"It's a 50/50 fight. It could go either way. I don't think the elevation was as big a factor as everyone made it. I think what happened was, so many people have underestimated how much Werdum has improved and become a true, well-rounded fighter. Cain respected what Werdum can do on the ground, but I think Cain wasn't prepared for how much better of an all-around kickboxer and great striker Werdum has become, and that caught up to him. He's not going to make the same mistake twice. Those guys at AKA know how to make adjustments. I think you're going to see Cain better prepared for a standup war and I'm not going to make a prediction, but I think it's going to go either way.
