When Cain fought JDS and put a beating on him.
Surely there can be no doubt that Cain is the best HW in the world, and arguably the best the UFC has ever had. The beating he's handed out to Kongo, Rothwell, and especially Brock, Big Foot and now JDS have been immense. He outgrappled, outstruck, and outworked JDS on Saturday in an incredibly one-sided fight. Credit to JDS for lasting all 5 rounds but Cain destroyed him. Broken jaw, broken nose, possibly a broken orbital bone. That's what's known as making a statement. Cain made JDS look like an amateur at times. He's so dominant when he's at 100% and I think two things became clear last night.
He wasn't ready for the first fight and clearly wasn't at 100%.
and
There's absolutely no reason to have a rubber match any time soon.
Cain will wreck Overeem after Reem wins his next fight IMO.
Oh, and the judge who scored it 50-45 is a fucking moron!

In terms of the rest of the card
Jim Miller looked fantastic, he really looks to have taken another step forward after recent setbacks. I'd like to see him fight Guida next. Lauzon is tough as nails, lost a ridiculous amount of blood.
Phillipou vs Boetsch should happen again IMO. The headbutt and the eyepoke caused the real damage. Boetsch has more balls than brains. He clearly couldn't see, he was winning the fight up until the headbutt and eyepoke.
Okami just Okami'd the life out of Belcher. Really disappointed with Belcher personally. Thought he'd reached a new level after his recent wins.
Brunson ran away in the third round and IMO should have been docked a point for it. He was impressive in the first round, not so much after that.
I missed a lot of the pre-lims, mainly because I wasn't interested in watching them, but I did watch Perez, he looks like a bit of a beast.

John Anik and Joe Rogan is so much better as a commentary team than Goldberg and Rogan.
