongo could of broke away and should of stood up and back, instead he tried to wrestle a king of wrestling.
in 6-13-2009 at 20:03:13 from 97.93.105.118
Cain’s a takedown master. That was pure wrestling…but he could have had the arm bar about a dozen times. He needs to work on his jiu jitsu and striking. But what a beast for being so one-dimensional.
in 6-13-2009 at 20:04:12 from 65.8.20.124
WOW, Cain Velazquez aped him…..Give him another round COngo would be dead…that was jsut pride keeping him from quiting….what a beating, didnt think that would happen
in 6-13-2009 at 20:06:24 from 65.37.44.176
now wheres all the kongo nut huggers at?????
in 6-13-2009 at 20:06:46 from 71.157.163.216
Thank’s Bruno!!!
in 6-13-2009 at 20:20:16 from 69.45.177.204
Heart of a Mexican… Heart of Warrior… I actually felt bad for Kongo at the End of the 3rd round…
in 6-13-2009 at 20:20:35 from 97.93.105.118
Awesome takedown & control but passed up about a dozen arm bar opps. If his jiu jitsu was better he’d be willing to take more risks on top. He was afraid of the reversal and was way too conservative.
in 6-13-2009 at 20:26:16 from 71.157.163.216
Cain needs to learn how to use elbows.
in 6-13-2009 at 20:32:55 from 93.97.90.244
Valesquez is not yet ready to fight top competition, Kongo is awesome on the feet but this fight shows how weak his td defense and ground game are. You can never be a serious contender with such an obvious weakness. All this and he still could have won this fight.
in 6-13-2009 at 20:48:55 from 71.42.190.128
Frustrating to watch because Kongo seemed to have such an upper hand during stand-up, but very good competition overall…if both continue to win, I’d say it’d be worthy of a rematch.
in 6-13-2009 at 20:52:25 from 24.128.245.157
Cheik Congo has no clue on the bottom. The only succesful way he got up was by using the cage.
in 6-13-2009 at 20:57:36 from 72.177.203.58
Thats good and all but….whats he goung to do against a guy like brock lol, kongo at least had standup… this fight pissed me off lol
I want someone to eff up brock soon
in 6-13-2009 at 21:12:08 from 207.210.26.156
Kongo has so much potential. If he can just work exclusively on takedown defense and getting back to his feet, this guy is unstoppable. Unfortunately, every loss in the UFC has exposed that weakness.
in 6-13-2009 at 21:22:16 from 70.160.132.40
Carwin will own this man.
in 6-13-2009 at 21:22:28 from 74.79.9.122
cain will be like gonzaga. a good up & comer, gets a title shot, loses.
in 6-13-2009 at 21:26:54 from 99.247.170.82
I agree with Pocketmouth, if this fight spent another couple minutes on the feet Cain woulda got Ko’d or TKO’d. As soon as he fights a striker with the ability to avoid some take downs or atleast have some ability to get back to his feet he’s going to get tooled.
in 6-13-2009 at 21:31:11 from 173.87.182.141
Smart fight by Cain. I don’t see anybody that could hang with him. Carwin vs Valasquez seems eminant. Lesner is big and strong but Valasquez is one guy that he wont be able to throw around. The heavywieght division is so exciting now.
in 6-13-2009 at 21:39:52 from 71.188.130.253
Man, Congo was right where he needed to be a couple of times…in the clinch in perfect position to knee him in the nuts as per his typical game plan. Cain’s takedowns were just too quick though. I’ve been questioning Congo’s ground game ever since he fought Assuerio Silva. There’s just NOTHING there. And I’m not fond of him anyway because of the crap he pulled with Crocop.
in 6-13-2009 at 21:58:44 from 71.52.51.155
obvious domination by Cain; Kongo is a bit too long & linear/lacking mass to effectively counter take-downs. He’s similarly built to Spider Silva but lacks the overall ability and fast twitch reflexes. He had some chances if only he could of kept it on the feet?
in 6-13-2009 at 22:01:50 from 72.195.133.239
damn..i aint sleepin on cain no more boy…fkn good ass wrestling displayed there and control..fkn madd relentless for a fkn heavyweight damn he gunna have a good azz career uuUUu DiGG?
in 6-13-2009 at 22:03:57 from 24.215.89.233
wrestling is soooo boring to watch.. dry humping is way more fun when a girl or two is involved
in 6-13-2009 at 22:30:22 from 74.61.152.11
Some observations:
Kongo was far superior in standup, it was his foolish gameplan that hurt him. I am not thinking he would have won or been able to stop “Brown Pride” (I hate that tatt) but every time he connected, he seemed to hurt Valesquez. Kongo needs to improve his ground game to advance, period.
Cain, if he faces Brock Lesnar, will be destroyed in my opinion. He is a good wrestler, but Lesnar is the King. He also has punching power that is possibly greater than Kongo.
Valequez will lose badly to Lesnar when they finally match up. And I think Lesnar will defeat Mir pretty handily, so that will be the next step for Cain.
in 6-13-2009 at 23:09:23 from 205.144.218.234
Cain isn’t who we thank he is.
Kongo had 3 weeks to prepare for him,
an Cain wasnt able to finsih or put anything agianst him.
Yeah, relentless takedowns an he put on a good hold, but i mean come on, the punches were weak an when they were standing, Kongo was a punch away.
I wanted Kongo to win. I think he’s the better fighter an i think he stands a better chance.
Cain wont beable to stand with top HW like Gonzagaga, Couture, Nog, Mir or Brock.
in 6-13-2009 at 23:18:24 from 96.51.36.228
cain aint ready for the big boys yet, like carwin or brock.
in 6-13-2009 at 23:23:02 from 69.118.16.106
Great win for Velasquez, but I don’t see him dominating positions against strong wrestlers like Carwin or Lesnar. Will see…
in 6-13-2009 at 23:39:07 from 76.114.66.221
This fights proved 2 things:
Kongo still doesn’t have a ground game and Velasquez has a glass chin.
I don’t think Velasquez can take a more well rounded fighter like Mir or Minotauro in the good days. Fedor would assassinate him.
Lesnar vs. Velasquez will be the most boring fight of all times!
in 6-14-2009 at 00:28:05 from 99.147.110.21
did anybody count how many times cain bitch tossed kongo? Good fight!! I thought cain gassed until the flury at the end…
in 6-14-2009 at 00:32:12 from 99.147.110.21
why is every body up on Lesner nuts…hes had a handful of real fights….I still think he is ok…and maybe up and getting better..
in 6-14-2009 at 00:33:39 from 200.106.93.111
GOOD fight for Cain he has a good future !!! but he has to practice in submision
in 6-14-2009 at 00:44:34 from 69.232.69.94
I would like to see Junior Dos Santos against either one of these fighters, I think his stand up and Jitz would give him a chance.
in 6-14-2009 at 01:12:48 from 98.207.93.158
cain went in smart w/ the ground game to capitalize on kongo’s weakness. i appreciate the fact that he tried to stay active on the ground and not do the lay n pray s***. he put that active g&p beating as if he was a heavyweight st. pierre. he deserved that win cause he displayed how hungry he was for it.
in 6-14-2009 at 01:52:19 from 202.88.89.116
my guess is velasquez is going to fight shane carwin next
in 6-14-2009 at 03:26:14 from 12.157.134.103
im dying laughing at all you retarded nut huggers talkin about kongo’s potential, because… i didn’t see potential, I saw him rolling around like a turtle getting pounded on and begging for the bell. Lesnar = not the king. Let time tell and stop sucking his tube steak. He isnt Kimbo slice, but he isnt fedor, either. Im hoping Mir to take him. And cain, yeah, he seems to be lacking in power when it comes to the striking, but hes a phenominal wrestler, and you all seem to under play that because it was Kongo he was taking down and holding instead of some one else. Whatevs. Go Cain. He dominated Kongo because Kongo couldnt knee him in the nuts, nor could he land more then one or two punches without completing giving up his defense and being taken down. Punchers luck, thats Tank Abbott. And Kongo.
in 6-14-2009 at 03:42:55 from 76.216.170.161
Man Congo is the bigger looser in this bout. How many times did he have the opportunity to break away and keep it on the feet where is he strongest. Yet the bump ass tries to take Cain to the ground. He lost because 1. He is stupid and 2. He has absolutely no ground game what so ever.
in 6-14-2009 at 03:46:06 from 76.216.170.161
PitFighterZ are you blind. Kongo blasted him with his best shot and Cain still came back to win. Man, open your eyes or get a clue.
in 6-14-2009 at 04:15:19 from 97.118.88.118
boring…… once he fights a decent wrestler like shane carwin, or brock lesner its good night Cain because he will get KTFO if he keeps fighting like a puss
in 6-14-2009 at 05:34:46 from 68.97.152.209
Velazquez changed my opinion of him tonight, though not for the better or worse. I initially thought he lacked the split second decision making ability, but he proved me wrong when he was able to get rocked and immediately go to his bread and butter and regain control, but he opened a whole new can of worms as far as things he really is lacking. He seems to have the desire and capacity to improve so once again…let’s just wait and see what he does next. And just to be clear, beating Kango was no small feat.
in 6-14-2009 at 05:57:26 from 204.116.75.61
Cain did what he had to for the win. I’d rather see more standup but that would have landed Cain in the hospital.
Still not impressed with Cain.
in 6-14-2009 at 06:09:42 from 78.148.243.192
This has to be one of the worst fights I’ve ever seen! and it was the second last fight of the night! DW should be ashamed of him self, Congo has had six years to at the very least learn some basic ground game but no, this waist of space doesn’t even know the basics, what is he doing in the UFC if he can’t even prevent someone who has, at best an average ground game from taking full mount when ever he chooses… he didn’t even try throw him off. Velasquez does not have good control it’s he only ever had one heel hook in, if he had any skills what’s so ever he could have finished with a rear naked choke or arm bar (near the end) but he didn’t because he’s s***! just wait till he goes up a level, he’s completely one dimensional. DW should be embarrassed, bring back Pride… rant over :]
in 6-14-2009 at 07:53:50 from 76.25.101.78
Caines gonna get smashed one he fights someone with ground game.
in 6-14-2009 at 09:54:49 from 72.79.106.162
Cain is very very good at his control but not as good as Brock Lesnar. Brock Lesnar would dominate Cain on the ground and stand up. Poor Kongo, work on your ground buddy.
in 6-14-2009 at 11:11:58 from 68.209.181.75
This was by far the most exciting fight of kongo’s career.
in 6-14-2009 at 11:17:59 from 74.61.152.11
Did anyone notice how man “back of the head” shots that Cain leveled against Kongo without a peep from Mirgliotta? In the very least, those punches should have warranted a stand up.
“Brown Pride” will likely wind up with brown shorts laying on the mat when he faces Carwin or Lesnar. He is a good wrestler, but they are great wrestlers and each as strong as proverbial bull.
in 6-14-2009 at 11:39:04 from 71.224.167.60
After Congo landed those two big shots he closed the distance and was taken down. If he stood back and landed two more hard shots, that fight would have been over.
in 6-14-2009 at 11:51:23 from 83.233.210.28
Congo is such a nice person. He allways give his aponents so many chanses to win the fight. His takedown defence is one of a kind. I really think my grandmother could take him down.
Why can´t he do what he does best – legkicks and punches? I mean, his mui-thai is so good….
in 6-14-2009 at 12:23:50 from 69.107.130.230
now lets see cain fight shane carwin that would be a crazy fight with cain getting KTFO
in 6-14-2009 at 14:06:13 from 75.47.138.100
can velasquez do this to brock or mir?That is the question.
in 6-14-2009 at 16:08:30 from 79.220.52.75
to all the guys who said that kongo would destroyd velasques….you don´t have seen the fight kongo vs. crazy horse (i forgot his name)…he doesn´t know how to fight again wrestler/ringer.
velasques has an incredible ground controll, but he has just 6 fights. he has to improve his stand up fight and learn how to finished a fight with such a controll. if they give him time and two another good fights (not mir or lessnar), he can be the next ufc champion. at this time he has not enough experience to fight a big guy like lessnar and a expert in bjj like mir.
….but he destroys kongo and thats a message!!!
in 6-14-2009 at 17:04:16 from 65.24.81.196
Loved this fight and especially enjoyed watching Cain control and beat on a grounded Kongo. Cain needs to work on his standup big time but looked good everywhere else. I’d like to see Kongo vs Gonzaga next.
in 6-14-2009 at 17:15:31 from 65.24.81.196
This fight proved 2 things:
1. Kongo still doesn’t know how to beat a wrestler
2. Cain’s chin is suspect.
in 6-14-2009 at 17:24:59 from 77.99.122.57
Like a lion attacking an elephant or a giraffe or smthn.
in 6-14-2009 at 18:23:37 from 68.222.64.18
ummmm
in 6-14-2009 at 21:44:47 from 68.104.149.165
Cain, did what he needed to do to win, he seems to be very aware of his opponents weakness. What more do you want?
Before the fight many of you guys were talking about Cain getting KTFO, now you guys think it will happen next fight…LOL sour losers
in 6-14-2009 at 22:00:11 from 68.82.9.77
HELLO! he just beat the living crap out of Congo!!! Total destruction! No chance for Congo! yea Cain may need to get better but he went RIGHT AFTER CONGO AT THE BELL! and wrecked him! Good fight!
in 6-14-2009 at 22:08:23 from 71.97.130.137
If only Kongo had a ground game… He was winning the stand up, but looked lost (again) on the ground. Kongo has a hell of a heart and Cain has fantastic ground control. But his (Cain) chin doesn’t look like it’ll hold up well against a great well-rounded fighter.
in 6-14-2009 at 23:18:34 from 68.92.199.193
mabey cain vs carwin? winner get title shot
in 6-15-2009 at 01:29:21 from 67.98.222.15
Bout time somebody whipped Congo’s ass real good.
in 6-15-2009 at 02:01:41 from 96.20.145.49
I hope the UFC gives Kongo the boot and he signs with Dream so Crocop can get his revenge by way of kicks to the nuts, then Overeem should get the same treatment. Hopefully Gonzaga will lose again and get kicked out of the UFC so Crocop can rematch in a ring instead of the cage. I could care less about Skid Mark Pride, Carwin, Dildo Chest or Mir with there boooriing crappling.
in 6-15-2009 at 05:30:25 from 68.122.57.185
Message to Congo: Hire a Jiu-Jitsu trainer asap.
in 6-15-2009 at 09:29:17 from 24.130.185.129
Kongo should not have clinched so damn much and timed the knee 4 the takedown. He needs to lower his center of gravity- basically work his wrestling.
in 6-15-2009 at 15:49:47 from 76.119.28.248
brock would throw valasquez around all day there is like a 40 pound difference and brock is the best wrestler at hw cain would have no chance
in 6-15-2009 at 18:43:13 from 76.220.237.183
Brock would murder him……Mir would destroy him also!!!!
Noguiera would beat him also…..
in 6-15-2009 at 19:23:24 from 189.30.187.217
Nice jiu jitsu by velasques, good transitions, good shape and very conditioning, this division are inproving
in 6-19-2009 at 19:29:52 from 189.164.154.27
Cain will be the UFC champ, maybe in a year or two but he will for sure. he is no one dimentional, he was only one dimentional for this fight, remember congo on his feet could kick lesnar ass, congo is the one dimentional.
This kid is the future of the heavy weights
in 7-6-2009 at 19:47:32 from 97.93.137.123
Congo has Zero Ground skills and Velazquez coundnt submit him. Velasquez kept the fight on the ground with strikes but couldnt knock Kongo out. Frustrating fight. We know now that Velasquez is the better wrestler but thats not saying much.
