    Thought Ngannou sparked him but looks like it was just Cain’s knee going.

    * horrible seeing him get yet another injury.

    Feel so bad for Cain. Must be frustrating as * having a body made of glass.

    Cain is done. Started to get that feeling when DC was saying he was the greatest and to prepare for 'vintage Cain' as well as all the WWE chat.

    Think that'll be him personally, his body is broken.

    Aye Ngannou never really caught him. Looked at first like he did but when Cain goes down you see the pain he’s in.

    Such a shame.

    Still think Ngannou caught him and caused his knee to buckle. Cain is done anyway

    You don’t go down like that without showing it on your face, his face showed someone who’s knee went, not someone who’d just had his bell rung.

    Anybody see the interview with Dana afterwards Nate claimed he was coming back soon and Dana immediately shot it down :39:

    Anyone suggests Ngannou didn’t win that fight by TKO after seeing that video is clearly biased.

    His legs gave way after a short sharp uppercut. The power he generates with no backswing is frightening.

    Yous are talking about the white guy who bent his body into the other guy's, making it easy for him to get knocked out or basically subdued? Looks like a fighter loses all control when bending that close because of the loss of control of gravity.

    Anyway, I was looking at a Bruce Lee like on the side channel of YouTube and noticed this video. Is this guy not using quite high level technique to explain how to defend against someone coming at you like that?

    I thought Bruce Lee was a stunt actor, was he actually a bona fide kung fu master?

    No way did pick up a rick saw with two hands :56:

    I like the bit where he captures the guy he's been looking for and hits him 40 rapid "Why you kill my teacher?!" :47:

    How is he meant to answer when you've just knocked him out.

    Wonder if he would've beaten Mayweather.
    In North America if anyone started noising me up I'd run like *, there are more guns than people in the USA, you win! :62:

    Yeah, I don't think it put Cain out, but it put him down which led to his lower leg splaying. Cain admitted as much post-fight, but then in the press conference he claimed the injured knee caused the loss.

    Sounds like someone had a word in his ear about a re-match. Seems to be suggested a lot more than it used to be?

    We are due a Glasgow card this year, trying to think of matchups.

    I’d like to see JoJo fight Eubanks, avenge her pals loss and get up the rankings.

    Not sure about Stevie Ray, maybe Lando Vannata. Yancy Medeiros beats him but it would be a pretty big name, coming off a loss in his lightweight return.

    Don’t know about Danny Henry. Kyle Bochniak would be a fun scrap or if you want to jump him up the rankings maybe Bruce Leroy or Arnold Allen depending on his London fight.

    Want a big main event though.

    Honestly Sean Shelby move aside.

    Feel like I’ve set the Scottish fighters up for a loss mind you...

    Ngannou defos caught Cain but his knee forced him to stop, he registers the pain in his knee immediately then curls up into a ball to protect himself. This suggests to me that he was 100% aware of what was happening, and would have been able to continue if it wasn't for the knee.

    I agree. The uppercut caused the balance to go, but the knee injury ends the fight. He's grimacing as he goes down. Who knows what would have happened.

    So the punch ultimately cause the injury?

    I think some folk are over thinking it because of who it happened to, any random fighter and there would be an acceptance of the finish.
