    I am upset b/c he shows another country love besides the one that has given him so much. Writing checks to the IRS is forced and therefore not love.

    If u know Puerto Rico is part of the US then u would know waving a Puerto Rican flag would be showing American pride.

    Not rly, but it would depend what opportunities each country gave him.

    'Everyone does it' and 'Everyone disagrees with you' are not arguments based in any sort of reason.

    Get over yourself. Nothing wrong with being proud of where your blood is from. If anything it drives him to keep striving; to keep being hungry. God knows what keeps his motor going.

    Correct.

    That's really stupid reason to be motivated.

    Nothing wrong representing your heritage. You do know Cain lives and resides in the U.S, correct? Has a family living in the U.S, correct?? U.S Citizen and the right to vote, correct? Has a car titled/registered in the U.S, correct? Has a house, rent/loan in the U.S correct? Trains with his team in the U.S correct? The pursuit of happiness, the right to choose who you are, what is wrong with that mr. America??

    Cain destroyed him. Why the hell would he stand and trade?

    I was there, there was nothing boring about this fight. Cain had a great game plan. CV took the center of the octagon away from JDS, taking away his right hand and worked the clinch game perfectly. Cain was beating him senseless. At the end of the first round, though not out of the fight by any stretch, JDS looked defeated mentally, you could just see it on his face.

    JDS was doing nothing more than trying to load up on the right hand. That right can put anyone to sleep, but you have to come with much more than that when fighting Cain.

    Sidenote: Diego Sanchez won over Houston like no one I've ever seen in mma. The crowd was beyond electric. Dude has mad heart.

    Hats off to Cain and Cigano. I'm sure they'll be fighting again sooner than later. Cigano has heart and a granite chin. Most of the HWs would be KOed with Cain's punches. I still would've picked Cigano in the striking war but it is MMA and Cain had a great game plan.

    Now I want UFC to allow roid Overeem just to make the division interesting. I don't see anyone beating Cain now except for Cigano.

    Diego Sanchez and Gilbert Melendez...amazing fight!

    Maybe he was bullied for being Mexican? Maybe he had the **** kicked out of him.

    Nothing wrong with voicing his heritage. You don't know someone until you step into their shoes. Assumption makes and ass out of you and me.
