I don't get why the UFC ever uses the big cage. They used the small cage last week and had an amazing card.

They can't avoid high altitude because places like Denver and Mexico City always do big numbers.

Mexico City is crazy high though, at least they only have 1 HW fight. The lighter guys are gassing by round 2. The 115ers could barely do anything in round 3. Too much space when both fighters are gassing.

Not seeing how Cain loses this outside of a quick TKO or SUB.

Yup, should've went with the R2 TKO.

Nate should retire IMO. He's got nothing left.

Gilbert should be ashamed of himself after that fight.

Side note: I'd be happy if they never do any more fights at high altitude. There's some great match-ups on this card that just haven't delivered because everyone's exhausted after one round.

this fight is ruined from the altitude, both guys look like local circuit guys off the street fighting at the end of the round

I didn't think the altitude would make this huge of an impact. Pretty sloppy.

I agree about Nate, I think he is tomato can status now and needs to move on

I also don't understand the big cage either. They did some writeup on a site and pretty much every card with the smaller cage has been exciting

[Webbie2689]

This is pathetic. **** Mexico City.

This reminds me of when I tried messing around with my (9 year older) old brother in our backyard as kids. Cain is getting straight up wrecked. Aside from a couple checked/caught kicks he hasn't done anything

Maybe Cain can find that second wind and catch fire, gotta dig deep
