Cain can use his speed, and wrestling to tire Brock out, much like Randy did laying on the bottom. And Once Brock has tired, Cain will be able to pick him apart standing. Which, if he can do, he will more than likely win.

Herring survived on the ground with Brock in his second fight in the UFC. It has been noted time and time again how much better Brock gets after every fight. Brock ended Carwin within 1 minute of getting him to the ground. Also, it seemed fairly apparent in the Herring fight that Brock was content with just beating the fuck out of him for 3 rounds because of all the smack that was being talked.
Also, with all this talk of Lesnar eventually gassing... Have we seen this happen yet? I'm fairly certain that we haven't and he's gone the distance in a 3 round fight. 5 rounds is of course different but I don't really see him getting so gassed he's almost falling over or anything. The guy seems pretty smart about how he uses his energy. Dunno
