Camp and fight night are two different things, and Cain hasn't survived a fight night in a long time. Cain always had the most potential of any HW champ but his body has gotten in the way. DC has been an unlikely workhorse despite all the hell he put his body through all these years.

Luck of the draw if you want to call it that, but DC is sturdier and wouldn't have to fight 3 younger guys to get a title fight after a 3 year layoff + the ghosts of getting KO'd at two different UFC TV launch main events..

It's also the HW division. They have a longer fight career than any division. There's a reason they reach the UFC with a record like 5-0, 6-1 ect ect. There's not a lot of them out there. Arvloksi and Reem are still in the rankings. Struve is ranked and he had two "career ending" heart conditions. Basically all i am saying is if Cain didn't tear anything.....he could fight again this year. If he did.....then he's most likely done.
